From a financial standpoint, doesn't Campbell need to play this year?

If you really care about getting value for a contract, why are you so concerned about getting value for Campbell, while showing no concern for getting value out of Brunell ($42 million contract)? It's not making any sense to me."

Well let me try and straighten this out for ya Schneed. Can you tell me how many snaps Jason Campbell has taken with the starting offense? Answer: None. Im saying that Campbell needs to be allowed to compete with Brunnell, he needs quality snaps with the starting offense and he needs more game time in the preseason. As far as why am I not criticizing Brunnell's contract, well that wasn't the point of the thread now was it? Ive dished out plenty of criticism on that contract before. Im not arguing value for $ spent, Im arguing assessing the value of a guy you gave up 2 first round draft picks for. As for the "Gibbs knows best" argument, you guys really don't need to respond if that's always the comeback argument. I love Gibbs, but to never ever question any of the personnel decisions or coaching decisions is unrealistic.

OK well whatever twisted logic you're using to assess the value you're getting from one player and not another, it's not making any sense to me. But whatever, it's not really the point.

The point is I don't care if Campbell shows us he's worthy of the picks we gave up this year. All I care about is putting the team out there that gives us the best chance to win the Super Bowl. Last time I checked you don't get a ring on your finger for getting great value for your draft picks.

Playing Campbell a lot in the preseason is a great idea. It's also not a new idea by any means. Gibbs has said on several occasions that he plans to do that this summer. But when the games are live, I don't care about finding out what we have in Campbell. I care about winning.
