Everyone says starting Campbell means giving up on the season. I don't necessarily buy that theory. I feel he can't possibly be any more inept than Brunell. I'd rather have a QB who possibly throws more INTs, yet revitalizes our sick passing game, as opposed to a QB who rarely throws INTs because he doesn't attempt much beyond 10 yards. This offense needs a major spark and a QB change could be that spark.
Starting Campbell isn't giving up on the season. Sticking with Brunell is.

Plus, many feel that anything short of the playoffs this year is a failed season. Regardless of our optimism, I doubt there are many here who would be willing to bet we'll make the playoffs this season. Giving Jason Campbell some opportunities before season's end will enhance his readiness for the coming season providing their plan is to have him ready to be the starter next season. Also, the sooner we get to look at Jason under game conditions, the better we'll be able to determine if he is actually capable of being able to lead this team starting next season, or if we would have to consider looking even further perhaps for a veteran QB. So, the sooner we find these things out the better off we'll be in terms of making any further decisions as to which way to proceed. I feel it's imperative we test his state of readiness "now" so the team can begin to rally around him while we still have our core group of offensive player locked into long term contracts and they can all grow together.
