Haha. I love this guy.

No seriously, if someone compared it to the force, it would have slightly more credibility in my mind than it does now with it's assumed properties and effects.

When you are 3 - 6, it's any port in a storm. People are looking for something to latch on to.

Brunell would have been 34-35 for 479 and 5 TDs.

Yes, talking out of your ass does waste time.

Campbell did provide a spark, and I really liked what I saw of him. good move for the QB switch. Definately a bright spot in a VERY DARK season. However, in spite of it, we did not win the game. Because................neither Campbell, nor Brunell play D

Well put. That really sums it up.

i thought jason did really well for himself on his first start he's gonna be a good one...now the question is does the redskins organization have the patience to let him mature into a fully well rounded starter?

GTripp, I dont think the move to Campbell was about "fixing" something. It was about putting the TEAM in the hands of a guy that Gibbs handpicked to be the QB. Mark Brunell was playing just good enought to keep his job. Gibbs knows that MB is nearing the end of his career and that this team isn't the SB contender that we all thought they would be. I also think that he realized that this offense takes a very long time to master and that Jason Campbell's time learing the offense would be better served if he was actually playing instead of charting plays on the sideline. MB had good stats, but we are not winning so staying with a guy you know isn't gonna be around much longer is stupid.

Good points, and I think this one i've quoted states exactly why a change was the right decision.

I really respect your opinion, so I'd like to ask you whether or not you think we are a better team than we were 5 weeks ago.

I dont think we are better right now. But I think we will be better at the end of the season. 5 weeks ago this team had hope and alot less injuries.

Yeah, I'd agree that our offense will improve. I've also seen a projection that our D will improve drastically (I fail to see it, but its the same system that said the Raiders and Chiefs would have top 10 Ds this year...and honestly, who saw that one). So from here on out, I believe we win more than we lose and finish up 4-2.

But right now after this Buc's loss, I don't think we are any better of a team than we were after the Titans loss. I'm sure SOMEONE thinks we are, and I would like to hear why.

"spark" in this regard, is simply hope. not only were we losing, but we were losing the exact same way every time. bad defense, and a non-scoring offense. everyone on BOTH teams knew what to expect, and it was simply becoming rote on how'd we lose. Brunell's limitations as a QB were a secret to no one, including our own WRs.

the prospect of Jason Campbell gave everyone on this offense hope that the throw Brunell couldn't or wouldn't throw, could now be made. Al Saunders included, and he even said he'd change the offense to accomodate it. an ATTEMPT to fix something that regardless of your rather meaningless stats, was clearly not good enough, is a spark to this consistently beaten offense.

you can dismiss my terms all you want, i've heard "luck" on tv as well, and i've also heard "momentum". do you think that exists? even though FO doesn't keep track of it, do you think things like emotion, frustration, and momentum matter in a football game? you obviously think luck does, so why not hope?

And how has this changed with Campbell? If he didn't provide this spark, thats one thing. But if he did, how did no one around him played any better?

now you're just being circular. i've already stated Cooley, Thrash (Yoder too) stayed involved in those broken plays in new hopes that Campbell would make the tough throw after the play was busted. tough throws Brunell hasn't made all season.
