New Bandwagon - Start Campbell?

Now, granted, Roethlisberger is the exception, not the rule. I still don't see it being much worse than it is.

I didn't make it to any of the preseason games, but can anyone comment on Campbell's ability? I remember him well from college, but he seemed to have incredibly limited play time this preseason.

The only game I can remember was the last preseason and he threw several int's but I think he played fairly well in the first two. I think if Brunell does not put us in the win colum after about five games I'd say get Campbell in.

I totally Agree!! as do the twenty or so guys that watch the redskins games at spectators sports bar in Kent Wa, all that came out of the mouth of one of the guys last sunday was Jason Campbell!!! Let the kid do what he was drafted to do we all know Ramsey cant get it done!!! and as for Brunell if he gets racked just once he,s done. so i will repeat!! in the words of my fellow redskin Brian!!( JASON CAMPBELL!!!)

[PSUSkinsFan21]

Absolutely not......for all of the reasons I said we shouldn't have drafted him to begin with........he just isn't capable of grasping an NFL offense (yet / maybe ever). Count me in as one person who will never be on this bandwagon (and yes, I still hope I'm wrong about him).

Don't give up hope!!! I don't agree with the change either, but I do know that Gibbs knows football and the team he is coaching a hell of alot better than any of us.

That's what I don't get either. I mean it's one thing to say you disagree with the decision to bench Ramsey. That he deserves to stay on as the starter. But I don't really follow the logic of Gibbs is a backstabbing liar and now the season is over and now there is no way the Redskins can be any good. They just suck. End of story.

Put the rookie in! J. Campbell would do no worse than Brunell. I'm ordering my No. 17 jersey this week.

As George Allen said, "The future is now!"

[skin4Life28]

Been on this bandwagon since his name was called in the draft.

[RedskinRat]

I want the best QB to start. At the moment that's Brunell, soon it'll be Campbell. Personally I'd love to see Campbell start.

This is one of the many reasons I'm not a HC, that and I make rookies cry.

I don't care who starts, I just wanna win.

look at the game by game, he had a lot of games where he threw a total of 11 times too.

But until then, all these threads about starting Campbell and Ramsey getting the shaft should come to an end until he has actually killed the teams chances.

you mean like after the 1-4 start he gave us last year? the reason is his track record isn't great :/

If Jason Campbell is Ben Roethlisberger....put him on the field! But "Big Ben" is something else though...Campbell needs time.

Ideally, you like to DEVELOP your rookie QBs, not toss them in the fire for short-term gain. Maybe we'll get to the point this year where we've got nothing to lose by going to the rook, but I don't think we're there yet.

My guess is Brunnell gets a lot of rope by which to hang himslef, but if he's hurt, it's back to PR. Some of this switch is designed to light a fire under PR, and to convince him, a la Rypien, that he CANNOT turn the ball over. Maybe it'll work, and we'll see an improved Ramsey yet this year.

Bring Campbell along right--rememeber: PRs development has been rushed, and it's messed him up, IMO.

If Gibbs wants efficiency and turnover free play from his QB, a rookie QB is not the way to go.

That's the thing. Ramsey is far from being a rookie. Campbell gets a free pass because he is. You have to feel more comfortable with Brunell at the helm because he's not going to turn it over as Ramsey has. I'm for Brunell starting this game even if Ramsey hadn't gotten clothesline and won the game being the starter throughout the opener. We can beat DAL (possibly without scoring a TD) if we don't have a costly turnover. TDs will come and the Ws will keep coming if we do just that.
