Re: RI: Collins is the no. 2

I am amazed at the continued bile thrown Mark Brunell's way. Do these fellow warpath members really think they can evaluate a quarterback's performance than Joe Gibbs?

With two solid backups, we are likely in better shape at that position than many NFL teams. The only real issue is that they're about the same age, we tried to address that in the draft -- it just didn't work out.

And no, the season would not be over without Campbell. Things would get tougher for sure, but certainly not impossible. Philadelphia certainly managed to survive McNabb's season-ending injury last year. Why not us?

Stop being so pessimistic...

I take it you haven't been around here very long.

Brunell is public enemy #1 to a lot of people.

I've been lurking around the forum for a very long time, just haven't posted much. Doesn't make the Brunell bashing any easier to take...

As for those that think Brunell is enemy #1, they probably should get a life. But it does irk me when they put their long-distance TV evaluation ahead of Coach Gibbs' professional evaluation. Whatever...

I used to be a huge Brunell hater...No longer....Seems to me since he had the shoulder surgery in the off-season his arm looks much stronger... I hope he can regain some of his former Jacksonville swanger...

I was never a Brunell hater. I do think he is trying to hard to show how strong his arm is after surgery this offseason. I also think it was affecting his accuracy and that is why he is # 3

You're so right on Brunell trying to gun the ball.

For the record, I don't think people here hate Brunell just for the sake of being negative or hating. I think the moment someone says anything negative about Mark Brunell, people are quick to say you're hating for no reason.

But there are definitely people who hate for no reason. As soon as someone says some mindless crap like well "Gibbs and Brunell go to church together so that's why he's starting" then you know you're dealing with an idiot who is hating for no reason.

Yeah, I agree with you there -that's hating.

Yep, it began when he took over for Patrick Ramsey, the boy-crush of many of our members.
