The best we can do? According to SI

[Mc2guy]

Again, I don't understand the SI logic. We're supposed to believe that the best case scenario involves Campbell starting in week 5 after Brunell leads the team to a 3-1 start?

Last time I checked, most NFL coaches don't bench a starter after going 3-1. They also don't usually consider a qb struggling if he has his team at 3-1...efficient, "not-losing", uninspired...these phrases all come to mind if a team is winning despite the qb position play, but not "struggling." My name isn't King though, so WTF do I know.

I remember a coach by the name of Norv Turner back in the 2000 season that pulled Brad Johnson after 8 games with a 6/2 record (w,l,l,w,w,w), and put in Jeff George to only win 1 out of the next 4 (or 5?)

I never understood that move.
