Clarification On Brunell Injury

So it was mid-season when the decision was made after all.

I love you Gibbs! Always!

Of course, this does raise the thinking (I'm sure) that the only reason Campbell played was not due to lack of performance on Brunell's part but an injury.

Either way, I'm happy to move forward into the Campbell Era. And I remain a fan of Brunell, though I don't think there's much more he can do here.

He could be super smart and play his guts out.

I'm sure the injury to Brunell played into their thinking when making the switch to Campbell, but a change was coming regardless.

Asked last week if he expected Brunell back next season, Gibbs said: "Mark and I had a good, long talk. It was real positive. We like Mark a lot. Hopefully that will work out for us."

Translation: Oh, hell no!

I tried looking for a quote on ESPN.com, but they reported yesterday that Gibbs said he wants Brunell back.
I agree because we're not going to find a better back up to Campbell.

He also plays hard and gave a great effort. After throwing for 78 total yards.

So we're not going to have any cap penalties if he retires right?

Wasn't that spoken to in the post article? The decision to change QBs had been made based on when we reached a certain number of losses. The injury just made it easier to pull the trigger.

If he was planning on retiring, he probably wouldn't have had surgury on his shoulder right after the season ended, I would think.

Either way he was going to need surgery. So I don't think we can read too much into the timing of the surgery itself.

In fact, he may not have actually decided to retire just yet, but this may certainly serve as a catalyst.

724Skinsfan · 01-11-2007, 12:45 PM

Having the surgery before may be a smart cost savings move on Brunell's part. What medical benefits does he receive while under contract versus if he retires? Do the Redskins pretty much take care of everything right now? What medical costs does the player pay now versus after they retire?

I'm not so sure that we can be certain a change was coming this season had this injury not happened.
