We're now taking nominations.

lord knows we'll find something...

at this rate i guarantee it'll be drafting a new QB if JC sucks.

we should just hire an actual whipping boy...8 million for 4 years, 10 million signing bonus

BrunellMVP? · 11-13-2006, 10:29 PM

toss a dart at the line up...
and nobody has forgotten the woefull Defense..how can you...with every 3rd and long that we surrender...or loss...

looks like the next whipping boy is his blood relative....GTripp

time to change your sig paintrain. As for the new scapegoat, I blame Jason Campbell. That guy doesn't have his priorities straight.

PFunk26 · 11-14-2006, 12:21 AM

I confess to bagging on Brunell but he had my support for the most part, with campbell all Im really hoping for is some sort of return on our investment and making the games be a little more fun to watch. If he throws some picks throwing it down field so be it, as long as it's going downfield. This season has been painful to watch with so few highlights that we as fans need something..hopefully this is it.

PFunk26 · 11-14-2006, 12:22 AM

oh yeah and my vote is we blame man boobs

That Guy · 11-14-2006, 02:56 AM

vinny and saunders are still around, so there's no need for nominations yet

the oline and defense are options, but it's harder to find a whipping boy when no one is looking much worse than the rest. maybe carlos "can't catch, can't cover" rogers?

seriously though, it should calm down now that the change has been made and the team is looking more towards 2007 than 2006.

Jason Campbell's GONNA' SUCK and it's Gibbs, fantasy land, no talent, draft pick tradin' fault, for paying ridiculous contracts for lousy FA's when the real talent is free!

After the embarrassment and humiliation we all have felt at work, in the mall, and in our on homes with Redskins haters when deserve to be pissed off at what we have seen this year. It was almost a repeat of the 2000 season when we ushered in Deion, Bruce, Mark Carrier and any other washed up player. Just when we have a good chemistry and identity, someone we drop Omar Stoutmire, Ryan Clark, Walt Harris and wonder why the defense is shit. I mean none of these guys are shut down corners but hell they never gave up this kind of yardage. I'm complaining about Greg Williams and his inability to correct the problem that this the secondary starting with Archuleta.

Hog1 · 11-14-2006, 08:42 AM

Good or bad, coach gets the praise, or blame. It's hard for me to believe,that those guys would have that kind impact in any way. Your not talking about ST, or Griff. Who know's?

TheMalcolmConnection · 11-14-2006, 09:06 AM

Wow, there's a lot of PMS in this thread.

First off, I would "think" that many of us have tempered expectations of what Campbell is going to do. He could totally light it up, but I think many of us aren't expecting that much. It's the fact that we KNEW Brunell wasn't going to get any better. Campbell could honestly come in and do MUCH worse, but at least we know that we've seen all we could see from Brunell.

If we're looking for a new whipping boy, we of course can look at the defense. This week is a great week to help a sputtering defense. Maybe GW can remember why he used to blitz and maybe, just maybe, do that a bit on Sunday.

A new quarterback can inject a lot into a team. Even if the defense screws the pooch again, it's possible Campbell can outshoot the Bucs, something we couldn't expect Mark Brunell to do. Also, when you look around the league, you look at these young QBs.

They spread the ball around.

You can look at any aging QB in the league and just see that you can't teach old dogs new tricks. Brunell, thanks for the Monday Night Miracle, but it's time to move on.

Hog1 · 11-14-2006, 09:19 AM

Holy Sh.., I would stroke out if JC comes in Firing like Elway. I'll always have my dreams

Skinsfanatic · 11-14-2006, 09:32 AM

For all of the complaining about the D, doesn't it seem like an offensive improvement (even a small one, like a touchdown a game in division games) would allow the defense to attempt more pressure and less 10 yard cushions.
