Just what we need, a QB with even less mobility than Brunell. As for Saunders, I hope he returns and continues to preach his proven methods. I would be disappointed if Campbell finishes the season decently and isn't given first crack as the #1 QB. We gave up far too much to not figure out what we have there.

Both predictions have a zero percent possibility of happening. Al Saunder's offense takes about 3 years to pick up, and we traded two first rounders plus alot more for Campbell, and the third year is when the QB is supposed to be ready.

Actually we "only" traded our 2005 3rd and 2006 1st and 4th for Campbell. That's still a steep price that should dictate playing him to see what he can do.

is leftwich even any good. i mean he's okay but i definitely don't want to see him here. he'll probably be asking for a lot too.
the question is, are we going to pay the man like we normally do?

my bad i was getting confused with us trading 2 2nds and a 6th for McIntosh in the 2nd, man we seriously gotta stop overpaying for shit.

I remember first hearing rumors we might TRADE for Brunell (remember this is when most observers believed the team's future to lie with Ramsey) and I said no way, that's crazy.
You just never know with this team. I can see Gibbs now being like, we decided to go with the veteran (Leftwhich). He's tough as nails, a real fighter. He's gonna teach Jason a lot of things. Ah shucks, I wish we could play both of them.

Last night during the John Thompson show on Sports Talk 980, Doc Walker made some pretty bold predictions about next year. I'd say 80% of the stuff he says about the Skins is negative, but he was pretty adament last night about how these two following predictions are going to come true next year. A) Byron Leftwich is going to play for the Skins. B) Al Saunders will no longer be with the team. I really hope that neither one of these predictions is true, and they do sound a little far fetched to me. I don't see how bringing in Leftwich is a good idea, that would just cause another QB controversey, and I hope the Redskins can atleast give Saunders another try because God knows what happens when he keep changing personel. What does everyone else think? What does everyone think of Doc Walker in general?
That would be just plain retarded. It would only succeed in furthering our reputation as the laughing stocks of the NFL. Give up on our 1st round QB after half a season and fire our multi-million $ "savior" of the offense. I don't think I've ever heard Doc but it sounds like he's an idiot to me.

I think Doc is trying to make some bold predictions, but it doesn't seem like he has any more inside info than J. Laconfora at the washpost, i.e. I wouldn't put much faith in his predictions based on past experience.
How did his prediction look after the first quarter?
Doc has access that LaCanfora can only dream of (plus he doesn't work for the Post which is an automatic leg up). First of all Doc is in the fraternity (he is an original member of the hogs and architect of the funbunch, not to mention, he sealed the edge on 70 chip). He has addressed the team before big games and his passion for the Burgandy and Gold is second to none. When he criticizes the team it is because he hurts when they lose.
He also does a weekly radio show with Big Joe and they talk to Portis every week. I guarantee that he has several good sources on the team.
Bringing in Leftwich doesn't seem so far-fetched. He is a traditional pocket passer and a Veteran.
Saunders gone. While I don't want to see it, it seems very natural given all of the blame that he is receiving.

if Snyder and Co still haven't learned their lessons about continuity and free agent splashes...then we'll never win again until he's dead...as far as AS goes, losing him wouldn't be as bad as everyone says. 1. Most of the offense already knows Joe's offense. 2. Gibbs has a MUCH smaller playbook. 3. Much of what Gibbs does is already being used this season. That being said, I still don't want the man to leave.
