Either way he was going to need surgery. So I don't think we can read too much into the timing of the surgery itself.

In fact, he may not have actually decided to retire just yet, but this may certainly serve as a catalyst.

Having the surgery before may be a smart cost savings move on Brunell's part. What medical benefits does he receive while under contract versus if he retires? Do the Redskins pretty much take care of everything right now? What medical costs does the player pay now versus after they retire?

I'm sure the injury to Brunell played into their thinking when making the switch to Campbell, but a change was coming regardless.

I'm not so sure that we can be certain a change was coming this season had this injury not happened.

The Post article said a change was going to come after the Skins hit a certain number of losses (6 before Thanksgiving). Pushing on with Brunell would have made zero sense.

A lot of stuff this organization does makes little or no sense. MB was Gibbs' guy and we all know how Gibbs likes vet QBs.

Campbell is his guy as well.

Give him a break...give him one week to show he's healthy next year if it doesn't work bench his ass....Or be like Florida and alternate qb's?
