@DCGoldPants Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Well, now he says that while we're meeting with Brunell tomorrow.....Dallas, San Diego, Etc are all still in the game for him. Very Nice....San Diego could give him the start right away. We should grab Blake and put him as the #2 guy. Jerks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They basically said he'd do more harm than good as a back-up. I'd rather have Griese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins26 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Yup, I want Blake, it would be nice if we could maybe run the price up on those other teams though, especially Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Yes. He's backtracking. He's been saying things about S.D. and such. He's been saying that Gibbs would meet with Brunell. What he didn't say this time, that he did mention last time, was the trade. In Mort's business, that's a backtrack. If true, he would have followed up on it. That's his job. Yes maybe the situation has changed. He was "corrected". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 basically, before it was nearly a done deal. Now it's "Well, the trade can't happen till march so other teams are still in the race for him" Why not AZ offering him the STARTING job and maybe Larry Fitzgerald to give Brunell a tough ass WR corp.

jbooma Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Originally posted by Park City Skins What he didn't say this time, that he did mention last time, was the trade. He doesn't have to mention every detail all the time. The fact is Gibbs is going to meet with Brunell, we know Brunell doesn't want to be a backup. Even last year there was a rumor we were going to trade for him in spring training. I don't think this is going away any time soon. I still think Ramsey is hurt worse then we know and might be out a lot longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot....right now there are quite a few teams that would definitley offer him the Starting job. 2 of them are in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 It is now in the post and said if the skins do trade a #2 draftpick for Brunell he isn't coming here to be the backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Mort was definitely back tracking. Also about Blake, I don't like what I read on here the other day about Blake being a selfish player and his teamates calling him Leon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 First Lenny P said that The Skins where very close to trading for Brunell Then it was Mort saying it was a done deal as early as Tuesday Then, not only was it a done deal but the Skins were thinking of trading Ramsey now it is.... Well, the deal can't happen before March 4th, and Gibbs is going to talk to Brunell, but Jax has 3 other teams who want to talk about trading for Brunell I would call that backtracking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's known in the business as a "bombshell" that he dropped with trade talk, hardly "every detail". As a reporter you most assuradely followup on something like that. He didn't. He backtracked.

Old Glory Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 But your still missing the point. The mere fact that Gibbs wants Brunnell is a sign that he is not satisfied with the current status or production from the QB position. And that's a fact.

The mere fact that Gibbs wants Brunnell is a sign that he is not satisfied with the current status or production from the QB position. And that's a fact. But the level of dissatisfaction is the question. Basically I think Gibbs wants a quality Veteran as a backup. To give Ramsey competition in training camp, and be a mentor for him during the season. If the Skins do trade for Brunell, I see The Roster as Ramsey #1 Brunell #2 (but might beat Ramsey out for the starting QB this season) Hasselback #3 Ham Sandwich- Practice Squad But that is just speculation on my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyJ Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Originally posted by jbooma It is now in the post and said if the skins do trade a #2 draftpick for Brunell he isn't coming here to be the backup. Context, man, context. Here is the quote: If the Redskins are willing to give up a second-round pick for Brunell, it doesn't bode well for Ramsey's immediate future as a starter. One NFL team official who requested anonymity said yesterday that a second-round pick is too steep for merely a backup quarterback. Sounds a little less definitive than your statement, doesn't it? Gibbs wants a veteran QB. His statements make it clear that he puts a high value on that. Getting one of Brunell's quality might very well be worth a second-round pick to him. I could even see him opening the QB position. I do not unequivocally believe that Brunell's arrival spells the end for Ramsey. Just be patient, and see how it plays out. Could it be possible that the reporters are all trying to scoop each other on this, and that they may be jumping the gun on things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Brunell isn't coming here unless he's the starter. He'll veto any trade a to team that doesn't make him a starter. How can he do that- by retiring. If Brunell come here; he's the new starting QB and Ramsey will be traded. Gibbs will want a veteran to backup Brunell. If Brunell comes here, the roster could be: Starting Qb- Brunell Backup QB- Blake 3rd String- Hassellback or somebody else Ramsey is traded for a #1.
