Take 70Chip's Mark Brunell Rorshock Test

I'm in the #2 camp. It's time for a change, for all the reasons that everyone else has already given.

LOL I'm sure you don't think that Campbell is a lifesaver.

The message to the team is to fight to the bitter end. The coaches will learn alot about these guys over the next few weeks and will probably go a long way in shaping the team next year.

oh i know he isn't a lifesaver, he won't fix the defense. he may be able to score some more or keep them off the field a bit more, but he won't fix it.

JC still represents hope though, something the fans and the team have simply lost to this point. Everything JC would do, would be a step for the future. Brunell inspires nothing but frustration to everybody, and i don't know why the team would want to fight and risk injury on a lame duck quarterback who's helped put them in this position.

i noticed you only agreed to one of Tripp's paragraphs, what did you think about the rest? do you think we OWE Brunell a better departure than that?

How are you going to prove it? By saying someone is 10 times better?

Brilliant.

Nothing ridiculous there.

No one ever exaggerates on the site do they Matty?

Hey, at least I will show that I will fight!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

well at least you are consistent, all of your posts are exaggerations (of reality)

what do you mean?

I previously thought that the best thing to do with Campbell was to wait until the Skins had 7 losses and then start him. They would be completely out of playoff contention so why not at that point.

However, after watching Brunell yesterday, it's an insult (or indict to Campbell not to start him know. How can Campbell not give us a better chance to win than Brunell?

The facts on Brunell are plain and simple--he is not that mobile anymore and he is limited in the type of throws he can make. He limits his mistakes mostly by taking high percentage dumpoffs (either due to lack of his own confidence, in ability or scheme, or lack of confidence by his OC). Finally, he plays to avoid contact. This is the most troubling because even older QBs like Favre, Johnson, and Bledsoe stand in the pocket and deliver the ball while getting drilled.

If Campbell cannot at least do what Brunell offers--then we should all be very worried about Campbell. What Gibbs is then saying is they made a mistake in trading up to draft him. If Campbell is not ready now, with the current QB play, then I can only conclude that he is a bust (if I trust the coaches).

JC still represents hope though, something the fans and the team have simply lost to this point. Everything JC would do, would be a step for the future. Brunell inspires nothing but frustration to everybody, and i don't know why the team would want to fight and risk injury on a lame duck quarterback who's helped put them in this position.

oop except Betts. Betts LOOOVES Brunell. he's his golden ticket off this team.

what do you mean?

you only agreed with one of his paragraphs. Tripp stated a slew of (non-statistical, but not untrue) reasons for Brunell's performance yesterday, and why, the Skins as a franchise, owe it to Brunell to start him next week.

as a notable Brunell defender in recent games, i wondered what you thought about us owing Brunell another start or had any reason for him to start next week really.

Where is Tripp's post?

I'm still a #3 because absolutely no QB in the league would have won this game for us, but Brunell was dreadful today. He was put in the worst possible conditions (Bad weather, on the road, in the division, Portis out, trailing early, questionable playcalling, defensive scheme that attacks) and played exactly the way I would expect a guy put in those conditions to play. Ties the first Dallas game for ineptitude, although the deck was stacked heavily against him. The interception should never have been thrown.

I wouldn't make the switch this week for multiple reasons. Number 1, you don't want to break Jason Campbell in on the road when the team isn't playing well. Number 2, it would be a significant injustice to Mark Brunell to bench him after forcing him into the situation that the coaching staff and team did. Number 3, we will never play another game that is this difficult to win this season. So although we have next to nil chance to win the division, a wild card berth is a possibility if we win out against a schedule where we have all of our tough games at home, where weve been right in every contest over the last two seasons. It still would be a bad decision to try to have Campbell save the season.

The switch is certainly on the horizion though. If we as a team can't beat Tampa Bay, the switch should be made. I'm guessing this is the way Gibbs is thinking right now.

But if you are relying on a 2nd year inexpirenced player to save the franchise, you have another thing coming.

this was the first Tripp post had after the game, kinda out of left field (he said he was just expressing the opposite view) and riled a lot of people up.
