Sorry, you don't put JC in in this situation. Look, you've just seen this team get rattled against our division foes and lose the first game with a heartbreak field goal. You let your starters who have struggled, i.e. MB, stay in and savor this win. If we're up 42-0, I can see putting the back up in...which would be Todd Collins since Campbell is #3.

[GoSkins!]

Brunnel should be benched for going 0 for 1 on his last pass.

LoL i know!! Nothing is ever good enough...we are Redskins fans we arent used to not having something to Bitch about so we must create it for this week!

Just an observation here. Under Coach Gibbs QBs coming out of the college draft ride the pine for three years (unless extraordinary circumstances require otherwise ... the starting QB has his leg broken.)

There is little happening this year to change his philosophy. I understand that some fans are not comforatable with that, but that's life on Coach Gibbs team. Put on your big boy pants and deal with it.

Great philosophy. So that means Campbell sits again next season, which could possibly be Gibbs last season, and is still basically a rookie the following season(his fourth). The new coach installs a new system, and Campbell, never getting any actual game experience, doesn't pick it up right away. The new coach brings in some other overpaid reject quarterback from another team, and the majority of this forums membership claims the Campbell hasn't shown anything and was never Coach Asshat's guy anyway. He's cut or traded the following season.

I know a lot of people like to think that Gibbs' present tenure as head coach will be exactly like the last one, but he started this new tenure at 62, not 43. He's having health problem because of the time he puts into coaching. He'll coach this season, possibly next season, and that'll be it, unless something drastic happens. Campbell needs to show whether or not he's a viable starter while Gibbs is still in charge, or there's a good chance he'll be castoff before even getting a chance.

First of all, I believe keeping Saunders on board may be possible, so Campbell doesn't learn a new system necessarily. Secondly, Campbell has gained valuable NFL experience (ie playing in 3 pre-seasons) and will be much better than the Jason Campbell fresh out the box. If he is cut/ traded in the final season, it means Campbell was a bad move. Not every draft pick pans out. Not every player reaches his "potential".

I think handling Campbell the proven most effective way isn't a "Bad Philosophy". Quarterbacks starting right out the gate RARELY accomplish anything. I would like to see the best quarterback on our team play, and regardless of any long term plans, Mark Brunell is "our guy" at the moment. This is not a re-building year, this is not a "work in progress". This is a superbowl run and the best players should be playing.

I agree. Well put.

[hooskins]

I think brunell gets off by short passes, it is the only logical explaination.

[MTK]

Alright enough with the all caps.

Bringing Campbell in to hand the ball off doesn't accomplish anything.

[NM Redskin]

Campbell wouldve got 23 straight!

[That Guy]

3 incomplete passes? time for a benching.

still, before the brunell love goes all out, let's wait till we see how he does in jacksonville. I personally wanted to wait to see houston before screaming for a benching, and he proved he's good against a crap team and the coaches finally got a handle on a scheme (versus random play calling).

now that they're on track with the basics, let's see how they expand the offense to deal with a great D.

there is 2 things that coach gibbs is a master at. the first is game planning, finding the other teams weakness. and the other is adjustments, coming up with new ways once the others dont work. ill take coach gibbs over jack del rio, anyday( and twice on sunday) but for this to be effective, the game must be close
