Not if they signed Aaron Brooks to replace him.
:pffff:
Yeah, a turnover machine that the Raiders didn't even want and that doesn't know a page of our playbook would be a better backup than a guy who has started in our system and has played with the guys on the offense for a bunch of years.

By the way, what's up with the Jaguars signing Tim Couch? What's that all about?

it was 03...and I always thought he had more talent, he just played on a horrible team.
Who knows, he could be the next Kurt Warner...maybe he needed time away.

Don't quote me on this, but I think I remember Brunell saying Washington was his final destination. I'll try to find a link.

Anytime we do this its subjective, but off the top of my tired brain:
Mark Brunell
Brad Johnson
Chris Simms
David Carr
Joey Harrington
Brian Griese
Brooks Bollinger
Gus Frerotte
Seneca Wallace
Kurt Warner
Trent Dilfer
Brady Quinn
Charlie Batch
Kyle Boller (maybe)
David Garrard
Jim Sorgi
Tim Rattay
Sage Rosenfels
Kellen Clemens
Craig Nall
Billy Volek
Billy Joe Tolliver
Billy Joel
Bill Nye the Science Guy
Jerry Porter (just ask him!)
The Saints' Waterboy
Aaron Carter (but not Quincy Carter)
and Patrick Ramsey
So no, I don't think Brooks is a top half backup. I don't really think he has any business left in this league, no matter what Pete Prisco says.
Not that you had much credibility but Brunell was your first answer so I quit reading after that.
Midway through the season, Brunell could not run or throw the ball more than 8 yards down the field.
If you really think that Brunell is better than Aaron Brooks, you need to check into AA.

Maybe they are extremely desperate.

There are college lines better than the Raiders' from last year.
I would consider Brooks' seasons at New Orleans, not the Raiders. When an organization is that dysfunctional you ignore anything that happened there.
