I won't criticize him from a team standpoint, he's been a team guy & been classy, but it's obvious that he's been padding his retirement too. His reluctance to stay in the pocket 1 second longer to make a throw, or to run (which he still can, just not as fast) shows to the league that he's either lost his judgement, or is not willing to take a hit. He plays not to lose, whether its his fault or Gibbs' coaching him that way.
I don't see him getting much other than a #2 job anywhere else. He could help us here as a backup, but the question is do we need he AND Collins?
I've said in other posts we really need to get a qb w/a late rnd. pick or undrafted free agent & groom them as a future backup. W/ 2 old backups, that isn't possible.

correction, we could keep a young qb on the practice squad. that would be ideal

Why is it that everyone's dancing around the main issue here?

Mark Brunell has the best head of hair in all of football. Frankly, he should be promoted to the coaching staff to make sure the helmet doesn't ruin his line.
You are right about that. :food-smil
I don't know how he's kept it with all of the helmet-wearing. Most QBs are half-bald many years before Mark's age. He has a supernatural scalp.

he's not a starter in for any team in this league...
he can provide guidence and support, but as for getting the job done, week in, week out- no chance

It would be hilarious if the Jets signed him and he beats Ramsey out for a job AGAIN. :D

Chad Pennington might be one good lick from making that happen, you never know.

If Brunell retires are there any cap implications such as dead money to worry about?
