boobiemiles Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I didn't see this post anywhere. I was thinking about who is backing up Ramsey, and whose third string? Most scouts feel Campbell is two years away from being a full time starter. We can only hope Musgrave can help Campbell develope sooner. When you think about it, Ramsey is the true starter. It's his job to loose. But who is will enter training camp as the number #2? Brunell has a big contract. I would hate to see him as the third sting QB making close to 5 mil a year...ouch. If Ramsey gets hurt do you think Gibbs would really send Campbell in the game over Brunell? How far has Brunell fallen off? Has his skills deminish that much that a rookie QB gives us a better chance to win a game? What about Hassellbeck. He seems like we could squeeze a few wins out of him. That Bruhell deal looks worst everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMat184 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I can't see Gibbs making Brunell a 3rd string QB when he said he has a bright future with the team. If Campbell lights the world on fire in minicamp and preaseason though he may have to change his stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbob74 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Brunell is still the #2 IMO, Gibbs wouldn't want to put Campbell in until he feels he is fully ready. It's more than likely that Brunell hits the road after this season meaning Campbell moves up to #2 and if the season is over early either due to a bad record or play-off possition assured then Campbell may more up to #2 for a few games to give him some snaps.

Thiebear Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Brunell for sure... Campbell is to be groomed until the 2nd stringer shows he can't do that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Brunell is backup for now, Campbell has to be groomed. Preseason and training camp glimpses do not equal starter or higher backup. Look at Taylor, had to wait a little while, despite participating through most of training camp/preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohioskinfan Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I want to see which qb we sign in the draft next year? Unless we find a way to keep Hass, i see Brunnell being released June 1st 2006. Some choices might be taken care of if brunnell takes a huge paycut, and agrees to stay, but i understand he wants to be a starter somewhere.

Tarhog Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hasn't Gibbs pretty much stated emphatically all along that Ramseys the starter, and Brunell's the back-up? Theres no question about that according to Gibbs. Only something earth-shattering in training camp is going to change that. I think thats why you haven't seen a thread about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Its Brunell. Or, what Tarhog said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golgo-13 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 It's either Brunell or Trung Candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNatsFan Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Personally, I listen to Coach Gibbs about things like this. He kinda makes that call and he's made it very clear that Brunell is Ramsey's backup. Gibbs may be deceptive at times, to keep other teams guessing, but when he addresses something clearly and specifically, again and again, I don't see it as something that's actually up for speculation.

SittingBull Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Im hoping Gibbs meant Brunnell had a bright future here as an assistant coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could use some coaching assistants who are really smart, courageous, and fight their guts out watching film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure when he's released next year his phone will be ringing off the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebowski Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 every reprt on Campbell I have read says that he needs a couple years of grooming(holding the clipboard) before he can contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
