wow. he's really good at admitting he blows.

Big C · 08-09-2005, 11:53 PM

he sux really bad

BigSKINBauer · 08-10-2005, 01:14 AM

that other article while he was talking about his kids made me feel bad but if he really wants to start somewhere i am sure that if he restructured his deal just so we could trade him to another team a team would want him and i for one would be happy.'

I don't know why i just always thought that it must have been a flook but he really did suck, I just still feel he could be average, but he needs to realize that no matter how good he does in the preseason or in practice he will never start in DC again.

I have to say that getting Brunell, was the worst move that Gibbs has ever made. I really can't think of any that come close.

He did restructure his contract to help give us cap room. Who would ever trade for him?

Haven't we railed on this guy enough?

I'm with you on this one Matty. What gets me is how people seem to think he took such joy in and deliberately had a poor season last year. Apart from last year, Brunell has been a solid QB in this league for over a decade and a stand-up guy and team player. And being offered such a big contract was not his fault and he's under no obligation to say "No I don't deserve this" Yet he restructured his deal anyway. Leave the guy alone already.

MTK · 08-10-2005, 10:27 AM

Seriously, he restructured, he's taken to the backup role and hasn't complained one bit, and he battled the best he could last year under some crappy circumstances.

Do I want him starting over Ramsey, no way.

But I do think we need to cut the guy a break. He's the easy scapegoat for the offensive struggles last year, and any knowledgeable Skins fan knows the problems on offense ran much deeper than Mark Brunell.

At the very least, he will be invaluable in helping to bring Jason Campbell along. Not to dig at Hasselback, but I'd rather have Brunell and Ramsey serve as my QB mentors than Hasselback and Ramsey.

saskin · 08-10-2005, 03:45 PM

Yeah, after reading the artiel about his kids I started to feel really bad. But the guy has restructured his contract to help the Skins (how often do you hear of someone doing that?) And he hasn't complained of being backup QB this year.....I think it'd be best if we just lay off him.

jermus22 · 08-10-2005, 10:56 PM

Yeah, I'll definitely take Ramsey over Brunell but you've gotta like Brunell's attitude through all the adversity. The guy is undoubtedly a team player and good guy. I admit that I feel a little bad for booing him at the Packers game, and I agree that he does deserve some slack from us.

manicd · 08-11-2005, 02:07 PM

I heard he is not looking that terrible. As compared to last year. Sounds like he's getting a little heat on the ball now. Maybe he wasn't healthy last year. I'd still be nervous to see him in there though.
