Who starts at QB?

At some point, you had to figure that tougher, playoff bound defenses were bound to exploit those weaknesses. And yes, Mark Brunell on the whole seemed to slightly burn out.

Ideally, Jason Campbell has to really light it up for the upcoming preseason. He'll make it a whole lot easier on all of us if he simply takes charge, and shows the coaching staff that there's no reason not to start him.

Except for the Tampa Bay game, the slump in the passing game began after the San Francisco game and it was certainly not all Mark Brunell's fault. However, his penchant for flushing quickly from the pocket to roll left and throw short made it easy on the defenders. Mark did that in Jacksonville for years but back then he was a real threat to run the football.

I agree that Jason Campbell is the key to our fortunes next season. He's going to have a better system and more weapons to work with than Big Ben has at Pittsburgh. If he's the real deal, he has to start.
