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

Well, at least you sir are prepared to suffer now.

Eventually the move was going to be made, and although now probably wasnt the best week for it, Gibbs to an extent probably folded under the pressure from the fans on this one. In the end...it probably won't matter whether the move was made this week or next week. But that doesn't mean it was a good time for it.

Campbell will likely struggle in all 7 of his starts this season. We won't move the ball at all before CP comes back. It's gonna get real ugly, real fast.

But in the end, Campbell will improve over the offseason and lets see if we cant make a push in 2007.

Here's to a new era and hail to the redskins!

We're prepared to suffer now because we've been suffering for quite some time.

"He won't move the ball at all before CP comes back." I think those words might haunt you. I think that unlike Brunell, he'll throw a lot of picks, but he'll also actually move the ball.

I gotta disagree. Portis is awesome for sure, but Betts is a starting caliber running back, and although Rock doesn't play much, he's always pretty darn good when he's in on offense. And maybe now we'll see why we traded (yet again) a high draft pick for Duckett.

And with the speed we have at receiver, we need an arm like JC's to get vertical with passing game.

Excuse me? It's "gonna get" ugly? What do you think we've been watching?

It is referring to the offense. We had a running game, a passing game, and no turnovers. Now we have no CP, no MB, and an inexpierenced QB.

Thus uglyness. On both sides of the ball. Like the Phili game, except vs a team thats not nearly as good.

We had a passing game? The 22nd ranked passing game (13 of 16 in the NFC) that averaged 188 yards per game, and produced 8 TDs in 9 games and 1 TD in 4 NFC east games.

Finally. Something to give us hope for the future. Let's hope he brings the answers we all want.

[GMScud]

You forgot Joe Gibbs, Dan Snyder, Vinny Cerrato, Brandon Lloyd.....

[Crat92]

Let the church say AMEN!

[Lady Brave]

I'm happy that Campbell is finally getting his shot. I think Brunell did the best he could, but his time is over. Brunell is a professional and a stand up guy and I believe he'll support Campbell.

I hope this will be a motivator for the team as well. It seems like we've been in slow motion with no clear direction and a sorely lacking sense of identity. I'm ready for us to move forward and finally end all the drama. Either way, it will be interesting watching the rest of season just to see how the kid is coming along.

GTripp,

I love your resolve to prove us wrong and back up your undying support of Brunell, but I cannot believe that you don't think Brunell was A problem. Apparently Gibbs agrees with us and I'll just leave it at that.

I agree with his basic point which is we have alot of problems right now that go beyond the QB position. Campbell is not the magic pill, so if anyone really thinks that they may be in for a rude awakening come Sunday.

He absolutely was a problem...yesterday. AND against Dallas week 2. Horrible games those days. What was the common link? Clinton Portis didn't play in the 2nd half of either game.

It's not an excuse, just correlation.

So if Campbell is missing CP, why would I expect him to fare any better?

[Riggo44]

It's about time! Thank you God, Brunell has been driving me crazy for 3 yr's!

[SmootSmack]

GTripp has been nothing if not persistent. And he's been right in many cases and wrong in others. He's right that it's not all Brunell's fault but he does have to take a lot of blame.

But I really hope we don't just keep talking about him, or Ramsey, or Shuler, or Humphries, etc. I'd love it if we can just focus on Campbell and his performance now. I mean how long have we been waiting just for the chance to talk about his on-field performance? Well, now we finally have that chance
