I agree, I really don't have much faith in the abilty of Campbell as I have always felt it was a mistake to give up so much for a 1 year wonder college QB, but at least I know Campbell has a fighting chance to prove me wrong and I hope he does. As for Brunell? Well Matty you know there is a great big I told you so on the near horizon. Say what you want [and you know I never have a problem creating another Ramsey debate
] but who honestly would have been the better choice at the start of the season? Campbell wasen't ready to lead what we all thought was a playoff team, and Collins is a joke, and we can all see what Brunell really brings to the table, any team with a well coached defense can shut him down as we saw today, we saw a not overly talented defense, but a well coached defense just make Brunell look like a rookie.
But GM Joe refuses to admit that he has no clue when it comes to talent evaluation, the scary part though is he can't even evaluate established NFL talent. And so we wait and watch as GM Joe continues to try and drive a square peg through a round hole in Brunell to justify the very first move he made as coach, is Ramsey the second coming of Peyton Manning? Of coarse not, is he better than Pennnington? No. But he's probably every bit as good as Eli Manning especially if given a support group around him, [and with playing time he could have evolved into a much better QB] and he's better than anything we have right now. Not that it really matters, but we need a real QB regardless of who it may be and we don't have one.
Here's the biggest problem with what Gibbs has done so far, as I said when we drafted Campbell, you do not give up what we gave up to sit him on the bench for 2 or maybe 3 years, what happens if Campbell doesn't see the field until next season and then we spend another year finding out he can't play? Or we find out he needs 3 years of playing time to really come of age? That's a real problem! Maybe we get lucky and he steps in and we never look back, but if he can't beat out Brunell at this point in both of thier careers than we just have problems upon problems.
And before we start calling Saunders out lets remember he's a proven genious at O-coordinator everywhere he's been, so what is wrong with this picture? I will give you a hint it starts with B and ends with runell!
