Pages : [1] 2 3 4 5 Dlyne8r 08-20-2007, 02:11 PM I know this has been discussed before, but given the fact that D.J. Shockley, the Falcon's potential backup QB went down last weekend with a season ending injury, maybe there might be a legitimate interest now to jettison Brunell. Is this worth yet another thread? The Washington Times, America's Newspaper (http://video1.washingtontimes.com/redskins/) MTK 08-20-2007, 02:17 PM No way this happens. Our backup QB situation is shaky enough as it is. SmootSmack 08-20-2007, 02:19 PM Did we just forget the Falcons have Casey "Baby Favre" Bramlet?! Also, rumors of them trading for Holcomb or Chris Simms are still going strong BrudLee 08-20-2007, 02:26 PM Hmm... maybe. We certainly have a better feel for Todd Collins than we did last year. Collins in preseason last year was merely OK against 3rd stringers (78.8 QB rating), and he's been much better this year (115.3) against better competition. The strength of Brunell has been the idea of his mentoring of Campbell this year. Is a mentor worth, say, a 3rd round pick? Do the Falcons think Brunell is worth that? There are loud and justifiable voices who want to dump Brunell. I don't necessarily agree with them, but if there is something of value in return, then consider the offer. JWsleep 08-20-2007, 02:28 PM I would be shocked. Given our lack of experience in JC and Collins, and JGs love of Brunnell, I just don't see it. Plus, any new QB would have to learn Saunders playbook on the fly. I don't see it. artmonkforhallofamein07 08-20-2007, 02:38 PM I say trade him. If we can get a pack of bubble gum then let him go. Brunnel is done. He went 5-12 with a pick against 3rd and fouth stringers Sat. Night. He's done and he got old really fast. skinsfan_nn 08-20-2007, 02:39 PM Not happenin! mooby 08-20-2007, 02:49 PM If Collins plays against the Ravens first teamers next Saturday night and does well I could see this deal happening. We would have Collins to backup Campbell so we wouldn't have to worry there, and then Palmer would probably be 3rd string. The Falcons might be willing to give a good price for him too, because Bill Musgrave is the quarterbacks coach down there and he was the quarterbacks coach for the Redskins in 2005 when Brunell had his last good season. redskins21x 08-20-2007, 02:53 PM Brunell is the most rediculous garbage QB Left in the NFL He will never amount to anything then he has 8 years ago to the Jags.We should pick up Simeon Rice or Tank Johnson manditorybidness 08-20-2007, 02:54 PM If we can get something for Brunell then I say do it because right now he is on track to become the highest paid 3rd string QB in the NFL.
