Campbell or Brunell in 2006?

[hail_2_da_skins]

Brunnel does a good job of managing the game but is incapable of taking the team to the next level. I say lets start developing the young quarterback and give him a shot.

[skindogger47]

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.

I voted for campbell because it said that if he's "ready to go". I think if Gibbs thinks he's ready then why not start the future now. He couldn't do much worse then 120yrds a game....and With saunders on bord, i think our offense wont need him to throw the ball to JUST Moss...Look what Saunders did with the WR in KC. And now he has Moss?????

welcome.

Just so everyone knows i will not be doing any celebrations for two weeks. I decided to have a period of mourning for the skins. so here is a smaller one

Brunell with short leash. As long as Campbell is coming along. Come to think of it...this is a STUPID thread, why do we do this EVERY year? Just for something to talk about?...What happens...happens!!! Al will do what he thinks is right with HIS system. I myself suspect alot will depend on preseason, much like this year. Who the hell knows! Go Skins, Go Gibbs, Go D!!!!

I wouldn't be upset with either, but if he's ready I'd like to see Campbell playing. The difference in arm strength, somewhat similar accuracy, good mobility, and a huge frame which should help him break free of some sacks.

I am part of the anyone but Brunell crew, whoever that may include?

[WestCoastSkinsFan]

I would LIKE to see Campbell come out of camp looking like a million bucks, and then we start him. I don't want him thrust out there without really being ready. This is just wishful thinking, but still.

I say we go with Brunell until he either:
A. Gets injured, because we all know how he plays when he's injured
B. Just generally sucks ass, or does not perform up to expectations.
The reason is, because Campbell has only learned for a year. Give him a few extra games, or another year on the bench, if Brunell can consistently play at a high level. There is no reason to put such a young quarterback out there. In case you don't know who J.P. Losman is, he was a second year quarterback for the Bills this year. They let Bledsoe go because they thought Losman would be ready to go as well. Instead, they wound up with a horrible record and Losman didn't even start the full season because he sucked so bad. I could see the same thing happening to us if we started Campbell on opening day.

But it could be like the Bengals, who benched a solid vet in Kitna to get Palmer playing time in 2004. The teams' and Palmers' performance in 2005 showed that it was probably worth it.

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.

[jdlea]

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.

[CooleyFan]

Why is Patrick Ramsey not getting a chance? I know he's a dumb redneck, but he showed savvy with Spurrier, and we should work on him.. we should have Ramsey and Campbell play out practice to be number 2, and whoever shines through, thats who we should put the job of a long term answer on.

Yeah, he didn't do that with Schroeder and Rypien

Big difference though, Campbell has 1 year under his belt, Ryp and Schroeder were stashed on the Skins roster for alot longer than that before they saw action.
