paulskinsfan 10-17-2006, 11:47 AM What Leinart did was provide a spark to his team. The Cardinals aren't that good, but Leinart provided a spark, something our team is missing with MB under center. Once again, I find myself hoping for just the slightest injury, nothing serious, but maybe an ankle sprain. When Brunnell was taken back for x-rays, I actually pepped up thinking maybe Collins could come in and save the day....damn speedy golf carts at FedEx! The season will be lost before Gibbs benches MB.
I don't understand why there's a distinction between losing games through inaction, and losing them from fumbling. A loss is a loss, and if the key player isn't making the key plays, a change needs to be made. And it wouldn't make sense to pull Brunell before the bye, but Gibbs is talking like benching him is out of the question.
It's pretty easy to make the distinction actually. Warner was directly contributing to the Cards losing with his turnovers. Right now Brunell isn't doing much to help win a game, but he's not the ultimate reason for the offensive struggles, despite what the narrow minded pundits want to say.

I agree with that, MB isn't the only reason we're losing but he is one of the big reasons, along with a D that can't stop anybody.

You forgot about the nothing "special" teams!
firstdown 10-17-2006, 12:10 PM JUst as a side not JC preseason numbers:
Pass at: 51
Pass Comp: 26
TD's: 0
Intercep: 2
Tot Passing yrds:270
Average per attempt:5.29
Average per completion: 10.38
Maybe theres a reason JC is not the starter at this time. I know it was preseason playing against alot of 3rd stringers and we where playing 3rd stringers. I do agree JC needs time in a game but its just too early in the season for him and we don't even know what they see in him at pratice. He was not even warming up whe brunell got hurt.

This is precisely why we need to make a change now. You're either part of the problem or part of the solution, and we need production from the qb spot. The skill positions seem to be set, or at least we're locked in with our receivers and backs.
Brunell isn't the ultimate reason for the offensive struggles, but he's very high on a very short list. Cooley has disappeared, which may be why teams play so much Cover 2 on us. We've got no answers, other than a mobile qb who could keep some of these plays alive. Put me in the Campbell corner, he's going to play so why not today?
Oakland Red 10-17-2006, 01:32 PM Jason Campbell can thank his lucky stars to have been drafted by the Redskins under Joe Gibbs' leadership. Campbell has played in six different systems in six years, and he is now in the most complex by far, one that Mark Brunell with all his experience has not mastered yet. Gibbs will keep Campbell in a learning mode so that when he comes in, he will succeed.
If you put Campbell in now, you risk destroying his tree of confidence with all the tree boring worms that fans will pour onto him in the thousands when he fails to play with extraordinary effectiveness. Right now Campbell's confidence tree needs to get stronger and taller before he is ready to go.
I am amazed with the grace that Mark Brunell holds up under the antipathy sent at him. Even an experience player like him is going to be effected by all that criticism and lack of support.
The fact is that just like fans can be the 12th man, they can also have the effect of making us play like we have only 9 or 10 men, by harming the players with all this scapegoating.

Those numbers don't mean much to me, but the only reason Campbell was not warming up is that Collins will be finishing out games when Brunell gets injured during a game. Campbell will play if he has a week to prepare. And no time is better than after the Colts beat the sh** out of us this Sunday..........that will give Campbell 2 weeks to get prepared for a home game vs. Dallas. Start Campbell's career.........I don't think he'll take us to more wins, but I think its time for him to now learn on the field.
railcon56 10-17-2006, 01:47 PM No matter what I Love Joe Gibbs and he will always be my alltime favorite coach... and will always be greatful for all the thrills he has provided me....
