ey to do right before half time.
ey had an absolutely awesome game against the Steelers. I think the Redskins are gonna really use him very well this upcoming season and - one thing is for sure - Campbell is really developing a good relationship with ey already.
I am flabbergasted that they would not give a chance to Carson at this point just for a try.

I'm completely baffled by this as well. All I can think of is that Brunell has looked completely confused out there. I'm wondering if Gibbs is just confirming that what was seen in the first game was true... Brunell no longer has it. Perhaps the legacy of concussions past, I don't know, but he sure looked like a lost puppy out there a few times.

First, I assume you two mean Jordan since Carson is getting plenty of snaps. Secondly, I had heard (or thought I heard) that Jordan has actually gotten very little in the way of practice, if that is the case, that would go a long way toward explaining the reluctance to use him.
Isn't it possible that neither of those quarterbacks are NFL ready and, thus, are not playing? I assume you aren't advocating playing a guy just because. Additionally, again, if he hasn't practiced much, it doesn't do anyone any good to trot him out there.Redskin in Canada wrote:Typographic or name mistakes aside, the main point remains:
Why would any team SIGN a player to whom they REALLY not intend to give a chance AT ALL???
The fact that several of us cannot even get his first name right (in addition to our ignorance) speaks volumes about the lack of visibility and exposure. And to think that we did cut the other guy Bramlet with EVEN less of a chance ...

Ah, but it is possible indeed, which BEGS the question, what has your scout department and personnel manager done for you today? And if they do not play, when will they become "ready". If you do not test them how do you know if they are "ready" or not?Fios wrote: Isn't it possible that neither of those quarterbacks are NFL ready and, thus, are not playing?

BECAUSE it would not make sense otherwise. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to bring a body which you do not even intend to give the slightest chance to win a spot. This is not the first time that this happens with the Skins but is no less frustrating as time goes along.Fios wrote: I assume you aren't advocating playing a guy just because.
Cut him or play him. If you cut him, give a chance to Bramlet. If you keep him and he stinks, you have a reason. Right now, we need to look at the future in our backup QBs and Brunell is not it.Fios wrote: Additionally, again, if he hasn't practiced much, it doesn't do anyone any good to trot him out there.
Yes, we should. He should get a season-long recovery period. Or be traded to Atlante where the weather is more to the liking of somebody at his age and physical condition.REDEEMEDSKIN wrote:In fairness to Brunell and the coaching staff you all are throwing under the bus for playing him against the Steelers, shouldn't we take into consideration the fact that he's coming back from surgery on his throwing shoulder?
