The Redskins decided after 9 games this season that it was the right time to get a glimpse of the near future when they benched Mark Brunell and elevated Jason Campbell to the starting line-up.  Campbell started the last 7 games of the season and he completed 110 of 207 passes (53.1%) for 1,297 yards with 10 TD passes and 6 interceptions (76.5 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 24 times for 107 yards (4.5 ypc). 

Mark Brunell played in 10 games (9 starts) and he completed 162 of 260 passes (62.3%) for 1,789 yards with 8 TD passes and 4 interceptions (86.5 QB Rating).  He also ran the ball 13 times for 34 yards (2.6 ypc).  For his career, Brunell has played in 157 games (150 starts) and he’s completed 2,738 of 4,594 passes (59.6%) for 31,826 yards with 182 TD passes and 106 interceptions (84.2 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 509 times for 2,433 yards (4.8 ypc) with 15 TD runs.

The Redskins really need to put more trick plays into the offense to take advantage of Antwaan Randle El’s throwing ability.  For the Redskins this season, he completed 2 of 3 passes (66.7%) for 88 yards with 1 TD pass (149.3 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 19 times for 118 yards (6.2 ypc).  For his career, Randle El has completed 16 of 19 passes (84.2%) for 216 yards with 3 TD passes (153.6 QB Rating).  He also has carried the football 73 times for 434 yards (5.9 ypc).
