Re: Campbell or Brunell in 2006?
I want the best quarterback on the field. One who gives us the best shot at not only the playoffs, but bringing home the Super Bowl Trophy. If it's Campbell, that would be awesome! If it's Brunell, just as good! I would love to see Campbell come out and lead this team like an all-pro! That would be great because we know we'd have a guy who could play for us for a number of years...obviously Brunell is in his twilight years as an NFL quarterback. However, if Brunell can lead us to glory next year, I'd be just fine with that!

Phenomenal point about the Bills though, I can easily see the same scenario playing out in DC, and that would really suck. |

Re: Campbell or Brunell in 2006?
There is no way Gibbs will turn a playoff contending team over to an unproven QB. MB will be the starter next year and if he gets another WR will do just fine.

Re: Campbell or Brunell in 2006?
Let's say, though, that the team contends and does the same next year under Brunell? How long do we live and die by him? I'm not even injecting my own opinion, I just want to know when people think we should turn it over to Campbell if we don't do it next year.

Haha....good point! Of course, he didn't have a choice with Schroeder, but Doug Williams - a veteran - won us the Super Bowl! ![]()

Re: Campbell or Brunell in 2006?
Start with Brunell, finish with Campbell. When exactly Campbell comes in will be entirely up to Brunell's performance, but the over/under is 10 games. By then, I feel like Brunell will have enough nagging injuries to make the move to Campbell prudent.

http://www.pro-football-reference.co...s/SchrJa00.htm Rypien's first year in the NFL was 1988. He was the starter for most of 1989. http://www.pro-football-reference.co...s/RypiMa00.htm Now, granted, they were 24 and 26 respectively, and I have no clue what they were doing before then. However, I don't think that makes a difference in proving the point - there is no arguing this shows that Gibbs has demonstrated he isn't afraid to start inexperienced QBs that he believes in. |

Re: Campbell or Brunell in 2006?
Brunell still has some gas left, they'll look to surround him with a few more weapons and with an upgraded scheme with Saunders now aboard I see Brunell starting off the year as the starter again.

http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1064 Same deal with Schroeder, stashed on IR in 1984. He was taken in the 3rd round in '84. http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/years/1984 Yeah I know we're splitting hairs here, point is they both still had more experience than Campbell would if he were to play next year. |

All I know is that was a frequent trick of Gibbs back then, to stash a player on IR. Ryp was actually hurt in '87 though, so he might have been on IR for a good reason. |
