Can We Bench Brunell Now

I say put in Campbell against Indy, and tell him not to be afraid to throw deep. He surely has the arm to do it, and what do you have to lose when our season is slowly slipping down the gutter. Even if Campbell over throws on some passes, throwing deep will make the defence actually respect the pass, and allow CP to break some good-sized runs for us.

Exactly!
Watch the KC teams of the past couple years, screen passes were not the game, you can't tell me it's Saunders. The problem is Brunell not having the balls to open up the field. He is not embracing Saunders system.
At this point I am hoping Brunell hurts himself enough to get out of a couple games and let Jason Campbell run the show and see what changes occur. If Brunell doesn't get hurt, it's hard to imagine Gibbs giving up on his qb.
