inmate running the asylum Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Brunell Won't Return to Jags -- from FFMastermind.com The Florida Times-Union reports Jags QB Mark Brunell clarified his status Wednesday: He definitely will not be a Jaguar next season. "Without a doubt, most definitely, I won't be back," Brunell said after meeting Wednesday morning with HC Jack Del Rio to clear the air about comments made by Del Rio earlier this week. Del Rio announced Monday that Brunell would remain the No.3 quarterback behind QB Byron Leftwich and QB David Garrard for the rest of the season. Del Rio added on his radio show Tuesday that "in all likelihood, [brunell] will resume his career on another roster." Brunell, who has started 117 games in his nine-year Jaguars career, expects to be released before collecting a $2 million roster bonus March 1st. He said he sought out Del Rio because Del Rio had made announcements on his future without speaking to him first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate running the asylum Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 Typo error - Choice one should be: Sign Brunell and make Hasselbeck the #3 QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I don't see why we'd sign Brunell. We should keep Hasselbeck at the #2 for as long as he's able. A stalwart at backup can be as beneficial as any position on the roster. He's proven himself more than able, as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I hear Steve has already penciled himself in as the #2 qb for next year.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prophet Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Mark would be the best qb we've had in 10 years, only problem is he is in his 30's and has not played a full season in 3 years. PR and Hasseloff can duke it out for #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman56 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 And Brunell's a lefty. I don't like lefty QB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I think if Hasselbeck plays average this weekend, he's earned the right to at least fight for the #2 job in camp. We've all read and heard his stance on being a backup. He thinks he needs time learning like his brother from the #2 spot. Unless a NYC team offers him a job so he can be near his lady, he should be here like our own Jason Garrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Hog Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 The fact that we'd even mention signing somebody like Mark Brunell makes me shake my head. A good QB? Sure he is, I'm not denying that. And by no means am I trying to say that the backup QB spot in not an important position. I know its only been two games, but Tim seems to be showing that he might prove to be a capable backup. We have serious needs on our d line. The first dollar spent this offseason better be in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great28 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I think we have a solid back up in Tim. For some reason I see alot of potential in this kid. Give him about 2 years in one system, and it'll be him you're reading about and not Matt. We definitely need to sign him for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselPwr44 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 There is no QB controversy for our #1 QB,Ramsey's the man. Now if Brunell is signed we'd have a QB controversy at the #2 QB spot.:laugh: ...Maybe Snyder does this so that we fans can have something else to argue and complain about? :rotflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC4 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Originally posted by KevinthePRF Isn't Peyton Manning a UFA? Yes he is, and much to the horror of both my dad and older brother, who are big Colts fans, the Colts have yet to make a deal to keep him, and also the Colts are so cap-straped that they might be hard pressed even to franchise him, because to do that they have to pay him a one year salary at the average of the top 5 QBs in the NFL, and even that might be too much for them to pay, since they play in the smallest stadium in the NFL and thus, are pressed for cash to begin with. Having said that, I doubt the Redskins would be able to afford him as well. My deepest darkest fear is that Manning is going to end up, dare I say this, in Dallas as a Cowboy :mad: :40oz: The best case, for me anyways, would be him going to a team other than the Cowboys, but also leaving the Colts, so as to silence both Dad and my pinhead older brother, as they are unbareable. On a side note, I remember back in 1998, when Manning was drafted No. 2 overall by the Colts, after the Chargers rook Ryan Leaf No. 1 overall. My dad was SOOOOOO sure the Colts took the wrong QB back then :laugh: But try to get him to admit that now? Yeah, right!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Hog Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Manning will not be leaving the Colts. Tim should be our #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidFan Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Brunell will be a cowboy next year, not Manning....the boyz are too cheap and they already had interest in Brunell but didn't want to take over his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
