How could people possibly show patience around here????? we've made the playoffs twice since 92 (and barely, 10-6 both years), meanwhile our divsion has been garbage every since the cowboys dynasty ended, but we managed to do nothing. The fans have been patient with gibbs in his second stint, However, patience right now would be unwarrented due to the fact that the skins are digging themselves a deep deep hole right now. We always seem to manage 7 victories or so to prevent panick, maybe a terrible season is what we need to identify the need for an overhaul. I still love watching the skins, even if I only get the joy of 6-8 wins per year. Last year was a dream for me........we went 10-6 haha.

It's difficult for us as fans to think of Campbell going into his 3rd season with US having no clue what he can do but...even if we have no clue that doesn't mean the coaching staff has no clue. Gibbs in the past has let young QB's watch and learn then thrown them into the fire to see them atleast have moderate success(Rypien instantly comes to mind)...because he knew what they could do even if we didn't.
Still I would love to see Campbell ASAP cause Brunell is taking us nowhere and either is Collins so sooner or later the move has to be made to find a successer...the sooner the better IMO.

Gibbs saying Campbell is ready to play is such a non issue...what's he supposed to say? Oh he sucks...he needs another year on the bench...of course he will say he's ready to play. Unless Gibbs makes a comment about Brunell not getting the job done we are never going to see cambell.

No, he'd say, "He's looking OK, but he still has some work to do."

I believe this as much as I believed Gibbs when he said Ramsey was his starter.

Everyone should just chill out. Jason is going to struggle just like every young QB. It is going to take time for him to start playing well. This is why they just should have let him be the starter after the Seatlle game last year. That way he would have gotten all the off-season work. Look what Cinn. did to Kitna after he threw 26 td's and 14 ints. He got the hook!

He got the hook!He did get the hook and it set the Bengals back one season, something we really couldn't afford to do the way we attacked the cap.
In retrospect, it probably would have been best to give him the job in February, but hindsight is 20/20.
Right now, all that matters is beating Dallas.

Gibbs had that luxary during his first tenure of bringing QB's along that way, but time has changed all that. We cannot compare Rypien, Schroeder, and Humphries with Jason Campbell simply because none of these players were drafted in the first round with other picks involved. Therefore it was easier to wait on these type players because not a lot was expected of them at the time, plus they had a good experienced QB playing ahead of them. There is more expected from Jason, that's why most of us want to see what he can do, sooner than later.

Joe Gibbs just released a statement saying he would start Campbell, but Campbell declined an invite to eat dinner at Gibbs' house and Gibbs feels he'd be letting him off the hook.

Got that right!
Who knows if the kid is really ready, but Gibbs can't continue to say he is not, the longer Campbell is on the bench the worse the pick looks. Tough to explain to people that a player you gave up so much for can't outplay MB.
