Supreme Wu Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I don't want this to be twisted into somehow advocating starting Campbell immediately, because I'm not. The thing is, we're all obviously reading and hearing some things that must make one wonder, is Campbell really the future of THIS team? Will he actually be starting next year? It's going to be his 3rd year at that point and he won't have taken a regular season snap -- while QBs that were drafted this year are starting games already. I understand other teams are much worse off at the QB position and are forced into playing their rookie QBs, but the fact remains that they are starting on their careers well before Campbell despite being drafted 1 year later. We know he's been patient, but when do you think that patience runs out? When does he demand a trade? Most importantly, in your mind, is Campbell a lock to start next season? What if Brunell takes this team deep into the playoffs or even all the way and wins the big one? Does your prediction change in that scenario? Just a hypothetical discussion, please don't start bashing Brunell that's not what this is about at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natem985 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Definitely not, if only due to Gibbs' loyalty to Brunell The only way I see it being a lock is if Brunell retires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaDRoc Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Nothing is ever a lock a year beforehand, but I would say there is a very good chance of Campbell being our Qb at the start of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinzOwnU Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 If campbell does not start next season, then we will have basically wasted an entire draft's worth of picks over the past year for absolutely nothing.

BleedBNG Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Brunell would have to win the NFC Championship game to come back as the starter for next year, if he wanted to. Anything less.. it's Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Skins Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I think it will be Brunell. Just my gut. Wait and see how this season plays out is probably the best answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEArmchairQB Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 God I hope he finally gets on the field. I love Brunell and have his back around this board, but I cannnot wait to see how Campbell can run the offense. I hope that surrounding him with so much talent at the skill positions will make his tansition easier. While I am all for Brunell right now, I can't wait until I can wear a #17 jersey, I really have a good feeling about him. I think not seeing a snap for the first 1 year and 5 and counting games of his career will prove to be a good thing for him. I think sitting behind a veteran QB, surrounded by offensive masterminds, and the ultimate QB guru has really given this kid a chance to be great for us. Remember, he is a national champion caliber QB who went undefeated his senior year. I can't wait for #17, I hope it's a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow184 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 brunell's arm was good last season when he stepped into his throws this season even when he steps into his throws they float a little campbell needs to be starting by next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clathel Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 JC will start well before then....when we are 2-6 he will start this year...and MB will retire because his legs hurt too much....They are already killing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDQForums Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 JC will start well before then....when we are 2-6 he will start this year...and MB will retire because his legs hurt too much....They are already killing us. Well aren't you optimistic in our team's record.... :doh: No it's not a lock. A lot depends on what happens the rest of this season AND the off season. Hell for all we know, we could end up trading him for a corner back *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyburd Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 We will never know unless we go to 2-6, or 3-7. Then I think you have to put the kid in. I do want to see JC get to compete for the starter next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallntfox Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 You know...I was wondering the same thing while watching MNF last night. They said it was a foregone conclusion that Plummer would be traded and Cutler would start for Denver next year. Plummer led his team to the AFC title game last year but definitely is weak at this point. Is Cutler that much better than Campbell or is Plummer that much worse than Brunell that it's already "decided" in Denver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUskins Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 No way to say but I think we see Brunell out there in a wheel chair if needed rather than take a chance on someone younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeysc23 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 They had better start Campbell. What is the point of wasting those draft pics if you aren't even going to let him touch the ball. We need to take the risk of a rookie occasionally making mistakes. A QB does not become Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or anyother great QB by sitting on the bench year after year.

Rumrunner6900 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 My thoughts have always been that this year would be "the" year. Brunell would lead us.... get us.... ok.......manage his way to a Super Bowl. Then he could retire at the top and ride off into the sunset and let Campbell take over. The season is in no way over now, but I think my scenario has been blown out of the water. To be continued.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Gibbs Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 If campbell does not start next season, then we will have basically wasted an entire draft's worth of picks over the past year for absolutely nothing. (See Duckett, Lloyd, and Campbell draft trades) That about sums it up for me. Especially if Duckett walks after this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageForce21 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I certainly hope he's a lock to start in the coaches' minds. We have to see what he can do as the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mi6 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 No! If Gibbs has his way, he would have Mark Boonell start for another 5 years! Gibbs is stubborn, and sticks with the players he has selected for a long time -- even if they are unproductive. Mark Boonell, and John Hall are great examples! What's worse - is that if you get on his ****ty side, we will pull you as soon as you make one bad play. Just ask Patrick Ramsey. He had one series to play as a starter, and then was pulled in favor for Mark. I thought Mark was a poor choice for the Skins then, and think he is a horrible choice now! :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozskin Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Senario 1- The season continues as is, Campbell will start for sure. Senario 2- We go on a massive win streak and go deep in playoffs, Brunell will most likely stay on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck812 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 This team isnt very good right now so, unless we see a big improvment soon, I could see him getting some playing time this year then start next. Nothing is a lock though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankRizzo Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 nothing is a lock in the NFL. Just look at Volek. With McNair gone, he was a lock to start in Tenn, and look at what happened there. But for my sanity's sake, I just hope Brunell isn't back...that's all I ask. I'd almost rather have Shane Matthews back :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsLifer' Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I don't want to be all gloom and doom.. but has anybody thought about the possibility that JC just isn't very good and the coaches know it and they want to keep his trade value high by keeping him off the field to most likely get another veteran QB after MB is gone. I personally think that is a much more likely scenario than JC starting next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think that is a much more likely scenario than JC starting next year. Who's going to trade for JC? He doesn't have 1/10th the buzz that Rivers had and quite frankly we reached to pick him in the first round. He has no trade value because we have no one that's really pressing to take the job from him long term. If we go to move him, everyone will know why we're trying to move him.
