Well he did say "I'm sure even Mark would tell you he'd like to make some plays there that he didn't. Mark's day was inconsistent"

I didn't even hear him mention Todd Collins at all

He didnt mention TC by name but he did say they wont go to JC so that means TC is next in line if the change is made.

I didn't get that at all from the presser. I got the impression he was saying he's not making a change, period. He didn't say or insinuate anything about changing QBs.

I didn't get that impression. A question was specifically asked about Campbell. And Gibbs said they love Campbell, talk with him every day, know that at some point this will be his gig but right now they don't think it's the best answer to make a change at QB unless Mark's sore in practice.

Green and Brunell are the same damn player. One just has a concussion. And the other throws with his left hand. But not in a Jake Plummer sort of way.

Interesting thought, but I don't think Rypien could run as well as Campbell. We need some bootlegs built in for him.
