Who starts at QB?

really? so i guess that means that jacobs really is an amazing receiver after all, and that royal is a super smart guy fighting his guts out and has great hands. or that brunell (circa 2004) wasn't doing anything at all wrong, even though he couldn't hit wide open guys 6 yards down the field.

gibbs has a bad habit of publicly blowing sh*t up his player's @$$es on a regular basis. people just believe it cause they want to.

I hope campbell is amazing, but being talked up by this staff is worthless and means nothing based on past experiences.

I don't remember Gibbs ever saying that Jacobs was a great receiver, I remember him saying that he had a lot of potential. You'll have to show me that comment. Royal did fight his guts out, worked really hard, and had good hands except for that one game. Gibbs just didn't mention the things that limit him, like his speed, strength, and agility which affects blocking skills. But Royal did work really hard. Brunell circa 2004 wasn't doing anything wrong man, it was his injury causing the problems. That's what Gibbs was getting at with that comment.

He doesn't blow smoke. He chooses his comments very carefully. He says positive things when he can, and doesn't talk about the players' limitations.

His comments regarding Campbell have pretty much covered the gamut of every skill and attribute you'd want in your QB. It was glowing.

All you Salary Cap Gurus out there, is Jason Campbell due any kind of bonus for playing as early as 2006 that the Redskins would avoid by not playing him until 2007?

I'm not saying that that's going to decide who will play in '06, I'm just curious.

Not sure, I don't know what the incentives are in that puppy.

I think it's funny that people seem to question Gibbs' ability to evaluate QBs.

He seems to know a thing or two when it comes to choosing his signal caller if you ask me.

Yes, the record is impeccable: Theismann, Schroeder, Williams, Rypien, Brunell.

And didn't he choose Stan Humphries as well?

Yeah but remember he let him go to SD and stuck with Rypien who only had 28 TD passes and was a SB MVP. :rolleyes:

I think that Schefter could be making some of these details up. Since the team lost in the playoffs, there have been approximately zero OTA's, camps, drills, or practices. It would be difficult to gauge Campbell's progress then, wouldn't it? The head coach has been raving about Campbell's ability and maturity, so perhaps his opinion differs from Mr. Schefter's.

Are you talking about drafting them? Theisman was already here (George Allen). Beathard selected Schroeder, Humphries, and Rypien with fifth and sixth round draft choices.

Joe dealt Schroeder and Humphries away after Beathard left (later admitting that he was wrong about Humphries who started and played fairly well for San Diego).

Brunell and Campbell were selected by Gibbs, of course. I'm not sure who picked williams.

Gibbs had heavy input on those picks. You're right on Theismann though, he was inherited.

Gibbs basically had no input at all. I think Bethard ran the team, and JKC actually called the offense, and was BU on Punt return as well. Naturally, Riggins was quality control Mgr, and HR
