Campbell, now!

RedskinRat · 11-21-2005, 02:04 PM

Yeah, I said it....

I want to bench Brunell and get Campbell some live fire reps before the next season.

Maybe in 2 weeks when the skins are officially out of the playoff chase.

FirstandTen · 11-21-2005, 02:08 PM

Yea wait till were out of it. No need to trash the season when were 5-5.

MTK · 11-21-2005, 02:10 PM

Why bother, Brunell will be back as the starter again next year in all likelihood.

If we drop 4 or 5 in a row, yeah maybe give Ramsey or Campbell a start. But at 5-5 it's not time to fold up the tent just yet.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 11-21-2005, 02:11 PM

I would hold off on benching Brunell for a few weeks (when we are completely out of the playoff picture), but I ultimately would endorse such a move (I know Gibbs has been waiting on my endorsement). It utlimately comes down to what is in our best long-term interests. Brunell has played very well this season, but he's 35 and he can't have more than a season or two left in him.

If the season is done, why not give the reigns to Campbell and let him get some experience? We can always go back to Brunell at the start of next season.

I wondered how long before the Jason Campbell threads began. Give us a couple more losses before I would agree with you though, You gotta keep the faith.

firstdown · 11-21-2005, 02:15 PM

I agree it would be nice to get Campbell some game time this year but feel its alittle to early to give up on the season.

12thMan · 11-21-2005, 02:15 PM

Too early to be talking about JC, dude.

We'll be fine.

I think at this point we should be hoping Tampa loses some games.

I have a feeling that's who we'll be competing against for a PO spot.

56FAN · 11-21-2005, 02:16 PM

Wait til all chances go up in flames.then it would be prudent. also we can then check out nemo.

Gmanc711 · 11-21-2005, 02:30 PM

If were offically out, I agree. This isnt anything against Brunell, but as was said. We have took look to the long term future of the Redskins. I wouldnt mind seeing Campbell getting a few games under him, even IF Brunell is going to be our qb next season.

RedskinRat · 11-21-2005, 02:34 PM

We have little to no spark on offense. Remeber when Ramsey came in late last season? That lit everyone up and I think it would give Campbell a great way to take the reins.

SmootSmack · 11-21-2005, 02:39 PM

I think the answer is to ask paulskinsfan what we should do, let funandgunner reiterate the decision....and hope that matty doesn't ruin it somehow

The offense has only had to games I would say they had no spark.

Unfortunately my ego wouldn't allow that to happen.

If the "Brunell experiment" fails this year, it will show that Gibbs did in fact make a terrible error in judgment by signing him and making him the starter this year.

The decision to start Brunell looked brilliant for a couple games, and it still could turn out that way. However, if we finish 8-8 or 7-9, I think Coach Gibbs will deserve some flack for benching Ramsey and anointing Brunell the starter, especially because it will mean being back at square one when it comes to the QB position.
