Funny how just a little wording change can make a huge difference in your perspective. I, like many Dolfans, was derpressed to read this in Armando Salguero's latest Herald article:
The Redskins coach made it clear to the Jaguars quarterback he would be the starter and there would be no quarterback controversy if he came to Washington, according to an NFL source.
That seemingly removes a significant obstacle keeping Brunell from balking at going to Washington in a trade. It also decreases the Dolphins' chances of landing Brunell as their starting quarterback for 2004.
Redskins have edge on Brunell
Bummer, eh?
But look at how the Washington Post characterizes that same conversation:
Washington Coach Joe Gibbs met with Brunell in the Jacksonville area Monday night and gave him assurances that he would at least compete for the starting job, according to a source close to Brunell.
Redskins officials and Brunell's representatives described the get-together in positive terms. According to a source close to Brunell, a significant hurdle was cleared when the quarterback was told by Gibbs he would have a chance to be the starter.
Ramsey upset
If Brunell came to the Dolphins (for anything less than their #20 pick, mind you), he would not only be guaranteed the starting job, but possibly a mayoral position when he retires.
Bottom line? There's a HUGE difference between "you'll be the starter" and "you'll at least have a chance to be the starter."
Which source is right? Or if it's the same source, who QUOTED the source correctly? It could be a big deal when this big deal goes down.
