Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation

[The Zimmermans]

Some guys dont look good at practice but show up on gameday, hopefully he is one of them.

[The Zimmermans]

we should have snyder hire a high priced sergean to take brunell's brain and insert it into campbell's head, then we would have the qb we are dreaming of.

Well the current starters DID look good in practice and rarely showed up for game day.... so maybe you are righ!

Let's say Campbell is horrible in 6 out of his 7 starts. Would you go out and find someone to compete with him in the offseason?

I wouldn't.

If Campbell is horrible is his first 3 starts there wont be a 4th.

Time to find out if that's the case and remember Collinsworth hates the Redskins and himself because deep down he knows that he is in love with Bob Costas.

Why? If he loses his first 3 starts, who's going to start vs. Phili?

Randle El?

That'd be redick. Also impossible.

First I've heard of this, but it sounds like hogwash to me. There's really no way to guage how a QB will play until you let him play. And the only person wishing for Brunell is the groundskeeper, who probably worked a lot of overtime replacing the divots from the balls MB bounced in the dirt in front of wide open receivers.

One thing is for sure, it won't be long before we begin to find out whether he can play or not. It's rather hard to believe someone within the organization would make a statement like that about a young man about to make his first start in the NFL. Sounds more appropiate coming from some one who just want's to see him fail.

... I have a feeling you all are going to respect MB a whole lot more over the next few weeks....

Who will start vs Philly? Thats easy, Brunell. Gibbs will give us some line of bull about Mark being rested and giving us the best chance to win. I have said it in other threads, we have not seen the last of Brunell.

I dunno, I think it may be credible. First, most scouts said it would take Campbell 2 years to develop into a starter. Second, most of the comments I've heard about Campbell from other Redskins (save Randy Thomas) have been less than glowing. They haven't said anything bad, but they're not saying how he's going to be "great." Rabach said Campbell looks "decent." Every comment about Campbell seems to be, "he's a great athlete, it's just a question of whether he can handle to mental aspect of the game."

Nevertheless, I could care less what others think. I'll wait until I see him on the field.

Not if we are out of the playoff race.

If Campbell was horrid and we won three games to get to 6-6 (behind a resurgent defense...somehow), then maybe. Other then that exclusive scenario, or injury, we've seen the last of Brunell this season.

I wouldnt bet my college fund on that if I was you.

That's pretty much my take as well SGG. He's going to start the game for us on Sunday and we'll all be watching to draw our own conclusions. He'll have to prove to us through his play what they say about him is either right or wrong.
