Do you think Casey Bramlet has a chance to make #3 QB

Even though Collins has known the offense alot longer than every other quarterback, I think we are all missing one point: Collins will never get on the field. His only purpose was to help teach the other QB's learn th system fatser and to better understand the playbook. Now, his job is done and since we are in year two when the Al Saunders offense usually explodes out of the gate, I say cut collins loose. He no longer has a use to this orginization and I think Joe Gibbs knew that and that is why we drafted Palmer to be the three when Brunell retires and Bramlett will be the two at that point. But, I think we should get rid of Collins. He is a "moo point" right now.

have to agree with scheed. bramlet as the 3, palmer as the PS QB makes the most sense. collins has already proved he's not a starter, and the other two have had enough time to settle in the system by now.

and even though NFLe is just as bad as the pre-season for apples-to-apples comparisons, you can still get a general idea of whether or not a guy can play. Collins proved nothing, bramlet looks like he has some upside. as far as which i'd rather see as our #3, it's a pretty easy choice... though we're still a long way off from the regular season (or even pre-season).

I'd still like to see Palmer get it, but I wouldn't be too sore if he was practice squaded...until he got picked up by another team of course.

The throw Bramlet made for the game winning TD was easily a pro-bowl throw. I'm not exaggerating at all either.

The defender was draped ALL OVER the WR. The WR didn't even have a half step on the guy, let alone a full step. Bramlet launched the thing from his own 45 and it dropped over his WR's outside shoulder at the 3 yard line, landing in the ONLY spot where the WR could catch it and the DB couldn't.

When a defender is draped all over a WR like that, there's only one place you can put the ball, and that's in the place where the WR can use his body as a shield. Bramlet managed to do that from 53 yards away, for a game winner.

Now before I get all carried away, it's NFL Europe, and it by no means indicates he's ready to play in the NFL. But I don't care about Todd Collins and his knowledge of the system and experience and all that crap. For the #3 QB spot, we need to keep this kid around. He's got what it takes.

If for no other reason, we've got to find a way to keep him so he doesn't wind up playing for someone else (especially Dallas, NYG, or Philly).


Im so glad someone else say that play and realized what it was. It was the the biggest and best CLUTCH play i have seen in some time. Granted, the WR made a good catch but, jesus that was a wonderfully thrown ball. If they have a pro-bowl for NFLE, he should certainly go and start. Bramlet has a bright future in this leaugue if you ask me. Let him watch closely the next couple years and let him work his way up to #2. Screw Todd Collins. Last time I say him play, he passed the ball to a defensive lineman. I frickin hate the guy. Bramlet rules. Kepp him here and dont let him to to any of our NFC East rivals and were in good shape.

ALL HAIL BRAMLET!!!

WORLD BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sensing who the 2007 training camp hero is going to be.

LOL

Yeah well we can get all caught up in training camp heroes and I'm sure I'll make a big fuss over HB Blades and I'll watch Casey Bramlet...

But man, we're really riding on one man: Jason Campbell. Jason Jason, he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can!

of course he has a chance to be # 3. he is on the team because the coaches saw something in him that they liked. they sent him to europe to see what he could do over there and he is the best quarterback in the leauge.
so they picked him up because they saw talent and now he is very succesful in europe and people think he will be released. if they do that what the hell was the point in bringing him here in the first place.

Success in NFLE still doesn't guarantee anything over here.

Well, you could make that same point about using a 6th round pick on Jordan Palmer. If they didn't think he was capable of being the #3 QB, why bring him here in the first place?

It's about creating competition and spreading your eggs in different baskets. You sign a Bramlet, you draft a Palmer, and you let them fight it out with Todd Collins. There, you have two chances for a young QB to show some promise to unseat your cagey old vet, instead of just one chance.

Acquiring a guy does not necessarily mean you're committed to him. It means you're committing to getting a closer look at him to see what he can do. So it shouldn't be a foregone conclusion that Bramlet will make the roster at this point, for all we know (and all Gibbs knows) Jordan Palmer could look better in training camp.

That said, I do like what I've seen from Bramlet.

thats why i said he has a chance to be # 3 and not its a forgone conclusion.
nfl europe is definitely not a benchmark for success in the nfl but they send players over there for a reason and he has more than given the coaches what they were looking for. yes i agree that if palmer beats him out in training cam he should and will be the # 3 but i honestly feel that bramlets performance in europe has earned him the #3 job. #1 quarterback is the most important job in the nfl. #2 is top 5 in importance but # 3 in my opinion is for a young guy with potential and that is why i believe they will go with either bramlet or palmer and release collins. bramlet is my choice because of his performance in europe.
