Gibbs Press Conference:

Did you notice how Gibbs ruled out JC as starter after the bye but did not rule out going to Todd Collins. It really looks to me like Todd Collins will see action long before JC will.

I didn't catch that at all. What did he say?

why waste all those picks on a guy you desperately don't want to play?

I doubt that would happen if they have a week to prepare Campbell. Gibbs already stated that earlier in the season.

If they do end up starting Collins at some point this season rather than Campbell, when they have the opportunity to get him a full week of practice...IMO that is a dumb decision.

Look, none of this is surprising--we knew Gibbs would stick with MB to the bitter end. That does not mean he doesn't like Campbell or wants Collins to play. He's just doing what he's done before with a vet he likes. My guess is, as matty's been saying, we'll have MB until we are eliminated or MB is hurt. Sorry, folks.

Agreed. Which may not be for several more weeks, hopefully if at all (wishful thinking). But then you surely don't go to Collins, right?

What I wished Gibbs has said was something like this: "Mark's numbers looked OK, but under him, the offense scored only one TD while the game was in the balance. I'm sticking with him, but I expect more from him."

Instead, we got the same old blind-faith statements.

Well he did say "I'm sure even Mark would tell you he'd like to make some plays there that he didn't. Mark's day was inconsistent"

I didn't even hear him mention Todd Collins at all

He didnt mention TC by name but he did say they wont go to JC so that means TC is next in line if the change is made.

I didn't get that at all from the presser. I got the impression he was saying he's not making a change, period. He didn't say or insinuate anything about changing QBs.

I didn't get that impression. A question was specifically asked about Campbell. And Gibbs said they love Campbell, talk with him every day, know that at some point this will be his gig but right now they don't think it's the best answer to make a change at QB unless Mark's sore in practice.
