Seriously, in 7 games starting, JC showed more pocket presence than Ramsey ever had. (Yes - I went there)(BTW - I liked Ramsey).
HAHA. That's exactly what I thought. I actually thought
"Huh? JC always looked real comfortable...well maybe I am just comparing him to Ramsey who has that Sixth Sense look in his eyes all the time. Nah he looked good to me."

I agree w/all who disagree w/Clayton's statement about presence. Don't get that one, but then again clayton is a stat geek who tends to rely or fall back on #s rather than observation & evaluation of fundamentals.
He got one thing right, it's Campbell's team & that will be the story to watch.

ESPN - Clayton: NFC story lines heading into training camp - NFL (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp07/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2947420)
Washington Redskins (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=was) -- Players have been raving about the development of quarterback Jason Campbell (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=7201). He has had an excellent offseason, but outsiders have to see how he is developing as a starter. Campbell didn't have a great pocket presence in his first year, but he was in a tough spot. Now, this is his team and his time to prove his ability.
Didn't have a good pocket presence? Did they miss NFL Replay against the Giants? That game wasn't an isolated example either. He has GREAT pocket presence. He's nearly impossible to bring down when under pressure too.

Yeah, I thought that was a little weirdly stated too. Clayton is good typically so I gave him a pass on that.

Yeah, Clayton missed the boat on that one. Just another example of one guy trying to cover and report accurate information on 32 teams.

Clayton is usually pretty on point. If I get a chance this afternoon, I'll try to find out if he meant something else.

I have such a good feeling about our young Quarterback and I'm sure it's just complete homerism, but I tell you I think JC is going to absolutely break out this year! This whole manage the game stuff is great and all, but this kid has the potential to be an All Pro. His pocket presence is a major strength and as much as I like Clayton I usually get the feeling that he doesn't get a chance to see the Redskins all that often. Seems like he just looked at the stats and made an educated guess about what a young quarterback would generally need to work on kind of thing.

Just imagine - if JC actually had a legitmate #2 reciever how much better he would look.
