Why not keep the move a secret?

What is the advantage of announcing this decision on a Monday? Couldn't we gain a competitive edge by springing this on the Bucs come game time? Now they have an entire week to make whatever adjustments they deem necessary.

There's no way the press wouldn't get wind of it, being at Redskins Park and all.

I suppose you're right. You would have to send about 50 reporters to Gitmo, which might raise eyebrows.

Well, like I said in the Collins vs. Campbell thread. I really thought Campbell's debut wouldn't be as a starter.

I guess the advantage is it's done, it's out there in the open and the team can just focus on the game now for the most part.

Also, I heard that Gibbs was tired of reading all the threads covering the same issue of Brunell on this board.

Well what is there to look at? JC has never had an NFL start, so there really only college and preseason stuff to look at.

Also why be scared about it? Just come out and say JC is the guy instead of pussy footing around.

let me ask this: does it really make that muc of a difference who plays? i understand it wll make a difference but not that much, the qb still throws the ball

Plus the Bucks don't know what to prepare for anyway because they have no film on Campbell. They don't know his strengths or weaknesses, so it'll be difficult preparing for the unknown.

They know that he is not Mark Brunell. It would be interesting to see how Campbell played against a defensive scheme designed for Brunell.

Question: Will the Bucs be more or less likely to blitz and why?

I say they would have blitzed Brunell because he can't handle it very well and they will blitz Campbell because he's green, so I guess I have just squashed the basic premise of my own thread. That's where thinking things through takes you.

and we get to scout them on monday night football isnt that great!
