I agree, and mentioned this in a previous thread. Its possible that we would be in the playoff hunt if we would have kept Brunell in there a little longer. Our running game, which had been struggling, is clicking. Our pass protection is better.

I agree w/ the benching and do think its time though to see what JC can do. We aren't a superbowl caliber team w/ either qb so it's JC's time right now.

Knowing how much Gibbs loves Portis and how he thinks of him as a core redskin, i have to disagree that the redskins will shop him. Don't see it.

The running game clicking may indirectly have to do with Campbell's willingness and ability to throw the long ball. With Brunell you could pretty much take that out of the equation and stack the box with 8. So, I'm not sold on that either.

Yeah, I always thought that we could have collected a few more wins if we were patient with Brunell in there and allowed the rest of the team to correct itself. But at some point, simply squeezing in as a wild card in a ridiculously weak conference so you can get crushed by a good team on the road in January has to come second to getting your young gun some expierence.

Would have been nice to go to 9-7, grab the 6 seed and gotten to play Dallas in the WC round, but as long as we do well next year due to this move, I'm happy.
