Brunell and Redskins Reportedly Close to Restructured Deal

Sort of. Its obvious that MB is not the starter now but I dont think Gibbs is completely sold on JC and I know for certain that Gibbs loves MB so by doing this deal it suggestes to me that Gibbs still thinks MB can play in the NFL and if given the opportunity will plug MB back in as the starter.

I don't this is the case. Why would Gibbs give up an extra #1 pick if he wasn't sold on JC?

The redskins give away draft picks like Xmas presents. They are meaningless, the skins dont care about them.

Being high on a player to draft is one thing, being sold on his ability to be a starting nfl QB is something altogether different.

I think the whole coaching staff is sold on JC. You could tell by the way Al Saunders was talking about him from his interview at the combine. I think he played well enough, and made enough plays with his 06 performace to validate that. He still has to work on his mechanics a bit.

I'm not saying JC is not going to be the starter but I think as long as Gibbs and MB are around there is a good chance that MB will become the starter at the first opportunity.

If Campbell is injured or really struggles I'd expect to see MB, otherwise I wouldn't worry. Campbell is the starter.

I wonder if your definition of "really struggles" and Gibbs definition are the same. I doubt Gibbs will let JC get to what you and the rest of us consider really struggling.

I agree... I have no doubts that Gibbs is just waiting for JC to stumble .... so he can put his old buddy in..... And it will happen too..

Why would you think that? If you are going to use the argument that Brunell is "Gibbs guy", well I am going to use the same argument that JC is "Gibbs guy." After all Gibbs is the reason why JC is here and our draft picks are in Denver. Gibbs traded for and drafted JC. So Gibbs and JC are old buddies too...
