Joe Gibbs: "Campbell is ready to play"!

No matter who is in at QB if the Skins are losing they are losing. It's as simple as that. Campbell could turn out to be the greatest QB of all time but if he looked like garbage for 2 straight years that would be 2 years of begging for the back-up to come in.

this whole thing makes me laugh. if Campbell would start against Dallas, and throw 3 interceptions, and really suck, then people around here would be calling for Collins to start. and ripping Gibbs for picking Campbell in the draft

I doubt you're right.

We'll be much more patient with a young QB than an old QB.

The backup QB is always the more popular QB amongst the fans. If Campbell looked horrible the whole season, I doubt we'd be very patient with him the following season.

I would tend to agree. Patience doesn't seem to be a virtue among many here. There are already those who say that Campbell must be a bust anyway, otherwise he would be playing already. Bottom line is, as has been said, the backups and the ones that got away always seem to be the "best" choices.

i totally disagree. if Campbell started and stunk up the field, we'd all attribute it to youth and inexperience and we'd expect him only to get better. that's the benefit of youth. something no one could say about Brunell.

remember how patient fans were with Ramsey (and not Gibbs), they all expected him to just get better with experience but alas he never got the chance to lose (and learn from) as many games as Brunell has.

True enough. We gave Ramsey a ZILLION free passes.

Not everyone would attribute it to youth. We both know there are those here who called JC a bad pick from the start and are chomping at the bit to say look at how horrible our talent evaluation is, and we mortgaged the future for a mid-level (at best) QB.

my point is, our perception of where this season is heading, and coach Gibbs' perception are 2 totally different things. we see doom and gloom, and the coaching staff see them tweaking a couple of things and righting the ship. there is no way Campbell gets on the field this year unless brunell gets hurt, or the redskins are mathematically eliminated

Well if that's true we are going to have to draw straws to see who gets to put him out of commishion.

True enough. We gave Ramsey a ZILLION free passes.

True enough Gibbs gave him at least 900 seconds.
