Starting Campbell Now Makes Cap Sense

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Regardless of how Brunell plays, he'll never be good enough to lead this team to the Super Bowl, so I can let's cut our losses now. I mean, we go out, get the receiving talent, and he still can't hit the open man. He's done.

That's the point! Under Brunell they're not going to win a Super Bowl. A lot of us have been saying that since he got here, but that's beside the point. Super Bowl teams don't start out 2 - 4 with losses to no win teams. The Redskins are not a great team. I don't even think they're a particularly good team. I don't care if the loss was Brunell's fault. He won't lead us anywhere with the team that's around him. I don't think putting in Campbell is going to turn the season around. The season is pretty much over. Why not play Campbell? Why keep him sitting on the bench? Eating up cap room with whatever cap number he has. He's supposed to be the future of the team, well it's time for them to find out.

If everyone wants to wait for 2 more losses then I guess I could deal with that. But they're gonna lose to Indy and they'll be lucky to beat Dallas, then what? I say the latest Jason should start is against Dallas. He'd have the bye week to prepare and then be fine.

Well, the key to the rest of the season lies beyond the bye week. Looking at the schedule, the toughest post-bye game is @ Phili, and every other game is winnable. If they play like the team they were supposed to be preseason, why not?

The Colts game means almost nothing. Think about it. If you lose the game, and ended up winning out (all but the road Phili game), you would likely hold the tiebreaker at 10-6. If you won the game, you still have the same conference record, meaning that you would likely not have the tiebreaker (If the Eagles or Cowboys or whoever also went 11-5). Either way, the only way they get back in this thing is to get hot AFTER the bye. Savior is a bad role to put Jason Campbell in. The defense has to step up or its not happening.

EDIT-That doesnt matter statement is only from a divisional perspective. From a Wild Card perspective, we need all the wins we can get.

I've said over and over Jason Campbell does not equate to wins. It means that the kid will learn how to play in this league. If they win out? They'll just reel off 9 straight wins? That's insane! They have:

@Indy
Dallas
@ Eagles
@ Bucs
Panthers
Falcons
Eagles
@ Saints
@ Rams
Giants

I could see them beating maybe the Bucs and Falcons. The rest of those teams can throw. The Skins will get torched by them. I don't care who the receivers are, Brunell isn't gonna magically start winning shootouts.

How can you still be so homerish? Win out after the bye? What team have you been watching for the last 14 years? They will absolutely not win eight out of the next ten. They'll be LUCKY to win four of the next ten with Brunell running the show.

And earlier you made a comment about Brunell completeing 60% of his passes and only have three int's all season. Great, but when 85% of your completions are dumpoff's you're not scaring anyone. Just look how well the Titans defended the dink and dunks yesterday. It's because everyone know's it's coming.

And yes, three interceptions is nice, but what about five touchdowns threw six games? That puts him on pace for about 14 for the season. Niiiice... That's with a group of receivers(Moss, Lloyd, Cooley, Randle El, Sellers) who had 29 combined touchdown catches last season.
