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.

One thing I have noticed is that Skins fans seem to think starting JC at QB equates to giving up on the season. I find this interesting because rookie QBs are proving they can play well and win games all over the league yet for some reason its believed that JC (not a rookie) cant come in and win or lead the team to the playoffs.
