2-5 at the bye: time to make changes

[70Chip]

I think there is a case to be made for seeing what Campbell is capable of doing. I don't think it's likely to happen, but I think the talk is understandable. I'm a little curious myself.

I don't believe that Campbell will make things better. I think it's far more likely that in the short term he would make things worse. (I know it doesn't seem possible but believe me it is.) I guess when you are 2 -5 it shouldn't make that much of a difference.

Other areas that are causing us problems and seemed to be overlooked when everyone obsesses about Brunell:

1. Clinton Portis is and has not been healthy.

2. Our Offensive Line is playing like shit. They don't seem to have bought in to the Saunders thing at all.

3. Our defense is now below average. Anyone whe remembers the names Ron Lynn or Mike Nolan will know how hard it is to win games when you have a defense ranked in the 20s. I don't see how they get better this year, either.

4. Special teams is hit and miss. I'm surprised that there haven't been calls to can Danny Smith but I may have missed them.

One more thing. After hearing Steve Csaban disrespect Gibbs tonight, I'm going to make jamming him my life's calling. If Comcast chooses to keep him on the air, I will add them to the list. What a f__ing asshole.

The way I figure, we'll either lose with Brunell's 90.8 QB rating, or Jason Campbell throwing 4 or 5 picks a game.

We lose either way. Might as well be Campbell getting the experience he needs rather than put it off next year.

I think my fear is that we''ll find out that Campbell is Heath Schuler and then they will have to call in the White Coats. (for me) (to take me to the insane asylum) I'd feel better about it if there were some rumblings from the team in favor of Campbell, but I don't get that sense. Anyone?

If Campbell fails miserably, then it will be another black eye for Gibbs, who paid a very high price to pick him at No. 25. Part of me says we should use our Top 5 pick next year on a franchise QB. The whole thing's a complete mess. We're one game better than the Raiders and Cardinals. Wow.
