Brunell will not go anywhere this season.
And when he makes the Superbowl appearance you'll be happy too!
People had written off Doug Williams before he won Superbowl MVP!!!
Only if I scalp him his ticket.
Brunell, and Collins have been in the leauge long enough to be ready for the regular season wether they get in or not. Does it really hurt to get Palmer in the last 5 mins of the game to see what this kid can do in a game situation, are those 5 mins really going to effect our backup QB's, who each have over 15 years experience as an NFL QB, from being ready for the regular season?
Why bother when he's practice squad material at best??

With the amount of time Campbell has been getting - up until this injury anyway - there really isn't enough time in a game for a fourth quarterback like Palmer. Collins and Brunell need the reps too.
If anyone should understand the hesitant nature of Joe Gibbs with rookie quarterbacks, it should be Redskins fans. No one should be surprised if Palmer doesn't get a chance to line up behind center during exhibition play.

Does everyone here understand that we didn't draft CARSON PALMER? With some of these posts you'd think we did. Brunnel sucks. As a starter. As a back up, he's slightly above average. Why are we placing so much emphasis on getting our rookie QB from a no name school who played against no named talent on our gameday roster in place of a veteran NFL quarterback who knows how to manage games and not turn the ball over? Anyone?

Good post, my thoughts exactly.
Palmer isn't even going to make the active roster, he's practice squad material at best and believe me, nobody is going to be jumping at the chance to snatch him away.

Why is everyone speculating that either Brunell or Collins are going anywhere? Especially when you have 2 coaches who will back either one as they descend into the fiery pits of hell (no play on religion, just an extreme exaggeration).
Is it a possibility that Brunell goes anywhere? Maybe, but 99.5% doubtful he's wearing anything but a Skins jersey. Collins even more doubtful now that he's nothing but a 36 year old system QB. And Jordan Palmer is nowhere near ready to be a 3rd string QB...he was drafted to sit on the practice squad this year and maybe next to replace whichever old fart retires first.
