I dont think having the most involved player on the team crying in front of everyone else insprisers everyone to play harder. I personally would take offense to it if he were my QB....

Dude get a grip!

JC has alot more balls than you will ever have. This was a HUGE game and alot was riding on it. Emotions are always running high after football games, one way or another. You have no idea what the hell your talking about. Your the guy who probably never played sports in life but were the 1st one to make fun of the people who do.

I knew it wouldn't take long.

I don't think they meant crying in a wussy, blubbering "waaah I want my mommy" kind of way. The kid was just expressing some pent up emotion and frusteration.

I, for one, am thrilled to see some emotion back in these guys. It's nice to see Portis pissed off, good to see guys like Randel El and Smoot fired up, and a QB who actually gives a damn.

Skills completely aside, Ramsey and Brunell always bugged me cause it seemed like it wasn't a really big deal when they lost. Ramsey I don't think actually HAS facial expressions, and Brunell always had this sort of "aw shucks" shrug to what he had to say.

Time to bring back some passion and fire to this team! Say what you will about football just being a business nowadays, but at its core football is about guys "fighting their guts out," giving their all until the last whistle, showing character, toughness and poise in the face of victory and defeat.

I'm sure Matty is talking about around here. it to me its refreshing to see a player that actually cares enough about winning to break down alittle bit

It'd be the same people constantly wishing injury to Romo or any other player we face.

This guy is a gem. Say what you will about Gibbs' coaching record this time around, but if he delivers us the franchise QB that we haven't had in decades, everyone should be kissing Gibbs' ass.

This is a QB-centric league and it is extremely difficult to be a great team without a great quarterback. There are teams like the Ravens and the Bucs that have historically had success without solid QBs under center, but they are the exception to the rule. It should come as no surprise that we've had trouble fielding a great team in the past decade or so given that we have been relying on guys like Tony Banks and Shane Matthews to lead our offenses. If JC turns out to be the kind of QB we have all been looking for, this franchise is set up for a good run and many self-proclaimed experts will attribute our success to better coaching, better moves by the front office, better play by the players at skill positions, etc. when in reality our success will come down to having a guy under center who can make plays.

You bring up a good point. I have a good feeling (sorry Schneed) that people will give Gibbs more credit for revitalizing the franchise after he leaves than while he was here.

It's funny no one is saying we gave up too much for Campbell now. But didn't we give up two picks and not three? Why do I keep hearing three picks? I'm confused.

But you can sorta see some of the pieces fall into place.

If you look around the NFL, QB play is absolutely terrible in more places than not. Trading up for Campbell will be the greatest legacy of Gibbs 2.0.

Absolutely. As much as Brunell annoys me, there are probably 10 teams who would want any of our three qbs. Panthers anyone?

Gibbs has an unbelievable ability to judge QBs, even when most of the football population can not. He took a huge risk in sending Ramsey to the way side because he obviously thought he can do better. The early returns show that he was correct.

There are only a few things that seperate a historically great coach from a run-of-the-mill good guy, but Gibbs has that in spades.

I disagree. All the qb's Gibbs has every really had have been run of the mill servicable qb's. He has however been able to get all of them to play very well at times.

Even back in the day when coaches had a bigger role in player development than they do now, so QBs had to be evaluated differently, doesn't Gibbs get the credit for picking out the right guys for his system?

Nowadays, I don't believe system QB's exist, but back in the day I feel there were some pretty good examples, and Gibbs pushed all the right buttons and found guys cheap that could do the job for him (Schroeder, Williams, Rypien, etc.)

God I love Campbell. What a great player with heart...

firstdown · 11-20-2007, 12:11 PM

I also heard that before the game Smoot was going off in the locker room getting the team pumped up for the game.

scowan · 11-20-2007, 12:22 PM

I was disappointed in the result of the game. but so proud of our team. Wheither we make the playoffs or not, next year should be great under Campbell.

Ultimately who cares about this year anyway, the Patriots are SO GOOD that I am really just waiting for Brady to win another one so that maybe some of those Patriots will retire and give the rest of the league has a chance!
