Compare that with what MB did:
17/28/163 with 0 fumbles, sacks or INTs.
Sure, not Peyton like numbers, but he sure wasn't the reason why we lost.

First of all, the more knowledgeable among us already know that Betts isn't starter material. I've personally stated that he's not the "bruising power runner" that a lot of people seem to think he is, so his perfomance is about what I expected.
As far as pointing out Brunells' numbers; all but maybe one of the third down plays were passes, so the 4/13 on third down was mostly him throwing it away.
And as far as Campbell playing, I don't think that's a good idea just yet. While I think the offense will far more dynamic with him running the show, there will still be a learning curve, and if he doesn't perform well by his second start, everyone will be screaming that he was a wasted pick. The only way Campbell will see the field is if Brunell gets injured, or if he's still playing in week nine, like he played Monday, and there's no chance for a playoff run. At that point, I could see Gibbs making the switch.
