With all this talk of Garcia.

[Boid Fink]

Does Brunell have a shot to be signed here?  I think he has the same qualities that Garcia has.  A little bit of mobility, limited range on the arm, a bit of vet saavy...

[Larry Brackins]

Please God no. I don't think Brunell is a "Gruden type" QB. He has a big arm (or at least did) and is left handed. I think we could have a younger version of that.

[Boid Fink]

Yeah, but Brunell is mobile like Grads is.  NOt so fast anymore, but able to grab five on a bust.

If Simms stays Brunell would be a great back-up/mentor.  Garcia fits the system better, and I think he has more in the tank.  He would be ideal to play a year while a young QB learns behind him.

[Boid Fink]

Hey MJS, want to see if he is a FA next year?  And if not, how much does he make?

I shudder at the thought because Snyder was his check signer, and we all know how he rolls....

Brunell is scheduled to make over $5 million next year, so he will probably be cut/

please say no to Brunell, please.

That all true, and boy would it be fun having Chris here for another shot at starting.  J/K with ya MJS.

2 guys I absolutely can not stomach in a bucs uniform:

Brunell and Plummer...  Their acts are over, they bring nothing to the table that we can use.

I want Garcia.

I have no problem with Simms starting IF: Gruden changesadjusts his playbook; RT is up-graded; and Simms actually makes steady progress.

[Boid Fink]

Five million?

Holy cow!!!

Snyder is a madman.

So you think he will be cut MJS?  The QB depth is pretty thin right now, and with Snyder of the deep pockets making the arrangements, it would not suprise me to see him go after Garcia himself...

[dbucfan]

I second that becoming reality Turbo.  He is the one, and has been for a couple of years.  Maybe this year now that the bucs have some money to spend.

And MJS, I agree with your thoughts.  That said, I can hear your initial reaction if he is signed, prior to his needed improvement.  We would be talkin' ya down man.

And FWIW Turbs, I don't think I am quite sold on Garcia just yet.  IF his next few games are total flameouts, then what would yousay about him?

I think the GArcia threads would all come toa grinding halt.

[TURBO]

for the record, I don't want Simms back either...

Gruden is not going to change his playbook for anybody.  No need to visit that nightmare again.  Cut the strings and turn him loose...

Bring in Garcia and be done with it.

This team has had me on the ledge so often I don't need talkin' down......pushing me off might be kinder.
