Should we start a new quarterback?

[Daseal]

m so tired of skins fans always calling for the backup quarterback to come in. I guess the grass is always greener.

Maybe I missed it, but I don't think a majority of the people asking for the switch feel Campbell will be able to give us wins, but we would like to see what we have as our first round pick. It's more conceding that the season is over.

I wouldn't concede that yet. We are 2 games out of first place in the NFC East, with 5 to go. 2 of those 5 are against the two division leaders. So we're still in the hunt, despite the fact that the team looks like it has no intestinal fortitude at the end of games.

I think we're a long shot but I don't want to see Campbell until we're mathematically eliminated. Even then I'm not sure it makes sense since Brunell will probably start for us next year too.

Problem is, let's say Campbell gets thrown in there this season to go out and play, and he makes rookie mistakes and is pretty much horrible, then people will be complaining about how Jason Campbell is a dud. Even if we decide to start him next year, fans would still say that about him more than likely. I do think it's good for a player to get experience on the field - I feel that is ultimately the only way of becoming a true NFL star. However, I think he is getting alot of useful experience by being on the sidelines and watching the stragedies develop and getting the mental aspects of the game embedded in his mind. I think that will make his "hands on" experience easier to cope with once he's out there on the field. I realize QBs like Ben and Eli have appeared to be light years ahead of their development, but I also believe that doesn't happen with every young player.

What are you talking about? We're among the most patient fans in the league with quarterback development.
