Welcome. I agree.

At some point, practice time and game time must be invested in Jason Campbell to get him acclimated. 2-5 seems like a good time to do it, since winning and losing doesn't matter so much at this point.

Gibbs won't see it that way, though. Until the 'Skins have 7 losses or are otherwise mathematically eliminated, he's going to stick with what gives us the best chance to win. Once completely dead in the water, then maybe he'll hand the reins to Campbell to learn from. I just hope that doesn't result in Campbell being forced to learn on the job next season.

The............"Madness" stops when the season is lost. Joe does not know what it means to QUIT. It looks bleak, but it is not gone. if we lose to Dallas, there will be plenty of time to evaluate JC and the rest of thre team

And in the end Campbell will get fedup and leave.... like so many other Skins have..... And poeple on this board will be calling him a traitor....

Welcome.

And I could not agree more. Such a waste of time. Get Cambell in there now.

Yup, because you KNOW once the team is eliminated, there's going to be a lot less trying from the guys.

So are you saying we have a team of quitters with no pride?

Who knows? But we'd definitely see the true colors of the team if they knew they had no chance of a playoff birth. We saw the Cowboys last year lose at HOME to the Rams after they knew they wouldn't make it. I hope that's not the case.

Something perhaps worth noting from today's WP:

Redskins Assess the Damage
October 26
Washington Post: "In Brunell's absence, another curious and possibly important event took place: For the first time in his young career, quarterback Jason Campbell took all the snaps with the first team on consecutive days. The move could be significant, a sign that the Redskins acknowledge that the disastrous events of the first seven games have accelerated their timetable for getting Campbell prepared to play"

In the past, hasn't TC worked with the first unit when MB was injured? If so, that is an interesting move.

You are correct, sir!
TC then JC...

I have butterflies in my stomach!

Hopefully it means that at the very least he'll be elevated to #2

Good read. Great find Schneed.

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-26-2006, 09:43 AM

I thought he had too. Maybe Mark is hurt worse than we thought. Oh, to dream.

MTK · 10-26-2006, 09:57 AM

It this team quits down the stretch Gibbs has really lost his touch and only then would I envision him stepping down.

This team has some prideful vets and a staff that I don't think would allow them to quit.

This team was face down in the mud last year at 5-6 and could have easily given up. We'll see if they can respond in a similar way this year.

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-26-2006, 09:58 AM

Which makes me think it wouldn't happen. I just hope we win enough games after this bye to at least make December interesting. Then we can get into the, "If the Redskins win this game and Team A loses this game, then if Team B beats Team C, we're in!"
