For once, Redskins could live up to hype

The guy is going to be 36 in September and has been taking a beating behind the line for years. I just wish we had a proven, reliable backup.

I'm kinda tired of hearing how our QB situation is unsettled. And this has virtually nothing to do with what Ric-va-redskins just said. Yeah, some teams in the NFL have it better. Yeah, our backups are a guy who hasnt started in 7 years and a guy who has never taken a snap. Yeah, the starter is going to be 36 years old. So what. If you look at the negatives, you can find a problem with any team in the league. The Colts and Pats have backups worse than ours. Ditto with the Seahawks. Completely unproven.

But looking at the positives:
-Brunell is a really, really accurate passer.
-Brunell still has good legs in his old age and they have kept us in games many a time.
-Brunell has had great success in the playoffs, and finally has the weapons to take the next step.
-Gibbs has never, ever let poor QB play get in the way of a playoff run.
-Neither has Al Saunders.
-Gregg Williams did once, but thats why hes a defensive mastermind.
-Jason Campbell to many reports, is exceeding expectations
-Jason Campbell could be the most physically gifted QB that Gibbs has ever coached.
-Todd Collins isn't expected to do anything, but plans to contribute.

I'm a little worried about the D-Ends, but if Carter can dominate on the pass rush, it will make up for any shortcomings he has in the run game. Philip Daniels is closer to the end than Brunell is. I'm worried about the O-line depth, but if we sign Lincoln Kennedy, I'm no longer worried. But yeah, I'd say the QB situation in Washington is pretty solid.
