Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle

Most teams would be F'd if they get down to their #3 QB

Yeah, but we'll be f'd if we have to rely on our #2!

If this trade is true, we are in serious trouble if Campbell goes down. Brunell is a great backup, Collins is not. (nor Palmer)

I hope it's at least a 3rd rounder, otherwise it was a dumb move.

In my book Brunnel is worthless. If the Skins get a seventh round pick, that would be good. A can of Coke...

It doesn't make sense to carry two high priced over-the-hill backup quarterbacks. I don't like Collins either, but it looks like he has won the backup competition. If someone is willing to give a draft pick up for Brunnel and get him off the books, jump on it.

Give Palmer clipboard duty and let him learn the ropes. He may develop into a good prospect. Third string is the perfect place for him. If you put him on the practice squad, another team can claim him.

Thought we werent supposed to post things like this unless we had a link. im sure they are saying we are preparing to sign vick. this is ridiculious. IMO

i have no problem with letting go of Brunell for a 4th or 5th rounder (the pick we will lose based on Kendalls performance). Lets be honest, if Campbell goes down and brunell has to start, this season is a wash anyway. Why not get rid of brunell now and build for the future...not to mention our usual tactic with draft picks is to blow thru them for mediocre trades. If we accrue a few more picks here and there we may be able to put them to good use later or at least not hurt ourselves when we burn thru them in pursuit of a ridiculously overrated FA.

If its any less than a 5th (or maybe a 6th) i think its not worth it b/c we aren't getting enough back and we are unnecessarily helping another NFC team. Imagine if by some ironic twist of fate we had to play Brunell in the playoffs. I could completely envision us getting burnt by him b/c of the bad karma.

After watching tape tonight I don't know how true this rumor could be... Palmer looked worse than if Jeff George was out there. To have Palmer active this season would be a HUGE risk unless you were willing to sign someone like Aaron Brooks, Chris Simms or Jeff George when/if Campbell gets hurt.


At this point I think the Redskins need him and I don't think he should be traded for less than a 3rd rounder. He's an immediate backup! He took a pay cut why we wanna trade him? Perhaps it's Seattle looking for insurance. I'm not opposed to moving him, but it must be worth it. Extra DL or OL.

I'll take that scenario anyday.

Seriously, Brunell is gone after this year anyway, and he's not enough better than Collins at this point to make dealing him a serious downgrade. Take the draft pick (btw, it's not going to be a third rounder you crackheads) and move on.

All I can say - I hate the Brunell hate (and I particularly hate the implication that b/c he is a christian he gets special treatment from Gibbs - seems to me more than a little anti-religion bias always gets mixed in with Brunnell).

We overpaid for him initially. That's not his fault. He gave us solid, not spectacular qb'ing most of the time, helped us to the playoffs, and killed Dallas on monday night. STOP WITH THE HATE.

If he goes, I wish him well - I think he got treated like shit b/c so many fans were enamared of Patrick "I never learn" Ramsey. Best for him to move on.

If Brunell gets traded, the cap hit from his horrendous signing bonus gets accelerated. That should eat up ~$4M this year. . . . And anyone who expects that Seattle would give up a first day draft pick for a washed up backup in his mid-30s is smoking dope. The pick would be no higher than a 6th, and would likely be conditional (i.e. based on playing time).

I like the idea of trading Brunell, we all know his play has and continues to fade, and for $ reasons. It would be a good move for the future, even though Palmer looked bad bad bad.

Does anyone else feel bad for Brunell? He always comes across as a genuine, great guy. When he came in after Campbell got knocked outta that game last year, a lotta people boo'ed him. I thought that was really f'd up. I didn't understand it and was pretty embarrassed as a fan.
