Honestly, we don't even need Brunell...Collins can be the veteran backup. Typically your #3 QB should be an inexpensive young player. If Brunell is healthy enough and wants to restructure to be the #2 then fine, but no Kurt Warner's or other aging QB's are needed.

I don't think that "deer in the headlights" have two 1400 yard receivers. This is a very intriguing idea if he will sign for the minimum.
It’s not very intriguing to me. Every team the guy is on sucks! If you put any pressure on him he's just awful.

I think that it would be a good move. I can't think of a better way to make the transition to Saunders offense go smoother. With our o-line and running back situation, I think that a guy like Warner could thrive. Money is the real concern right now. Brunell makes way to much to be the backup, coming off major shoulder surgery. I love the guy, but I don't see keeping him as a good business decision.
Do we draft a guy with a late round pick and trust Collins as the backup or do we go after a guy like Warner believing that we are Superbowl bound again next year?
what are you talking about?? I dont hear Campbells name any where in this statement. JC is the man, will be the man. Warner is the answer as much as Brunell is. Our QB situation is just fine. If Brunell isn't there, Collins is just as serviceable as anyone we can sign off the street. Warner,, I almost fell down laughing.

I guess I thought it went without saying that Campbell is our #1 guy. I was specifically speaking about depth and who would I most like to see come off the bench if Campbell went down and we needed to win.
Other than Saunders, I don't know anyone who thought that Collins would be effective off the bench. Warner, with our running game, and his agressive passing, could work better than the Brunell experiment. My question is Warner at #2 or a rookie at #3?

I wouldn't mind seeing Brunell retire to save some salary cap space if possible. Collins is a servicable backup, and hopefully he would work if needed.

Warner isn't an upgrade over Brunell or Collins. Just another famous name. Familiar with the offense? You mean the Rams offiense of 1999. That was another century. He may be familiar with what Saunders did in St. Louis, but not with the offense developed here.
Unless Brunell is gone, and I don't think coach Joe will let that happen, and unless we sign Warner to the minimum, lets leave this one alone.
We need a Veteren to play at a moments notice and a Young guy to groom incase the JC experiment goes bad.
We've had some decent young guys on the team the last few years. We need draft someone in the later rounds and make him earn his money.
Think of what holmgren did in Greenbay with a young matt hasselbeck and what he is doing now with seneca wallace.

I agree. I think that it may be good to let Saunders pick a late round QB to mold. He could go to the practice squad this year and next (if Brunell sticks around).

NOooooooooooooo, they're all going to laugh at you...
There is no reason to bring in a guy who can't hold onto the ball, and folds under pressure. Warner needs to go back to bagging groceries at the Savalot in Podunk, Iowa.
While Brunell may need to be replaced, Warner definitely is not the answer.
