Aight, everyone is jumping all over this, so I'll clarify what I meant. I never said that Campbell is not the future, I never said bring in Collins, I never said I think he is bad, all I said is I thought he had his worst game this season. There were lots of things in this game that showed that he has alot of promise, ie his pass selection, calmness, mobility, poise, but when he misses 6 wide open recievers, I think that is terrible. Once he gets his accuracy down, he'll be a stud, but 6 easy misses is ridiculous.
Actually I believe your statement was that JC played "like absolute shit today." Clearly almost everyone here disagrees.
Nobody is putting words in your mouth - perhaps you initially overstated just how bad you thought he played.
For a kid playing in his 5th NFL game, I'd say he looked just how you'd expect a talented but young QB to look. Sure he missed some throws, missed some open receivers. He also landed some beauties and had a few dropped by receivers.
He's young, making some mistakes but steadily improving. Watch guys like Phillip Rivers on Sunday, or Alex Smith all last season, and we're really doing a hell of a lot better than some teams with young QBs.

I might add to that, Eli is still looking like a rookie, and he's in what his third year?
I think people forget that Campbell basically went from third string to starting. It's really not very often that a guy leap frogs the second string right into live action.

There are two things that happened this season that's got me excited about the Redskins future. 1) The play of Jason Campbell and 2) the running of Ladell Betts. Campbell is progressing nicely and Betts has proven that he is a very capable back. The best thing about it is I'll get to see JC live for the first time this weekend when the Skins come to St Louis. Usually when the Skins come to town, we end up singing Hail to the Redskins at the end of the game.

He was OK today but I have some concerns 1. He drops back like he is on Madden. He drops ten yards to throw it five. As he ages his arm strenght will not be able to get him through. 2. He needs to put some touch on the ball and don't gun it everywhere.
He's not Mark Brunell........his arm doesn't get weaker every year. Most Qb's keep their arms........and many pitchers as well (roger clemens). He dropped back this week cause he could, the O-line was awesome, he adjusts when there's pressure. Also, he has been adjusting his throws depending on distance more and more if you noticed. Those throws at the end of the half were sailing out of bounds becuase he was being overly cautious, didn't wanna throw a pick 6 on an out rout at end of half.

I think Campbell's throwing has a lot in common with my 4-year-old son's peeing.
1) They both have good velocity.
2) Their aim can be improved.
3) I expect them to do much better with practice.

LOL, aim always seems to be an issue with us guys.

I guess that's why Romo has such good accuracy: it helps when you sit down to pee.
