Probably would have been mostly the same, although Warner would have likely had a significant better 2004 season since Brunell was hurting that season. Warner's had a stronger career though, so it definitely wouldn't have hurt. Probably wouldn't have helped much either.

Instead of trading for Brunell we should have brought in Heath Shuler and Tony Banks to compete for the starting job! Just kidding, I like this thread but I really think Brunell fit our offense at the time better than Warner. Like others have said, the run heavy offense doesn't fit Warner's style. Plus Brunell was running for his life (even on rickety legs he's more mobile than Warner) that first season and Warner would have been killed! There are alot of personnel moves we can question (which is fun and all) but the bottom line is we are who we are right now. Honestly, I like where this team is at right now and with the right moves this offseason we can be even better next year.
HAIL!

I don't get how you're assuming Warner would have had a better season in 2004?

Are you serious?? If we'd took Warner over Brunell, who would've thrown those two TDs to Moss vs. Dallas?? :)
Exactly!

I'd take Brunnel over Warner anyday! Warner not only has the ugliest wife I've seen, but she does all his whining and complaining for him too! Can you imagine it? All of us chanting "Ramsey! Ramsey! Ramsey!" and then its time for Warner to do his press conference............................yeah, I'm glad we took Brunnel over him! Even though he's in a championship game right now I'm still glad.
How old are you?

I would have loved to have had Warner, if only for a few seasons. Not only is he a good football player but he's an even better person. In fact he his probably one of my favorite athletes of all time along with the likes of Ripken Jr, Art Monk, and a few others. Of course we probably would have run him out of town before he got a chance to regain his confidence like he has in Arizona.

I can't help but remember Mark Brunell hobbling along with those braces like a young Forrest Gump. Yes he did win against Dallas that one time but I cursed him for three quarters before he pulled those two throws out of his rear end.

I mean, 2004Ramsey>2004Brunell and Ramsey is not a better player than either Brunell or Warner.

But we saw the 2004 Warner play 10 games for the Giants and have something like 9 TDs and 6 INTs, so is that really all that much better than what we saw out of Brunell in '04?

Mark Brunell is a great person also, and both have shown over time that they are solid mentors to young QBs on their team.
