Reality check on Campbell
There's been a lot of talk about starting Campbell versus Dallas. As we know, no way is this going to happen. At best he might get a few snaps if the game is lost. Brunell is the starter until the season is over (which could be a couple of games from now) and there is no way that Gibbs will start Campbell until that point.
When things go wrong it is natural for us fans to scream for change but is Campbell more likely to win than Brunell against Dallas? If we are being reasonable we would have to say that in all probability the answer is no at this point. Throwing Campbell in now is basically conceding that the season is over and we are looking to '07 already. While we still have a slim chance of challenging for the playoffs playing Brunell is surely the best option that we have at this point.
If Brunell stinks up the joint against the Cowgirls then scream for his head but until he does the fans have to get behind him. He turned it around last season and could do it again. Let's look to next year when this year is over - at this point it isn't.
