Backup QB's (assuming Brunell's cut)

jdlea:

It was not all that long ago when folks around here were arguing that the Cowboys would stink in spades because Bledsoe couldn't play anymore. Some even argued that Patrick Ramsey was a better QB - in 2005 - that Bledsoe. Now you want to bring him here? Those folks will be all over you and you'll need to call 911 to get them off of you... :(


I'm not really advocating a Bledsoe signing. I'd say it was a step back from Brunell, however, if he's cheap and available, I would say that he's better than Todd Collins right now. That represents an upgrade at the backup position. I would go with Bledsoe at #2 first. I think he's about the same as Brunell, if Brunell turned it over a whole lot more...lol. However, he won't have a huge cap number, I'd prefer Brunell just restructure, but if that doesn't happen they have to look elsewhere. I was presenting options.

Drew Bledsoe??!! I'd take brunell with a termite infested wooden leg, fingers crazy glued together and blinfolded every sunday,before I would even consider the Blew Dredso-so.

I look for the QB situation to remain pretty much the same. Brunell will restructure and back up Campbell, and Todd Collins will remain to do whatever it is he does, because I can't imagine his services's being in demand anywhere else.

what about joey harrington? if brunell is cut why not bring in a guy who is not the same age or older than brunell


Harrington had a decent year last year. Bledsoe and Harrington want to be starters, neither is going to come here.

I would be shocked if Trent Green was dropped. It would be almost too good to be true, however, I guarantee if they sign Green that Campbell will not start in week one.

for real I rather them get no one if brunnel goes and draft a guy like Chris Leak

Yeah I agree.

Brunell's days as a starter in this league are over. He's not going to receive any interest out there, so his best case scenario is to be the backup here. He realizes this and he's basically already conceded that his best option is to stay here as the backup. I think they'll work out a restructure to keep him on.

This is a meaningless thread because Brunell is not going to be cut. Every indication is he's coming back and they want him back.

So it's JC #1 and I would say Brunell #2 or Collins and Brunell will compete for #2.

All I gotta say is I hope JC stays healthy.

I say we keep Brunell. As a backup, he can stay healthy and can come in and win a game for us. Collins has no history of success.

Brunell is effient and knows the system. We CAN win with him as long as the defense plays somewhat good, not like in 2006. He'll be fresh instead of banged-up and we can rely on him for a few games if needed. If we have to start Collins, we're screwed.

Besides, if we're going to have a down-the-field attack with Campbell, bringing in a QB with a completely different playing style can throw a defense off their game plan and film study and could be a big benefit to us. He'll be dumping passes off to a healthy Portis and he CAN throw deep to Moss if needed. He's not as bad as we all said he was when we were clamoring for Campbell to get a shot.

It's the offseason...without a majority of our threads being meaningless, we'd be bored!
