I am saying that Gibbs may replace Brunell once they are mathematically eliminated. No sooner and he may even let the bible thumper finish the season.

I know this much. Jesus Christ can throw a 25 yard post....

Oh, okay. I was about to have a stroke.

I figured out the answer to the question asked in the thread name. Jason Campbell will become the starting quarterback when he's a 14 year veteran that is declining with age and sucks when injured. That's when Joe Gibbs will think he's ready.

Mooby,

My comment is on your signature. This is Joe's QB. Is he going to get pissed off at himself?

Look, the Redskins are still in the playoff hunt until they lose seven or eight games. Jason Cambell willcome in at that time. Joe Gibbs is not an idiot. Brunnell cannot play defense and offense. They scored three touch downs in the third quarter. We dont have the talent in the secondary. We also dont have alot of talent on the defensive line, and we need a good weakside linbacker. Infact, we may need a better middle linebacker.

Yeah, but Brunell led us to ZERO second-half points until late in the game when it long was over. Campbell could have started out 2-5 and at least had seven games under his belt. Do you think a team playing like we are has any shot at the playoffs?

You are right about they are not playing well, but thats hind site. His time will come, unless we have a miracle.

The saddest thing is that this is a Joe Gibbs-coached team that could only play half a game when the season was on the line. Add in all those personal fouls and unnecssary roughness calls, and there is no difference between the Steve Spurrier days and today.

I don't know, Steve Spurrier had better records up until that last 5-11 season. Today's Redskins will be lucky if they win 4.

Good point, sad but true. The Redskins easily are the biggest disappointment of the NFL season to date.

Saddly your right, during Joe's firsrt go around, I remember how renowned he was for the second half adjustments he would make. Anytime they would be losing, the announcers would comment on how good he was at half-time adjustments and more often-than-not the skins would play more inspired. What happened to that?

completely. i remember thinking anything was possible after halftime back then, when Gibbs had time to think about things and make everything better. that feelings is opposite now, mostly because it's not that we're failing at the adjustments, but that they're aren't any adjustments at all. just more of the 3-out same.

i think the shorter halftimes has alot to do with it, but i also think Joe Gibbs may have been TOO humble in getting Al Saunders and not trusting his offense from last season. the one that got us in the playoffs.

Finally someone else realizes that we are weak at LB. Marshall is not as good as he was last year. Rocky needs some time and Holdman is a joke.

Here is my offseason checklist (yes, the season is officially over).

Sign a real GM and I only want a guy who will tell Napoleon to stick to marketing and tell Joe to stick to coaching.

IMO our draft should be 3 positions only not necessarily in this order. One LB (two if there is a "can't miss"), DL, and OL. That's it.

Free Agency: Sign a veteran QB (maybe Trent Green) to start or compete with Campbell. Sign a Corner maybe a cover safety. The only players they need on offense are linemen. I wouldn't even sign Betts to a big deal. Runningbacks grow on trees. No more big splashes unless it is a high profile corner, only quality depth and plenty of it.

If anyone is interested in a "Burn Brunell Jersey bonfire", let me know.

I've heard about times in Joe Gibbs' first reign when he would raise hell in the locker room at halftime and he wouldn't be afraid to call a player out to make him play better. I think it's time he stops babying the players and benches them when they don't play well. Maybe Joe Gibbs has magical glasses that make Brunell look like an all-pro. I'm just tired of the players getting a free ride.
