My view is you're a rookie for one year. After that year is over, there are no more reasons to hold you on the bench. You've had a year to learn, and hence this year I'd treat Campbell vs Brunell as if it were any other QB battle. The best one plays.
In my mind, it already is an open competition, and I think Gibbs will treat it that way too.
I think Brunell will end up starting this season, but I gotta give Campbell a chance to beat him out. Based on Gibbs' glowing reviews of Campbell, I think we have two good QBs entering this season, and that's a real sweet problem to have.
I hope that it is an open competition. I don't want Gibbs saying so and so will be his starter. Then when that changes, if that changes, everyone starts to say "Can we trust Gibbs?". I'd rather Brunell and Campbell and maybe a 3rd QB depending on who go into camp battling for the starting spot.

As Long As We Are Killing Someone, Getting Killed Or Brunell Goes Out With Injury. Thats How We See Campbell.

open competition can't hurt. see who's playing better, let each start two pre season games. brunell doesn't really need a lot of reps at this stage of his career.

The argument will be is he ready to start. Some QB's wait and are good, some start right away and are good.
My impression of Joe Gibbs is he will let a young guy take the controls. Look at his race team as an extreme example and 2 of the three drivers are rookies and they are tarring up the field.
Jason Campbell is a very gifted player with great size and strength. My "guess" is the Coach will tell all QB's in camp it's up for grabs and which ever does better will start.
I say Jason Campbell #17 will be starting at the seasons open.
Poll?
Jason will start 1st week?
Start by week 4?
End the season as starter?
Not be a factor?
Yeah, I'm just buggin and waiting on the season to start at midnight.
Hail Skins!
NeckCAR has nothing to do with football. Brunell will start the first game guaranteed. If it weren't for the b.s. hype that Vick gets, Brunell would have been a probowler.
NeckCAR, LOL

Let's apply the process of elimination.
Al Saunders' plan begins with stretching and spreading the field. I can't see Brunell capable of doing that. Can you?
Therefore, it's Campbell.

Actually I can see him doing that just fine.

According to that logic, Ramsey would probably be the best choice. Gibbs makes the call. Brunell is his boy and he loves vets.

How many intermediate range completions do you remember from last year?
