I actually think he will be placed on the Practice squad. And perhaps fight for 3rd QB next season, once Ramsey/Brunell are gone.

I'd be shocked if Spinner even takes 1 preseason snap.

Yeah, but that is only b/c those snaps are too valuable for Ramsey, Campbell, and Brunell.

Big surprise here, but I don't see alot of future in Bryson Spinner. He looked ok in tc, but not competitive or a threat. The dude looked more like a linebacker with his physique. All 4 of the qbs physical stature was very contrasting. It was kind of funny.

Hard for a 4th QB to take a snap when #1 can't get his **** straight.

Heck, Campbell is having problems getting snaps during the offseason...

That guy is a waste of practice squad space.

Groom looks pretty good if tupa cant get over what ever he is going threw he might be gone.

I've been thinking that... If Tupa is healthy though the job is his.

The problem with groom is they will never wast a practice squad space for him and Tupa did such a good job last year he deserves every opportunity to be the punter this year.

Punters are a dime a dozen, but I am reminded of the Barker/Williams punting battle in 2000 when Williams was the better talent but erratic and Barker was the wiley accurate vet. Tupa has more leg strength but I do hope he gets healthy and does not make us regret giving up on groom as I think he will make a squad somewhere after he is cut.

I love Tom Tupa, and think he is a very valuable Redskin, special teams MVP last year if you ask me. But He is getting up there in age, and I think Groom, if he is consistent as they are trying to make him out to be, would happily sign a multi-year deal for the league minimum or close to it.

As for Spinner, I think that he will probably be our #3 QB next year simply because somebody's got (Ramsey/Brunell) to go and I think Gibbs will want 3 familiar faces to coach next year. If the other two went down, though, Gibbs and the Redskins might have an Any Given Sunday type-season in 2006

A friend of mine once said "If you go through two, there's already something wrong."
