LOL how many wins did that spectacular Frye/Dilfer platoon work out to?
QB platoons in the pros don't work, look no further than Spurrier's handling of our QB situation in 2003. When was the last time you saw a QB platoon get a team to the Super Bowl?
Playing musical chairs with your QB in the pros usually means a couple of things,
#1 You don't have a true #1 guy
#2 Your team probably stinks
#3 You're battling injuries
We're not the 2005 Browns. We have a team that has serious Super Bowl potential, and you want to take a step back at the QB position now?
When Brunell was brought in it was assumed he would be here for 3 years. Based on the way his contract was structured and considering his age. The 3 year plan for Brunell seems to be working out perfectly as the team has been built up around him to the point now where we seem primed to take a serious shot at winning it all.
Campbell's time will come in 2007 as Brunell will likely be gone after this year. But for right now, you have to take your best shot while the window of opportunity is still open.
