All I am saying now is that it might be time to reassess the decision. Brunell has played poorly in three of the past five games, and had led us to a 2-5 mark in the past seven games. He has six fumbles in the past six games. (Gibbs used to jump all over Ramsey for fumbling.)

I know it's not all on Brunell, and I hope he has a great game in the do-or-die bout with the Bolts. But, right now our record speaks for itself. We're a .500 team with an all right QB.

There is no way possible that Patrick Ramsey is going to come in and be the same efficient leader that Mark Brunell has been. There is no way the Jason campbell comes in and outplays Mark Brunell; he doesn't have the experience level to do it yet. I don't think Brunell played poorly against the Eagles. In fact, I thought he played a heck of a game. I also dont' believe he played poorly against the Bucs, you have to put that loss on our defense and their defense. The only games that Brunell has played poorly in since his start has been the Giants game and yesterday's game. Even in yesterday's game, I would say calling his play poor is completely accurate. It wasn't as good as his other games, it was about a 50-50 game.

Mark Brunell gives us the best chance to win. He still does. There are so many variables that goes into the equation of why this team is only at 5-5 right now, and it isn't all on Mark Brunell nor Gibbs' decision to start him. Starting Jason Campbell now signifies that you give up on this season with six games left to play and a .500 record. Jason Campbell will get eaten alive, and we will end the season at 5-11. I'm not okay with that. If we end the season at that record with Brunell playing the whole way, then fine, let's start the young guy, but why on earth would anybody consider starting Campbell when you're 5-5, six games to go? It doesn't add up.
