ROMO??? Why not JC???

[Crat92]

I really think JC could give the team that much needed spark. If we as fans know the team isn't goin' anywhere with Brunell, don't you think the players on the team know that as well? I would think they would be frustrated with the same guy leading them. The Cowboys knew they weren't goin' anywhere with Bledsoe so Parcells benched him! What's so damn great about sorry ass Brunell?

[illdefined]

frankly, Brunell himself could provide the spark if he just started making the throws it takes to WIN the game not manage it. the question is will he? (can he?)

Good Point. I don't think he's been asked by Saunders to go win the game, so until he is coached otherwise, I doubt we will see him begin to make riskier throws. Of course, if the defense continues to suck against the Cowboys, he may have to (which is pretty much what you've been saying all along). To this point, the Skins offense has never had to be desperate. Hopefully, they can grab the lead and keep it.

Please, GW, get it together out there.

This is intersting since Dallas has to play Washington next Sunday. This reassures me that Jason Campbell would actually do better than MB. If not, then you will know little more about your QB of the future and if you might have to draft another one.

I mean in the preseason JC would play in the 3rd or 4th quarter against the 2nd or 3rd Defense and he still didn't look like he could play that well.

The otehr thing is the play-calling, I was watching Redskins pregame on Fox5 and they were talking about how AS is not the one calling the plays, I mean he is calling them but with restrictions. They were saying that they plays the Redskins are running right now are very similar to the ones last year. They said the Gibbs is not letting AS open-up his play-book.

I have to be honest that I was not looking forward to the game next Sunday, but now it will be worth watching, who knows any given sunday a team could win. I am not saying that Dallas will win but hey at least it LOOKS LIKE we have a shot at a chance. Meanwhile, the G-wimps will have an easy game against the Texans, I hate them just as much as you guys do.

I think changes are good sometimes regardless of the position and I think JC deserves a shot. Look at Leinart now or remeber Roethlisberger when he was a rookie, Chris Simms did OK, Delhome did OK, Jason Campbell should be a starter.

your orgainzation did the right thing,....at least they realize a change needed to be made and not waited until the season is over to see if they can still save it..........Washington, cant win with MB,...period, they cant, and if Jason Campbell is not given a chance soon,....then JG and the organization is to blame.........F**k waiting.......now is the time

we traded away, Webber, Hamilton...

Jordan chased Hamilton out of town, and I've never forgiven him!

Not only that, he drafted the worst player, in my opinion, Brown what a POS. Jordan drained two of the Wizzards seasons for his own personal reputaion.

Back to the football, and I have said this before and many many people said it before me on this forum, the only reason the Redskins went so far into the playoffs was their D and the first game against Tampa said it all, the offense couldn't do anything and the D basically won the game for them but you can only do it so many times.

I can't see the Redskins making it this just because of the divisioin they are in, NFC East is tough, each of the other divisions have one or two team that the rest beat on to get their wins to keep up with eachother.

We shouldnt compare brunell to last years number because last year's numbers sucked. We had a horrible offense last year, and it's a little bit better this year. This year, we need to take more risks on offense because we don't have a consistent defense. Las year Turnovers were the deciding factor, because with our defense we werent gonna give up a lot of points as long as we didnt' turn the ball over and give them good field position. This year, we let them score no matter where they start, making the turnover margin meaningless. Brunell has to cut out this conservative crap and take risks, or else we need someone in there that will.

That horrible offense was 11th overall in the league and broke team records for rushing and receiving. How horrible is that?

47 yards of passing against the seahawks, and no better against the bucs. THAT HORRIBLE. plus we played a weak schedule. AAAAAND our defense gave us endless numbers of possessions, which is not the case this year. WHAT were you watching last year in regards to brunell?????

Just stating the facts. 11th ranked offense. Moss and Portis both set team records. Yeah they faded down the stretch, but how about looking at the entire season rather than just picking and choosing the worst moments. As for Brunell, his numbers stood up pretty well. 3050 yards passing, 23 TDs, 10 INTs. Hard to call that horrible if you ask me. He played much better as a whole last year compared to his year.

Those are Sheffield and A rod stats, piling up numbers against mistakes and bad pitching, where was he against a good defense? Zim is right our defense handed him the ball over and over again, Brunell may have put up some stats but stats can be very misleading at times, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Funny thing if our offense was as good as you say why is Saunders here? And why did Gibbs say he hasen't been able to adjust to the new defenses? All those thing were said because we primarly went 3 and out and kept putting the burden of victory on our defense, that is why they were out of gas at the end of the year.

I don't think brunell's body can hold up for an entire season, he gets worse as the season progresses, it was our running game and O-line who carried us into the playoffs last year, while it was brunell playing well in the beginning of the season. He seems to need two weeks to recover fully from a game, and by playoff time he's so banged up that he's useless. I think his arm is also DEAD, once he makes one big throw, he feels the effect for the rest of the game.

would it make a difference if these things were said by NFL insiders instead of posters on Warpath? from the WP:

"Saunders's high-powered offenses in Kansas City liked to stretch the field with long passes, but his game plans in Washington have been tailored to what Brunell does best -- throwing short passes. Two general managers said they believed Brunell, not a pure drop-back passer, was a poor fit for Saunders's preferred mode of attack, noting that he appears unwilling or unable to thread passes through tight spots over the middle or throw the ball deep downfield."

or

"An offense full of playmakers has no one making plays. Even those who once assumed they would be at the heart of the attack, like Portis, wonder where or when they will fit in."

"You start to question whether you're the person for the offense," Portis said. "If everybody was getting the ball and if everybody was doing good, then this offense would be great. But being that we're not, we have that conflict."


funny, i read this article for the first time this morning..

Yeah, Portis made those comments a couple of weeks ago. After the Colts' loss.

What are the odds that we see campbell this sunday?????????? I'm thinking that they are pretty good. If gibbs hears enough boos for brunell i think he might make the switch at half.
