I hope Brunell is healthy and ready to go for the entire season, but a cursory look at his stats don't tell the whole story of his season. While his rating was solid, and we made it to the playoffs, that rating doesn't take into accounts the 10 fumbles he had last season - of which we lost six. in the first eight games alone, he lost every fumble he had (four). To me a QB fumble in the pocket is more devestating than an interception - it's usually a sin of inaction, rather than a sin of aggression. One is forgivable, the other is harder to stomach.

That being said, I want Campbell to succeed as a Redskin QB. That means putting him in the best position to do so, not throwing him into the deep end to see if he can swim.
