gibbs has named brunell the starter on the bases of he knows how he plays and reacts to situations. plus what matty said about gibbs staying with a qb to the end is soo true and this is no different.

anyway the point is that byron will not come here b/c of campbell. campbell has a leg up on any qb that washington would bring in just for the fact that he knows the offense. the only qb i could see washington bringing in would be trent green. i say that b/c his team is doing good without him and he and saunders know each other. maybe saunders would want him back?

Gibbs has said he could start if given the week to be coached up. If something happens during the game then Collins will come in. Again it doesnt sound like somebody who's ready to play.

I find it really funny that MB and "hot hand" can even be mentioned in the same sentence.

I don't want Leftwich. Not just because of Campbell either. Byron's a great athlete but he's fragile! He's ALWAYS getting hurt.

This is the one post on this thread I agree completely with.

Let's see...

We're finally ready to begin the Campbell era after YEARS of preparation and training for the day...and we bench Campbell for a veteran QB who doesn't know the system and can't complete a full season.

Campbell's confidence AND trusting of the coaching staff would be crushed, although he DOES seem like the kind of guy who would keep it to himself for the team's sake. Leftwich starts the season and gets hurt. Campbell replaces him...NOT as the QB of the future, but as the guy they don't really want to play (in his mind).

GREAT PLAN.

I wouldn't characterize Leftwich as a great athlete, he's a tall, accurate passer in the mold of a young Drew Bledsoe. He has far less mobility than even Brunell at this stage, so you had better resurrect the old Hogs if you're planning on putting a statue behind center. Campbell brings far more to the table in terms of raw athleticism. I say give the kid a chance before bringing in yet another vet. Gibbs's handling of the QB situation since his return leaves ALOT to be desired.

explained it earlier. he fades down the stretch. last year in the first 8 starts he had two 320+ passing games and 5 220+ passing games... the next 8 he never threw over 200 and was under 160 in 6 games.

I know MB is having his best season (stats-wise) as a pro. That said the only stat that counts is the record and this team is down low in that stat. Most of MBs stats are padded dink passes (especially from the Hou game).

[dall-assblows]

oh yea? he is my mvp candidate.

i keeed again

sorry, guess i missed the sarcasm amongst my hate-mongering.

F it let ARE start a QB next year. Campbell is pretty fast maybe he can be a receiver.

Everybody’s situation is a little bit different. We think Jason (Campbell) is ready to play right now. We think he could win football games right now. It just so happens that Mark’s (Brunell) the starter. - Joe Gibbs 10/11/2006

I think that Joe Gibbs is afraid of possible turnovers with Campbell. Maybe he feels the experience of a veteran who does not take chances with the ball gives the team the best chance to win. Look at the turnover ratio of all teams through 8 games this year. Only two teams with a minus ratio have winning records (Seattle and New Orleans). Arizona is the only exception with a losing record and a plus ratio.

Gibbs doesn’t want Campbell to have to learn to read defenses under pressure if he can help it. It is obvious that the problem with the team is not all the quarterback position. As long as Brunell is not the sole reason for losing I don’t think we will see Campbell playing soon. (unless the season is lost)

As for Leftwich, if they will take Achuletta for him he would be a good back up for Campbell next year. If they want anything more than that, forget it !

[BrunellMVP?]

there is no way a first rounder would wait 2-3 from now to get an opportunity to play. I doubt young JC will be will ing to not start next year...if he comes into camp next year without it being his job to lose, i think he demands to be traded.
i would.

[dmek25]

if campbell doesnt start next year, chances are he cant play in this league. and no way to leftwich. always hurt

[mheisig]

I like it. Another high-priced signing of an injury prone, inconsistent QB. He'd fit right in.
