Everybody’s situation is a little bit different. We think Jason (Campbell) is ready to play right now. We think he could win football games right now. It just so happens that Mark’s (Brunell) the starter. - Joe Gibbs 10/11/2006

I think that Joe Gibbs is afraid of possible turnovers with Campbell. Maybe he feels the experience of a veteran who does not take chances with the ball gives the team the best chance to win. Look at the turnover ratio of all teams through 8 games this year. Only two teams with a minus ratio have winning records (Seattle and New Orleans). Arizona is the only exception with a losing record and a plus ratio.

Gibbs doesn’t want Campbell to have to learn to read defenses under pressure if he can help it. It is obvious that the problem with the team is not all the quarterback position. As long as Brunell is not the sole reason for losing I don’t think we will see Campbell playing soon. (unless the season is lost)

As for Leftwich, if they will take Achuletta for him he would be a good back up for Campbell next year. If they want anything more than that, forget it !
