Whats your thoughts on Joe Gibb's QB decision

[H-O-G]

What do you guys think about his decision on the QB situation? I personally feel that it shows Jason Campbell is just short of being the backup. If he gameplans with the coaches he would be fine. I think this is really genious! For those who haven't heard, Joe Gibbs said in his press conference, this is how he would handle the #2 QB job.

a) If Brunell goes down during a game, Collins steps in for Brunell.

b) If Brunell is out for a week or so, and Campbell has a week to gameplan, he will be the starter.

What I think is that, if Brunell goes out, and Collins comes in and looks extremely good, he's going to start the next week. I don't care what Gibbs current 'plan' is. Gibbs is going to put whomever he thinks gives us the best chance in there.

I think he's trying to take a little of the pressure off Campbell, which is a good thing...

I think that for me to think I know more about the QB situation than Joe Gibbs would be like him thinking he knows more than me about my porn collection - it's just not going to happen!

My own uneducated opinion still thinks this is a pretty rad idea, though. Unconventional, but what really hasn't been lately?

Good point. Joe Gibbs did mention that this was his plan as of now, and it could always change. Although, the chances of Collins stepping in and doing extremely well against the first unit defense is well...

Although Collins did look decent against the 4th stringers on the Ravens defense

As long as the best guy is in, Im alright with it

Flawless, and it's what we've been talking about in some other threads. I like it.

This is what I've been saying pretty much the whole off-season. I think he got it right. Or maybe I should say, I'm glad he agrees with me, because I am sure Gibbs and his staff know more than I do about this situation. I'm just happy that they seem to like what they see from Jason.

i think gibbs is saving the ARE TD pass for a time when collins is behind center...its bound to happen anyways

I'm not a huge collins supporter but I think hes been catchin a bit to much heat. If your gonna mention the 4th string defense, remember, he had 4th string recievers, RBs, and the O-line. I'm just sayin.

As for gibbs decision. I liked it.

Alright i thought i was going to make a seperate therad on this but what if


#1. we are fighting for maybe a playoff spot or home field advantage, do we still start campbell?

#2. we are winning 44-10 and do we insert collins for mop up duty?


#3. we have no chance in winning the game maybe 36-0, collins coming in to finish it?

Not to mention that in that last game Collins actually looked pretty good.

/This is an excellent and also an intelligent decision. Jason needs time to adjust to a completely new scheme and he needs to form a "sense of timing" with his receivers and rb's. He has only worked with Al Saunders for a very short time and this limits his effectiveness. My hopes are that he doesn't become lethargic and lose his focus.
Todd is familiar with the offense and he doesn't need to "second guess", he showed-up in the final pre-season game !!.

In other words its a cop out. If Collins plays well, he just changes his mind and starts Collins. If Collins plays poorly, he goes with the plan. Pretty smart if you ask me.
