so...who exactly do you want them to get rid of ? besides brunell.

Re: Brunell's contract voided

hopefully brunell will return at a more reasonable salary. apparently gus frerotte has been cut by st. louis. so i'm sure they'll be inquiring about collins if they haven't already (probably have).

i'd rather have brunell than dilfer, personally. i like him in a stop gap role. i'd still like to see us get a younger back up somewhere though. maybe an undrafted rookie if we can find someone worth developing. maybe even a 6th rounder but i think we have greater needs to address with our draft picks.

but if, say, colt brennan drops as far as some are predicting him to, and we can snag him in the 4th round. i'd say go for it.

Are you serious with this? Washington and Griffin aren't as good as they once were and I don't think Portis and Moss are either to be honest. The personel on this team is fine. We need to keep what we have, I am so sick of hearing about how we need to bring in all these west coast people. You mean to tell me that the people on our team cant run a west coast offense. Their humans they can learn. continuity is the key here. and who the hell is the eagles qb coach. why are you already looking towards the 09 offseason. youve got some thinking to do there buddy

Re: Brunell's contract voided

We definitely have needs at qb. I would like to see Brunell & Collins back myself, but that's unlikely & it would mean any rookie qb would be on the practice squad, just like Palmer last year when he got picked up.

Brunell would be a fine backup in Zorn's O. I think he's got 1 more good year of backup ability left. He has the respect of his teamates here & that means a lot too. I hope to see him in b&g again.

Re: Brunell's contract voided

If he's the backup so be it...other then Collins there is no backup out there that's going to excite anyone.

Re: Brunell's contract voided

I like Brunell...hes a classy guy...but so is Collins.
Either would have an easier time in a WC offense.
If he doesn't return, I will always remember the Dallas 4th quarter comeback game with Moss..A classic.

Thanks for the good memories!

Re: Brunell's contract voided

Re: Brunell's contract voided

I'm excited that we saved so much space.
I really hope we don't sign him again too. He had extreme difficulties learning the Saunders offense, and he kept his injuries quiet and hurt the team by doing so. He did well for that one year, but it's time to cut ties and be done with him. Let Zorn bring in who he wants, after all, he was a QB and should know what to look for.

Re: Brunell's contract voided

I don't think I've ever seen a QB dump the ball to the check down receiver as much as Mark. He gave it an honest shot, but I think it's time for him to move on.

Re: Brunell's contract voided

Even though MB was Gibbs guy he cost Gibbs more than any other player in his 4 years back. Gibbs just made a bad choice and then with his cap issues we were stuck with him. I think Gibs would have had better success if he would have found a younger QB with a good set of skills. With that said I feel MB gave us his best, was a classy guy, team player and I wish him the best of luck in life.

Especially that first year in 04. If we had just an average QB that year we make the playoffs. But I think MB should come back if Collins goes to STL. I DO NOT WANT DIFLER OR GUS. Dilfer was worse than Alex Smith who is a total bust. And Gus was just awful filling in for Bulger.

Re: Brunell's contract voided

I think Brunell comes back and with his knowledge of the west coast Offense, is a solid #2...that way should Campbell go down again, Brunell comes in and lights it up just like Collins did....and then the QB controversy starts all over again!!! just kidding

Well wishes to Brunell wherever he goes...he is a class act!

Who knows... maybe with some defensive help we would have been ok with MB in 2006.

If you think about Gibbs past 4 years. He had MB for three and a young QB for his fourth year coaching. Not sure if they get the blame for the weak O's we had those years but it makes you wonder if Gibbs just did not pick MB what could have been the difference in our team.
