There is little happening this year to change his philosophy. I understand that some fans are not comforatable with that, but that's life on Coach Gibbs team. Put on your big boy pants and deal with it.

Great philosophy. So that means Campbell sits again next season, which could possibly be Gibbs last season, and is still basically a rookie the following season(his fourth). The new coach installs a new system, and Campbell, never getting any actual game experience, doesn't pick it up right away. The new coach brings in some other overpaid reject quarterback from another team, and the majority of this forums membership claims the Campbell hasn't shown anything and was never Coach Asshat's guy anyway. He's cut or traded the following season.

I know a lot of people like to think that Gibbs' present tenure as head coach will be exactly like the last one, but he started this new tenure at 62, not 43. He's having health problem because of the time he puts into coaching. He'll coach this season, possibly next season, and that'll be it, unless something drastic happens. Campbell needs to show whether or not he's a viable starter while Gibbs is still in charge, or there's a good chance he'll be castoff before even getting a chance.

First of all, I believe keeping Saunders on board may be possible, so Campbell doesn't learn a new system necessarily. Secondly, Campbell has gained valuable NFL experience (ie playing in 3 pre-seasons) and will be much better than the Jason Campbell fresh out the box. If he is cut/ traded in the final season, it means Campbell was a bad move. Not every draft pick pans out. Not every player reaches his "potential".

I think handling Campbell the proven most effective way isn't a "Bad Philosophy". Quarterbacks starting right out the gate RARELY accomplish anything. I would like to see the best quarterback on our team play, and regardless of any long term plans, Mark Brunell is "our guy" at the moment. This is not a re-building year, this is not a "work in progress". This is a superbowl run and the best players should be playing.

I agree. Well put.

I think brunell gets off by short passes, it is the only logical explaination.
