Jason Campbell: when will the switch be made?

[That Guy]

just start him. at this point i'd wait till after indy. if we lose there, it's time to change. with our defense the way it is right now, the playoffs or a magic win streak seem so out of picture it's not even worth worrying about.

[vaoutlaws2006]

if we lose to the colts...look for the change to made during the bye week. I really hope we win. but i am not going to hold my breath.

When was the last time we heard any of Gibbs' players talking trash about each other??

I wouldn't count on it starting anytime soon.

I posted this on another thread but here goes. I'd love for JC to come in and do great things but...

I think the players know if JC is ready and from what i've heard he isn't. For example, Sellars and Lloyd have recently been on the John Riggins show and stated that MB is their guy and if he goes down, they would want Collins insteade of JC. I'm paraphrasing here, but they stated JC is getting better but not ready to start.

If you go back a couple of years alot of nfl scouts though JC was a "project" at best and wasn't worthy of a 1st round pick. Now, alot of scouts are often proven wrong, but the verdict is still up in the air. I just think the players and the coaches will make the right call on this one.

Hey, i'd like to see what JC can do too, but it says alot when the players don't think he's ready to play.

I am going to say this, Jason Campbell is almost half-way through his second year with this team, and considering the price it's time to find out whether he's ready to play or not. Maybe Sellers and Lloyd could be correct in their asessment, but I wouldn't expect them to say anything anti Brunell at this time. If (and I say if) he's not deemed worthy by now then we really made a complete miscalculation in considering drafting him in the first place. Football is not rocket science, and JC is not going to get any better by sitting behind Brunell. The only way he'll get better is to play, and in the minds of many it's time.

Saunders recently said that Campbell is redshirting right now, but that redshirt can come off at any time.

Translation: he's not ready to play but if the season is lost Campbell will get his shot.

So I guess Todd Collins is Ready to play. Wow here comes yet another Michigan QB (not named Tom Brady) that sucks. Let's not play the young back-up, lets play the perineal back-up who has sat the bench his entire career! Yeah, that's brilliant! HAIL from MCUSA!

[Hog1]

It has been the source of much conversation on the Dan Patrick show this pm. DP predicting that if the game goes south, Brunell grabs the pine, with Campbell in relief. I can't see Joe doing that, but I can agree with another poster earlier, in a loss, the skins fans won't let Brunell back on the field in the next home game. It won't be pretty.

[Crat92]

Sure in the hell won't be pretty! We are a proud franchise and losing is something we should not be getting used to! Think of us the Fans, we deserve better! HAIL from MCUSA!

Vince Lombardi once said "winning can be contageous, but unfortunately so can loosing"

If Jason Campbell is the future for us, we need to get him some reps, before the year is done, if we continue to lose. Campbell needs to be patient, we are trying to win a Superbowl, we are not in a rebuilding stage, his time is in the future.

I'm going to interject that old George Allen philosophy, "The Future Is Now" because there's no way this team is going to win the SB. With two more losses we will be in a rebuilding mode.

I think we'll make the switch when the 'Skins are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

I hope everyone is genuinely expecting horrific play when Campbell starts. The guy hasn't taken an NFL regular season snap as far as I know, so he should be expected to falter for some time. Guys like Roethlisberger are not the norm - struggling for a few seasons before getting things together is the norm.

If Brunell looks like shit in the first half this weekend against the Colts D, then Gibbs should put the team in Campbell's hands in the second half. The Colts are without their star Strong Safety and if Brunell can't capitilze on that fact alone, especially with our speedster receiving core, then I will at the point in time, lose all faith in Number 8. I respect Gibbs's committment to veterans, but Jesus Christ man, if Gibbs can't see what going on here, then maybe he should hand the team to Campbell on the field and hand the rest of the shit off to Williams off the field. I am mad as hell with Saunders's play calling as well. There have been multilple times where Brunell will be left with a 3rd and long and what play is run? A mutherphucking screen to Fauria or Cooley or Sellers or the old "trick" draw play to Portis. I have never seen so many three and outs by a team with as much talent as this one. Brunell - - THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE DUDE! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER PRETTY BOY, OR SADDLE UP AND RIDE OFF INTO SOME VIDAL SASSOON COMMERCIALS OR SOMETHING......AGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAIL

if we are going to lose, lets do it in a year when we have our own #1 draft pick
