Excited to see what JC has to offer. Now we need to give Rocky a chance.

It's one week too early...but I guess its better than one week too late.

nope.

one week too early to call it quits for the season....but still time to try and salvage it. Gibbs obviously now feels JC offers a better chance to win than your boy.

If that's true...then hes doing it out of desperation. If its a move out of desperation, the season REALLY is over.

I really wanted to stick it to Tampa. Oh well, sacrifices made for the learning curve.

starting a QB who's never had a regular season snap? absolutely it's out of desperation. desperation your boy was a major part of.

With all due respect...you sir are Delooooooosional (best Lewis Black imitation) if you thought MB was going to "stick it" to Tampa.

The season was also over in August when it was obvious that our offense couldn't learn the playbook in the preseason and the defense starting looking like swiss cheese. BTW, just because no one agrees with you doesn't mean you have to turn into a sourpuss and start poopin' on everyone else faint glimmer of hope that this year can turn into something positive.

Just as you desperately clung to any remote iota of positive play from MB all season, I expect you to give JC the same benefit of the doubt.

Except to this day it would be just as deloooooooosional to think that we'd be any better than 2-7 with Campbell at QB. The games we lost we didn't lose because of the QB position, and the Jacksonville game we won because of it.

You can't solve all your teams problems with a QB change, espicially when the QB wasn't the issue.

Here's a list of guys who have had worse seasons than MB:

Jon Jansen
Al Saunders
Derrick Dockery
Chris Cooley (my favorite Redskin)
Christian Fauria
Gregg Williams
Adam Archuleta
Sean Taylor
Carlos Rogers (I think he will improve drastically in the 2nd half of the year)
Warrick Holdman
Lemar Marshall (my 2nd favorite Redskin)
Marcus Washington
Andre Carter
Phillip Daniels

Good, now that we have Brunell out of the way, what are we going to do with those guys? And who is going to be Campbell's replacement when he doesnt throw 4 TDs this week?

According to advanced statistics Brunell is personally responsible for 36.6 points this season (4.1 DPAR/G) (above replacement, or a guy responsible for exactly 0, and yes you can be below replacement level). Until further proof, Campbell would fall at the replacement QB range (0 DPAR/G). In his prime, Campbell is projected to produce 6.1 DPAR/G. That means Campbell at his prime would be responsible for 55.0 points this season up until this point. But he's got a ways to go to make his projection so you are almost certainly taking a hit in the present.

So in the present, I would expect our average pts/game to decrease by 4 for the rest of the year, slowly increasing as JC gets expierence.

Just an observation, but with all the screaming for JC, is Gibbs now at fault for making the change?

[GMScud]

He is absolutely NOT at fault for making the switch now. This decision is a few weeks too late if anything. The season is all but lost. How sick will it make all of us if Campbell comes in a provides the spark we've been looking for?? I mean, I'll be ecstatic if he performs well, but sick the change wasn't made earlier. We'll drive ourselves nuts with "what if's" for the remainder of the year and beyond.

[Jamaican'Skin]

I think this is the perfect time to put the kid in. Well done

[RedskinRat]

GTripp0012, another huge positive will be the short week for the Bucs.

They are already depleted, now we need a tough game tonight to wring them dry so Campbell can cut his teeth on a soft team away from home.

I still think the Dallarse game should have been his start. Oh, well.

[itvnetop]

the cuffs are coming off... this will be fun to watch (or at least something to watch)...

[pdid5000]

about f'n time

[JWsleep]

WHOOOO! Just saw the news. About time. Even if he struggles--and remember, even good NFL QBs struggle early (with a few Bradly-like exceptions)--this is the right move, to find out what he's got and to move towards the future!

Oh, AND SBF is back? The worm has turned! GO SKINS! GO JC!
