Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet

I know it sounds stupid but I have been out to a couple practices. I'm telling you Brunell's arm is so done. He can't even throw a 15 yard out. I don't care how much experience you have, if you can not put any zip on the ball you need to be cut. And Palmer looked real lost. Bramlett looked like he belongs. He doesn't throw it like JC but he wasn't missing guys either. He's looked pretty accurate.

I'm by no means qualified as any of the coaches but I'm really starting to wonder what they are looking at. I know Brunell has experience and I know Collins knows the offense but Bramlett looked better than both of them. So it comes down to the BS politics. Gibbs likes his guy and Sanders likes his guy and so on.

If I were the owner, I would demand that the coaches have more competition at all the positions. RB, back-up QB, D-line, corner-back, safety opposite Taylor and WR. It seems everyone has their positions nailed down and this team is 5-11?? That makes no sense to me.


I saw Bramlett play and I have to say I wasn't overly impressed, but you do make some very valid points, I do think Gibbs, and Saunders are married to there guy's, whether or not Bramlett can cut it who really knows at this point, I will take your word that he looked good in practice comparatively, but we all know neither Brunell or Collins can cut it, so why bother keeping them around? What purpose are they going to serve, make coaches out of them if they are so smart, it's not like anyone else is going consider playing them. If Bramlett is not the answer we should have more than just Palmer as the future backup plan at QB.

its this simple. Campbell is the starter. a very GREEN starter. to have anyone but an experienced qback back him up would be very, very, foolish. and Bramlet? come on guys. I'm with gtripp. i cant believe this thread merits 5 pages, and counting

I still think the status quo is what we'll be working with, even though Palmer was impressive in the scrimmage.

If Campbell goes down before the middle of the year, the season is over. I think Brunell has 5-6 good games in him as a back up, but no more than that.

And you're thinking that Bramlet is the guy to turn this around...even though he has 0 NFL experience?

No. I'm not saying he is the guy to turn anything around. All I'm saying is from what I saw just from two practices he looks better than Brunell and Palmer. Now I'm not saying he is a great QB or anything. Hell, he may suck. But the point I'm trying to make is why is it that so many guys on a 5-11 team have their positions nailed down? Can someone ask me why we have no competition at the back-up qb position? If we had any other coaching staff I bet there would be.

Also at WR. ARE, Lloyd and Thrash should all be battleling for the #2. No one on the roster has proven they can be a #2. But it's reported that it's ARE job. For what? Did Goldston show enough to be nailed down as the stater for the other DT opposite Griff? Hell no he didn't. So again that job should be open for competition.

WTF!!!!!! The Skins FO is retarded! Why the fuck would we wanna keep Collins? HE FUCKING SUCKS!!!!! My 4 year old could run and offense better than him. Bramlet will go somewhere and believe me, in 2 years we will be crying over the fact that we let him go.


Someone please right this down and hold him acountable in 09.

I guess the coaches just don't know what they are doing and we should take a fan's opinion based on seeing 2 practices?

Your missing my point. I'm done with this thread. Next.

The coaching staff is in love with Brunnel and Collins. Why? I have no idea! I've seen nothing on the field that suggests that either of these guys have anything left. Brunnel had a weak arm before shoulder surgery. They should make Collins the quarterback coach and cut him as a player. I think the coaching staff staff will keep Campbell as the starter, Brunnel second string, Collins third string and Palmer on the practice squad. This will be a gamble. Hoping that no other team signs Palmer. I would rather see the Skins cut Brunnel or Collins, it doesn't matter which, both are equally worthless, and keep Jordan Palmer as the third string quarterback.

No. I'm not saying he is the guy to turn anything around. All I'm saying is from what I saw just from two practices he looks better than Brunell and Palmer.

Good, because it's hard to miss your point since there doesn't seem to be one.
