Brunell and Redskins Reportedly Close to Restructured Deal

[70Chip]

The idea of bringing Smoot back has me genuinely excited. He is far from perfect but his big-mouth persona is much needed on that defense. Rogers and Wright play scared. Smoot doesn't know from scared. I think he would actually be a good influence.

CASEY FREAKIN BRAMLET!!!

Still going…

Sorry. I know I went on for a bit. But Casey probably could play better at this point. He just needs a chance.

Let me spell it out for all the bleeding heart Brunell guy's, the post was a knock on Gibbs and his insistance to keep Brunell on the team, Brunell doesn't make that decision, Gibbs does.

The fact that he will even backup, to me is a joke, how about we become a real organization and start bringing in young talent and start grooming other QB's? Rather than hang on to Gibbs 43 million dollar debacle. Brunell has proved he's shot, so now I am to believe he's going to be better next season when he's a year older? He's scared to death to take a hit, that fear only gets worse with age, not better. Yea that's all we need JC to go down and Brunell ready to take the reigns and lead the team to victory with Gibbs on the sideline creaming his pants. Sorry coach Gibbs the only I told you so about this Brunell signing from the get go comes from me!

I agree... I have no doubts that Gibbs is just waiting for JC to stumble .... so he can put his old buddy in..... And it will happen too..

I'm not going to get into a debate about Brunell. But honestly, bringing him back makes no sense to me. He simply can't play anymore and if he has to play then we are in trouble. Why bring him back even as back up if you know the guy can't get it done? QB's get hurt all the time in the NFL. Collins can handle playing if needed. He knows the offense and played OK during the pre season. Since Brunell has been here he has played 1/2 of a good season in three years, that in 05. I doubt Collins could do worse than that. Plus Brunell can't stay healthy. And I don't give a damn about Brunell's passing rating. His rating is flawed becase all he does is throw 5 yard passes to keep up his % and rating up. A college QB can come in and throw screens and check downs. Brunell doesn't even have confidence in his own abilities anymore, otherwise he would challenge opposing defenses vertically. We brought in all these WR's so we could have a vertical passing game. And if Brunell has to play then we go back to dink and dunk. It's not personal becasue I don't think he has been treated fairly by the fans. But it is soooooooo time to move on it's not even funny.

The FO should bring in a young guy that can grow and learn the offense. Let's face it. We are not going to the Super Bowl next year. Not with our defense. So bringing back an old aging QB without skills, coming off major shoulder surgery makes no sense at all. And I don't care about the cap crap. If Gibbs were not coaching this team it wouldn't even be a discussion. He would be gone. And if we had a GM who was not attached to the players he would be gone.

Very well said...He just can't play anymore..but he throws the best 5 yard pass in the History of the NFL....

Why would you think that? If you are going to use the argument that Brunell is "Gibbs guy", well I am going to use the same argument that JC is "Gibbs guy." After all Gibbs is the reason why JC is here and our draft picks are in Denver. Gibbs traded for and drafted JC. So Gibbs and JC are old buddies too...

He keeps restructuring and yet you still hold onto the $43 million argument? And just how many young QBs do you want to groom?

[Hog1]

MAYBE.................we can make Brunelll a...............CORNERBACK!

[SmootSmack]

Maybe we can make a trade for this guy

That's what I was thinking last offseason. I think the Vikings are another possibility. And the Falcons, but it looks like they're keeping Schaub
