Sacrifice the Season

SKINS73 · 09-16-2006, 10:04 AM

If Jason Campbell is indeed our future why not just start playing him now? The longer we avoid starting him the longer his development will take. I think not winning is not an option for Snyder even if it would pay huge dividends down the line. Would you guys be ok seeing the Redskins have a losing season if it meant that our "quarterback of the future" was learning the game?

This is a playoff caliber team and Brunell is our best option right now. Campbell will start at some point this season but that time is not now. I look for him week 4 vs Jacksonville. If the Dallas game doesn't go well than maybe he 'backs up' Brunell during the Texans game.

I feel Gibbs picked his QB when he moved us up in the draft to get Campbell.

If Brunell continues to play like he is then set him down and let's get going with Jason is my opinion.

I dont think it will be Brunell's poor play that will make the skins switch QB's. I just think Gibbs will see that we need MORE from the qb position and Campbell is supposed to be 'the guy'. Even if Brunell plays 'mistake free' football, that may not be enough to win this year. The other teams in this division are stacked on O, and we will need to score alot of points. If we make it to our bye week and haven't seen Campbell yet and we have a .500 record or less, then I would start to worry about why JC isn't ready yet. Collins is NOT the answer and playing him does nothing for us.

I don't think so either. I believe Saunders is going to bring in another qb or draft one in this upcoming draft. Booty or Quinn is my best someone who can pick up this offense quickly and that can make all the throws. I would not be surprise if he tries to trade for Green next season.

Say it ain't so! I can't handle the QB shuffles anymore.

i totally agree with saunders picking a new qb next year, we wont have the pick for a quinn or a booty but i would not be surprised if we go after a young talented starter now, like david carr they cant afford another screw up in the draft so i think they pick quinn

I think we or Saunders can't write Campbell off until he starts at least a couple of games.

Hopefully you'll be staying downtown because they're a lot of good places to eat on 2nd street. Cafe Fresco is the best and it's smoke free if you're a non smoker.

Just FYI even if we do end up with the #1 pick its going to the Broncos, remember? We'll end up with whatever pick they have if we finish with a worse record than they do, and they'll end up with ours. Id already be gravely dissapointed from how the season would have gone, but how much would it sting to drop from #1 to like #25 for TJ Duckett?

Well they just signed Carr to a new extension when Kubiak took over in Houston.

And for anyone to have a shot at Quinn in the next draft, they better have a worse record than Oakland.
