Do you think Casey Bramlet has a chance to make #3 QB

[GoSkins!]

1.475 Million is a lot to pay for a third QB. Face it, this is a guy who isn't going to even see the field unless things go very wrong. I have to believe that either Collins or Brunell will be gone. That money could be better used to re-sign Cooley.

I think collins is on his way out, Casey would IMO be the most reasonable replacement at the #3 spot.

Collins has a huge advantage in that he's someone that Saunders really trusts. Bramlet would have to be very, very impressive in camp in order for him to take Collins spot. I just don't see that happening.

I think collins marriage with saunders is about to disolve, I don't know about the trust, he's never been his starter. He's old and a life time backup, and making to much cash.

I think collins would be the first to go, if mark isn't where they think he should be, it could be him but I doubt it very seriously.

We could bring in casey alot cheaper to carry a clip board.

I could think of alot of better uses of that cash than colllins at #3 QB.

I think Palmer is practice squad material at best. He'll have no shot to beat out Collins.

I have no idea who will be the #3 QB this year. Here's something I am sure of:


If the Skins have to turn to the #3 QB to take 20 snaps for any reason other than they are winning a game by 44 points or more in the 4th quarter and they decide to give the #3 guy a few reps, then the Skins' season will be circling the drain.

C'mon guys haven't u seen Any Given Sunday...I hope we pick up Jamie Foxx as our 3rd string QB. Hey it could happen.

Seriously though, I don't think bramlet or palmer or collins making the team makes that big of a difference one way or another in the grand scheme of things. However, as someone pointed out early it could be beneficial if either palmer or bramlet develops and we can use his trade value to better the team at some other position.

Casey Bramlet Tearing It Up/Springs Still Excused - Redskins Insider

JLC also has some nice things to say about him too. Cutting Collins with that salary and at least giving Bramlet a chance sounds good to me.

[SBXVII]

Wait....wasn't Atlanta looking for another QB? Lets just ship him off....free of charge. Well maybe we can bring up the topic of a DE or DL and if they don't bite we can simply cut him. Keep the young guys. I only hope Bramlet shows well. I know he looks good over there but it maybe that he understands the system he is in better over there. I know he learned our system this year but he has not been here learning what he has to do like JC has. I think it would have been better to name JC 1st string and train both over the break so they both under stand the offense.

I've followed the Hamburg Sea Devils in particular because of Casey Bramlet. I LOVE this kid. He gets it done in the clutch when he needs too. Anyone see the game yesterday? Awesome finish. Bramlet should be a WALK-ON for #3. Collins should, SHOULD!, go bye bye with Brunell at #2. Palmer on practice squad.

All hail Bramlet.

All hail Bramlet.

Yes, I did catch some of the game, and yes this kid looks sharp. I do agree if you're gonna have a guy carrying a clip board, make it a young guy that might have a future in the NFL, for a lot less money than Collins.

It would make no sense to pay Collins, as long as Mark is healthy, which apparently he is throwing well and ahead of schedule. I would bring in Casey as #3 and dump Al's boy.

The throw Bramlet made for the game winning TD was easily a pro-bowl throw. I'm not exaggerating at all either.

The defender was draped ALL OVER the WR. The WR didn't even have a half step on the guy, let alone a full step. Bramlet launched the thing from his own 45 and it dropped over his WR's outside shoulder at the 3 yard line, landing in the ONLY spot where the WR could catch it and the DB couldn't.

When a defender is draped all over a WR like that, there's only one place you can put the ball, and that's in the place where the WR can use his body as a shield. Bramlet managed to do that from 53 yards away, for a game winner.

Now before I get all carried away, it's NFL Europe, and it by no means indicates he's ready to play in the NFL. But I don't care about Todd Collins and his knowledge of the system and experience and all that crap. For the #3 QB spot, we need to keep this kid around. He's got what it takes.

If for no other reason, we've got to find a way to keep him so he doesn't wind up playing for someone else (especially Dallas, NYG, or Philly).

Im so glad someone else say that play and realized what it was. It was the the biggest and best CLUTCH play i have seen in some time. Granted, the WR made a good catch but, jesus that was a wonderfully thrown ball. If they have a pro-bowl for NFLE, he should certainly go and start. Bramlet has a bright future in this leaugue if you ask me. Let him watch closely the next couple years and let him work his way up to #2. Screw Todd Collins. Last time I say him play, he passed the ball to a defensive lineman. I frickin hate the guy. Bramlet rules. Kepp him here and dont let him to to any of our NFC East rivals and were in good shape.

ALL HAIL BRAMLET!!!

WORLD BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!

have to agree with scheed. bramlet as the 3, palmer as the PS QB makes the most sense. collins has already proved he's not a starter, and the other two have had enough time to settle in the system by now.

and even though NFLe is just as bad as the pre-season for apples-to-apples comparisons, you can still get a general idea of whether or not a guy can play. Collins proved nothing, bramlet looks like he has some upside. as far as which i'd rather see as our #3, it's a pretty easy choice... though we're still a long way off from the regular season (or even pre-season).

Welcome back.

I'd still like to see Palmer get it, but I wouldn't be too sore if he was practice squaded...until he got picked up by another team of course.
