Ties the first Dallas game for ineptitude, although the deck was stacked heavily against him. The interception should never have been thrown.

I wouldn't make the switch this week for multiple reasons. Number 1, you don't want to break Jason Campbell in on the road when the team isn't playing well. Number 2, it would be a significant injustice to Mark Brunell to bench him after forcing him into the situation that the coaching staff and team did. Number 3, we will never play another game that is this difficult to win this season. So although we have next to nil chance to win the division, a wild card berth is a possibility if we win out against a schedule where we have all of our tough games at home, where weve been right in every contest over the last two seasons. It still would be a bad decision to try to have Campbell save the season.

The switch is certainly on the horizion though. If we as a team can't beat Tampa Bay, the switch should be made. I'm guessing this is the way Gibbs is thinking right now.

But if you are relying on a 2nd year inexpirenced player to save the franchise, you have another thing coming.

Give me a break! You sound like Gibbs. No one is asking Jason C. to save the franchise. Look at our pee-wee league offense? Any starting or back-up NFL QB could run our offense. Any college QB could throw screens and 5 yard slants. Take a look around the NFL. Rothlesburger, E. Manning, Leinart, Grossman, Frye, A Smith, Leftwich, Palmer, Carr and Lossman. All these QB's got to start in their 1st or 2nd years. Why is JC any different? Brunell struggles to throw for 150 yards. Pathetic stats for a NFL QB with three good WR's and a solid TE. This team should always have 200 - 250 yards passing. When was the last time Brunell had a 300 yard game? There is no reason to coddle Jason C. anymore. This guy played 4 years in the SEC in front 100,000 every week. He is use to pressure. oH, and bye the way. WE GAVE UP 2 FIRST ROUNDER TO GET HIM! I think he can handle an aging, slow TB defense. Plus TB is playing Gradkowski!!!!! This is just absurd. There is NO REASON that Campbell should not start next week.
