Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

[dmek25]

i dont want anyone to substain any injury. brunell is the starter here, in my opinion, until the redskins are out of the playoff chase. only then should campbell be put in the mix

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I give you my vote of confidence.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I don't want any injury, but honestly, I don't want him to make enough plays next week to stay the starter. He just can't get it done.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

AND he might actually take a chance and throw the ball into some coverage!

[paulskinsfan]

I actually think we could lose to the Texans. I don't WANT to root for an injury, but given Gibbs refusal to make a QB change, I don't really feel like there is another option. If we can't go to the SB with the old man, then put Campbell in and at least build for next year.

[That Guy]

even if campbell sucks, maybe he'll be good enough next year.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Honestly, if Campbell went in, I don't think we'd be building at all. I really think he could win some games for us.

[GhettoDogAllStars]

I think madden said it last night, but I'm not sure if he was speculating or if saunders/gibbs said it: madden said that JC would not go from 3rd string to 2nd and then to 1st...he'd go from 3rd string to 1st.

if that is true, then there isn't really any reason to think collins would go in if/when MB is benched...but I have to ask: why have the 2nd and 3rd string identified if the 3rd stringer is ahead of the 2nd stringer? or, why not make JC 2nd string?

[paulskinsfan]

I have TiVo, so I really break down the plays. Did anyone else notice that we had WRs open, but Brunnell either could not or would not make the throw?

you seriously think you can win a superbowl with under 80 yards passing? i'd love some recent examples. and if you seriously think we've got a real shot with brunell this year to win it all, you're kidding yourself.

[VTSkins897]

agreed. even if he's our best shot, which is questionable now, at what point should a crappy shot traded for the future?

Rooting for injury?

Real classy.

Im just being honest Matt. As for your "judgement" (YAWN).

You're right. And the worse part is that the one thing Brunell is supposedly good for (not making mistakes) was shot to hell last night when he floated that pass to Cololey at the 3, which Roy Williams picked off. I guess that was one of Brunell's "wise decisions."
