He's pretty good wouldn't you say?

Not on the schedule for the foreseeable future...so you can find something else to bitch about

The only thing I believe we can hang our hats on this up coming season is our defense, I wouldn't be surprised to see a repeat of the 2005 season when the defense carried this team to the playoffs and hid a lot of our lack offensive ability. Yes we are more talented on offense this year but will it really make a big difference? Gibbs has put all his eggs in 1 basket in Campbell, if he's not the goods we are a last place team.

I think whether we have legitimate issues on the offensive line really remains to be seen. Unless Chris Samuels has completely fallen apart and Pete Kendall is a bust, then I would agree. But that scenerio doesn't exist. Concern, yes. Issues, no. We'll be fine on the offensive line.

Certainly Gibbs is putting all of his eggs in one basket with Campbell, but what coach isn't with their first string quarterback? Same could be said of Indy, the Pats, Bengals, ummm Dallas....and the list goes on and on. Hell, Cleveland is flipping coins from one week to the next to figure out who their quarterback is! Talk about finishing last, now that's a classic example.

If we live or die with Jason Campbell, I'm fine with that. As long as we do more living than dying.

Seriously, isn't this exactly what we've wanted since the beginning of last season?? The switch and full commitment to the future in Jason Campbell??!! Now it's hear and people are still griping. I don't get it.

There will be griping until there are wins. As good as Jason looked last year, he didn't win. I know he didn't have a defense to play with and he did look good but there are always going to be doubters when your team goes 5-11 the year before.

It's about not having anything behind Campbell, not every teams season is shot if the starter goes down, especially on a team with a coach who doesn't ask the QB to win the game just don't lose it, we know that doesn't work from watching Brunell for 3 years, Campbell is going to have to win games but not in the manor of a Peyton Manning etc. but he will have to make play's which Brunell has proven he can't. We have no one who can play a legitimate backup role, we should already have a young, up and coming QB who is learning this system, not a has been, and a never was. If Campbell goes down it's over, and we don't know even if he stays healthy if he has what it takes to win in the NFL? I believe everyone is elated that Brunell is on the bench and Campbell is starting but we have no contingency plan if he goes down. Gibbs IMO has failed miserably on building depth at the most important position on the field, the QB.
