Will Saunders Affect Our QB Situation?

I always get effect and affect mixed up.

I'd love to know the difference and when to use which one.

"Affect Versus Effect," by Paula Marie Bentley, Editor-in-Chief

Affect means to influence.

Example: “The rain affected our day.”

Effect means to bring about some kind of result.

“Rain is the effect of moisture in the clouds.”

Affect and effect are two words that are commonly confused.

"Affect" is usually a verb meaning "to influence".

The drug did not affect the disease.

"Effect" is usually a noun meaning "result".

The drug has many adverse side effects.

"Effect" can also be used as a verb meaning "to bring about".

The present government effected many positive changes.

I'd love to know the difference and when to use which one.

"effect" is a noun, as in "Success was the effect of the Saunders hiring."

"affect" is a verb, as in "Saunders will affect the Skins by making them a more potent offense."

So when you talk of doing it's "affect" and of the results of something "effect."

(My mom used to be an English teacher...dinner was sometimes unbearable! jk mom, jk)

I like the Ramsey/Green comparison if only because when Green was in DC he couldn't get out of the way of the rush either. I think the most important aspect Saunders will bring is playcalling, something that Gibbs has struggled with since his return. This is a great move, I expect to see a lot more of :point: and less of :banghead: on offense now.

Eh, I was close enough for a football fan :towel:

I really hope we go Campbell all the way now.

Bring him up in the Rothelisberger way, only throw deep a few times a game, and keep it simple.

Plus his year on the bench will help him with the transition into the new scheme.

HAIL SKINS!!

If Mark Brunell is our starting QB next season i will not watch the games. I refuse to watch an offense that has to call certain plays because our QB has a diminished skill. Until Jason Campbell is named our starter i am boycotting.

And dead on compared to a Philly fan.

Welcome aboard Chuck.

Let me be the first to introduce you to Offiss. Sounds like you two have some common ground. Although you may come to blows over the fact that Campbell not Ramsey is our next QB.

Dude, you are way harsh. Campbell has 0 victories and 0 TDs. Brunell did falter at times, but he has a special chemistry with Moss and Cooley that can't be denied. We don't know how good Jason Campbell is going to be because the NFL is not the SEC and he also had Caddilac and Ronnie Brown (and Carlos) at Auburn. Gibbs might keep Ramsey if Saunders thinks that is the right thing to do. Also, he could open up the competition between Campbell and Brunell if Ramsey is traded....either way, Brunell just won 6 straight games for us before the Seattle loss and he was pretty poor then, but so was the whole offense. I'm sure you'll be watching no matter who is QB if you really love the skins.

First of all, welcome to the thread. Secondly, you can't be serious.

If you're not happy with 10-6 my friend, then you are certainly asking a lot of Jason Campbell at this point.
