I don't understand why people always want to subtract plays out, I read an article this morning about how Portis ran 22 times for 46 yards (minus the 38 yard TD run). Why is it ok to analyze a performance by subtracting out big plays?? Why do they count any less?

Rant over.
I understand and respect your point. But the bottom line is we are playing with a below average NFL QB. He is the worst QB in the division and is not a Super Bowl QB. That is the goal when you bring in a zillion free gaents every year. When you have a young talent like Campbell who has better physical skills then people are going to bitch an moan until he gets his chance.

OK, you're going to have to stand in the 'Mr. Negative' corner with me and Schneed.

all true.

i'm one of the most vocal Brunell critics here, but it was good to see at least his mind was in the right place this game (downfield) even if every other part of his 70yr old body wasn't.

while Jason Campbell's physical abilities are in another realm compared to Brunell's (the medieval realm), the very sad, very scary fact revealed earlier this week that Jason hasn't practiced much with the first team now has me question whether he should be in there NOW.

Re: Give Props to Brunell

At 2-5 I think Gibbs should have started Campbell.

At some point we have to look to the future, sooner rather than later.

Sorry, you can only change it to 'Sub-Par'.

i think Gibbs should have started Campbell in the PREseason and given him all the first team snaps then, and now in the regular season. alas, neither happened and here we are.

not sure if it will make you feel better, but we're really only one game away from Campbell starting. the season will be pretty much over then though.

the difference between Good and Sub-Par would have been an INT.

Re: Give Props to Brunell

I think the Brunell bashing makes the bashes look stupid and biased. This is a football team and it takes a TEAM to win and a TEAM to lose. You all need to get the f over it and accept that Brunell is OUR QB, like it or not, and SHUT UP!

Re: Give Props to Brunell

I'm with you hess.

Can't we just let the bashing rest for one week? That was a great win, let's just sit back and enjoy it for a moment.

Campbell is going to be in there soon enough and the haters will finally have their wish, and probably move on to complaining about something else.
