I agree with most of what's been said, up to the point that playing Campbell equates to giving up on the season. That is the case if Campbell struggles, but what if his athleticism behind center is just what we needed? I recall when Eli Manning was given the reins to a team deemed to be a title contender the vets almost revolted, but why draft a guy in the first round if you're not going to play him? We made the deal for him because we thought he could play and play well for us.

So I guess I don't agree. I think continuing to play Brunell and pretend that he's going to somehow turn things around is giving up on the season. That said, there's no way Campbell plays until we have 9 losses. 7 losses and we're still "mathematically alive" and the specter of how well we finished last year will prevent Gibbs from pulling the trigger.
