Redskins 3rd string qb next season?

Collins is not going to be able to repeat last season's performance if he has to play next season. The only reason he was successful is because he calls those plays in his sleep and knew where the receivers would be before they started moving. New offense, he loses his comfort level and effectiveness.

Of course, he proved me wrong last year, but him in a new offense is not a good idea.

I tend to think if a guy can play QB then who cares what system he is in? Is there really going to be a drastic difference in the plays that were ran last year, and the ones that will be run this year? Probably not. It's just different terminology. Both systems require getting the ball out fast with good timing between the wr and qb. The biggest difference we'll probably see is the tempo of the offense.

I actually agree with both you and Buster here. A system is just a system. It does not define how successful any player can be in it, just how the success will or will not be achieved. Collins' success in Saunders' system should translate just fine to Zorn's. It's not a big deal.

I don't think Collins would be able to repeat his form from last year in Saunders', or any other system. While he's clearly a lot better of an option than Joey Harrington, I was surprised that we were willing to give him 3 mil a year to bring him back.

I mean, you want to get a veteran presence behind Campbell, but only great players seem to be able to remain competent beyond Collins' current age. If Collins was destined to be a great player in this league, who just never got his chance, that speaks very ill of the scouting system in the NFL today--worse than anything I have ever said about it.

More likely, TC isn't a great player, but a pretty good one with a very strong potential for failure here in his twilight years and beyond, especially given the expectations he set for himself last year.

It seems like most people want to use a late round pick on a #3 QB on here. But we are collectively crazy if we think we are getting Booty with a late round pick. He will go third round at worst and i doubt we will spend a #3 pick on our 3rd QB.

I am available?

Does anyone really care who the 3rd string QB is? If our 1st and 2nd string QB go down history tells us that we'll go down the shitter. I'm all for drafting a scrub QB in 7th round and hoping he turns out to be a gem.

Draft Kevin O'Connell.I think he'll be a great 3rd string..maybe even 2nd stringer someday.

The only problem i've had with colt brennan is that he has a puny arm, he will just be one of those third stringers that will never get any playing time (Sam Hollenbach) cough... cough

Yeah, but Sam Hollenbach wasn't highly touted like Brennan was. Sorry, gotta defend my fellow Terp.

Have you been watching the same Colt Brennan that I have. His arm isn't that puny.

Did you see some of his terrible throws in Senior Bowl, there was this one go route and he just kept holding the ball and when he released if fell about 10-20 yards behind the wide reciever, that was just one of his bad throws, and also there was nobody even getting close to sacking or pressuring him.

I would call that inexperience with those recievers and waiting too long to launch it. It could have also just been a bad throw, but his arm isn't that bad.

ESPN reports it too. The Packers are also going after him.

The Brunell lottery:Redskins quarterback Mark Brunell is scheduled to visit the Saints Tuesday to be considered for a possible backup job. Several teams have inquired about Brunell, but the Saints, who were actively looking at Trent Green, seem to be among the most aggressive in looking at Brunell. Brunell has been training hard. He's lost about 10 pounds, and he's working hard on strengthening his legs. The

Packers are one of the teams considering Brunell. They have to make a decision now that Brett Favre retired. Do they want an experienced hand like Brunell, or do they want a quarterback in his fourth or fifth year to back up Aaron Rodgers? General manager Ted Thompson is thinking through that question.

It is a sad day for Quarterbacks and the NFL when Mark Brunell is a hot commodity, even for a backup. Disagree with me or blast me all you want, but Brunell does not have longevity.

IMO, grab whichever QB Bucs let go. Simms, Garcia, Plummer, Grotowski.... Any of them are more than worthy of 2nd string, let alone 3rd.
