Wow, there's a lot of PMS in this thread.

First off, I would "think" that many of us have tempered expectations of what Campbell is going to do. He could totally light it up, but I think many of us aren't expecting that much. It's the fact that we KNEW Brunell wasn't going to get any better. Campbell could honestly come in and do MUCH worse, but at least we know that we've seen all we could see from Brunell.

If we're looking for a new whipping boy, we of course can look at the defense. This week is a great week to help a sputtering defense. Maybe GW can remember why he used to blitz and maybe, just maybe, do that a bit on Sunday.

A new quarterback can inject a lot into a team. Even if the defense screws the pooch again, it's possible Campbell can outshoot the Bucs, something we couldn't expect Mark Brunell to do. Also, when you look around the league, you look at these young QBs.

They spread the ball around.

You can look at any aging QB in the league and just see that you can't teach old dogs new tricks. Brunell, thanks for the Monday Night Miracle, but it's time to move on.
