Thrown to the Dogs? He is paid to be a starting QB and has had 1 1/2 years to prepare for this day. Thats not throwing him to the dogs.
I agree.
He has to play sometime.
It's sink or swim time.

I think Jason Campbell is such a big difference from Mark Brunell it will be an advantage for the Redskins. The Bucs will not have any material to prepare with. If Brunell was starting, you can play tight coverage, bring up the safeties and stop the run because Brunell is not going to throw over the top. Now with Campbell, that wouldn't be a good strategy. Chances are he will see a lot of blitzes and zone coverage. That should open up the running game and the intermediate passes. I see the Skins winning a close game 27-21 with Campbell having a decent day 200 yards passing with a bomb to Moss and no interceptions. Betts and Duckett will have a good day on the ground with a touchdown apiece.

doesnt matter how he does agains the bucs.. campbell is in for one hell of a test. eagles, falcons, saints, giants.. talk about being thrown to the dogs.. we need to make some major GM moves to make anything work for next year.
It's better than testing him in Week 1 of next year without an already-lost season.
I don't care how bad his stats look, we must keep him in for the rest of the year to get him experience to completely take over our future next year. I'm very excited to see him in a REAL game finally.
Oh, adding to that "thrown to the dogs" sentiment...he's doing it without Clinton Portis too. More pressure on him.
I really hope Duckett can block better than Betts.

Good thinking...I really do think that "surprise" advantage will help us. NO ONE has any pro gametape to look at. Preseason can't really help, the plays were probably scripted.

Campbell shows us why he should have been the QB from the start.
We win, we win BIG.
