Hey, there are other Cleveland sports to be discussed as we reemerge from our Cavs-induced hangover. We're committed to another kind of search here in the Search: for a veteran QB to help teach Brady Quinn how to play NFL football. Allegedly, Fat Weis prepped BQ for everything the NFL has to offer, but we'd rather see someone who hasn't had his stomach stapled and has actually received a live snap from center since his senior year in high school tutor Brady in these formative NFL years. Sorry, Romeo.
Let us just say, though, that we'd have no problem seeing Quinn start on day 1 if he's the best QB in camp. We've got no problem with that. However, we recognize a rising tide amongst Browns fans looking for a "vet" to allow BQ a year to sit, so we're willing to help. Quinn is not Tim Couch, fellow fans, and the Browns are a very different organization than in 1999, but we understand.
So, what about Mark Brunell?
The Redskins will carry three quarterbacks into the season and keep one other for the practice squad, which means six quarterbacks are fighting for four positions. Campbell is the starter and either Brunell or Collins likely will be the top reserve. A source close to the matter said Redskins officials have indicated the team will not keep both Brunell, 36, and Collins, 35, on the active roster.
In Chud's new "precision" offense, Brunell's accuracy might be an asset, no? The line is supposed to be good, and Jamal Lewis sounds like he's ready to run like the cops are chasing him again. Brunell has had success, is a smart guy, and isn't looking for many more years out of those legs. I like the fit--now the Redskins just have to cut him.
