I think it's funny that people think we can bring in these starting quality QBs and put them behind Campbell. That's not reality for a variety of reasons.

I agree. What makes anyone think they are tied to Campbell? He has been 3rd string until now. The only reason he is getting a chance is because the season is over.

As far as the "we have made an investment". We invested draft picks. Those mean absolutely nothing to this team.

This is Campbell's chance. If he shows that he is effective, than there is a possibility that he will be the starter next year. If he is so-so than I guarantee they will bring in one of Saunders old guys (if Saunders stays) or another veteran QB. My biggest fear is that Brunell remains on the roster next year because that would be way to tempting for Joe to bring him in when the starter struggles.

I am not convinced we have seen the last of MB this season.

You are 100% correct. Let's say that Campbell is worse than any of us imagined. Brunell will make another appearance once his health improves.

where did you hear he was hurt? or are you talking about his arthritis?

You can tell he is hurt. I think he has been hurt the whole season.

This season?

I really don't see any benefit in going back to him. Unless Campbell is a complete flop or gets hurt, are there any other reasons why you think MB would be back this year?

I am pretty sure that Joe made left the possibility open during his press conference.

Joe is too nice of a guy to admit that the door has slammed shut on Brunell's career. He really wants to believe that he can go back to him, but hopefully once we get a look at Campbell he'll see just how unrealistic that would be.

well put, I think the bigger question is what they'll do w/MB next season. I foresee a disagreement between Gibbs & saunders on this. Wouldn't be surprised if collins & mb stay, maybe w/restructured deals. We need to bring in a rookie & groom them as a backup.
Did someone on the warpath once say something about MB being a coach here eventually?

I think someone pointed out that we would save more $$ by letting him go than we would by keeping him, so the writing appears to be on the wall.

I dont see any benefit of going back to MB either. I dont even think JC has to be a flop, hurt, etc, for MB to come back. For whatever reason Gibbs likes MB (like OBC liked Weurful) and if JC stumbles I think Gibbs will have no problems going back. Remember last year when he told everyone PR was his man but the 1st time he stumbled in came MB. Gibbs likes MB.

I think JC gets at a minimum 2 games before Gibbs even considers bringing back MB.

Campbell has 7 starts to show that we can move forward with him. I think as long as he's not a disaster he'll be the starter next year. I hope and pray Campbell leaves nothing up for debate. I really hope he comes in and takes hold of the starting job and never looks back.

I agree. Plus, are we forgetting that Gibbs picked Campbell? So wouldn't it stand to reason he likes him as well?
