How Will Campbell Be Handled?

I agree with you here. An injured Brunell is no good.

You agree with me? Now I'll have to go back and check to see where I've gone wrong. [kidding]

In my opinion the reasons are clear. Thrash and Jacobs suck, plain and simple. Neither have great straight line top-speed, and neither are particularly agile coming in and out of cuts.

You mean Thrash, Jacobs, and Patten... none of the three were able to get open for Mark. Well, I saw another possible answer: Mark was hustling out of the pocket to roll left after one or two reads.

And since we're weighing costs and benefits, what is the cost of giving practice snaps to Campbell? It costs Brunell valuable practice reps with an offensive coordinator he's never worked with before.

There's going to be plenty of time for both QBs in training camp. Campbell's practice snaps would increase as his playing time increased. At the end of last season, Brunell wasn't practicing until Thursday or Friday because of injuries.

I understand your objection. I just don't think it would be as much of a problem as you do.
