JC is not what I thought.

We will see by mid season if JC is/will be a good QB in this league with the new offense. Thing is he has the same tendencies as last year even with a new look. I think by mid season for sure he will find a groove and excel. If not, the Start Brennan threads will be hot.

There's much more to it than the play of your QB. JC didn't look great tonight, but name me someone who did who wasn't returning kicks. JC gets a pass in my book until it becomes obvious that he is the weakest link.


QBs are leaders. They lead the team.. he doesn't do that, period. He's a wimp that has no confidence. UGH!!! ...

The thing is fans, this is the first true game that counts for this offense and Jim Zorn. You go on the road to face the defending Super Bowl champions. Your team comes off of some pretty awful showings in its last couple preseason games. Your coach is a rookie. Your offense is brand new. You QB has to learn his third offense in his what, four years as a pro? What does common sense tell you? The odds were long against this team winning tonight. Still, that doesn't mean us as fans should throw in the towel? Not what I'm suggesting. But, if some of you are going to get on this forum board and start bitching and complaining and dissecting each and every little point of Jason Campbell, Jim Zorn, the Redskins franchise, and so forth and so on, then I honestly don't see why you're wasting your talents on doing so with a football team. Use that scrutiny toward solving the oil crisis in America, or solving the homeless problems, or balancing this country's budget. Heck, I'm sure some of you guys could probably be qualified to be President if you did so! But, as for the Redskins, just ride the ride, cheer the team on, and see where this season takes us. We have a long ways to go, but you have to start somewhere, and sorry if it's not possible for us to start off in glory to wind up in glory.

Every year there's a built-in excuse for this team.

And every year there's a bitch.

No offense. You must be a Republican.

You're right: Jason Campbell is regressing. We have a major problem at QB. He looked lost out there and held the ball way too long.

Every year there's a built-in excuse for this team.

There are reasons for winning and reasons for losing. I don't know why we can't discuss things like that without getting slapped with the excuse label.

Campbell was 15/27 for 133 yards and 1 TD.

"The key to this game was third down efficiency. The Giants were sharp when it counted most, converting 7-of-14 for the game. On their four first-half scoring drives, they were even better, delivering on 5-of-8 third downs. On the flip side, the Giants' defense was just as dominant on third down, holding the Redskins to just three conversions in 13 attempts and forcing Campbell to throw short of the first-down marker repeatedly throughout the game"

"Jim Zorn made his coaching debut for the Redskins and showed his West Coast offense still has a ways to go. The Redskins had only 174 total yards and only 98 through the air. ..."

All this = Not good. Pathetic may be strong. But it was definitely bad.

I really respect that Rave and that was a flawless statement you made I don't disagree but we were right back where we were last year under Gibbs maybe worse. Cooley one catch, Thomas one catch, Randle El 7 & Moss 5 (mostly b.s. catches at the end). Now the three guys we drafted didn't contribute nothing but one catch right. When has Cooley been held to one catch ever? Now I know JC wasn't great or that good but explain to me where was his help offensive weapons were a no show or forced to block all game see Chris Cooley. But JC can't be totally blamed for this game. For you Colt Brennan lovers he wouldn't helped the receivers run betters routes or helped the o-line block better so cut the crap.

No offense. You must be a Republican.

:confused: Not sure why you said that?

I'm not saying that JC had a perfect games, and Lord knows I was going insane when he was holding the ball in the first half. But he looked good in that TD drive (notice that Manning did not throw for a TD and with all the passing yard, he never put the game away). There were some opportunities in which the receivers were not open, receivers dropped the ball, and plays were negated by penalties (one catch that cooley had in the first half that was call back).

Besides, for every Sean Payton out there (rookie coach that succeeds) there are many rookie coaches that won't succeed in their first season. People say that Zorn inherited a playoff team, but this is a playoff team with issues that were not necessarily addressed in the offseason (i.e. WRs).

JC is not the QB that will make players around him better (unlike Payton Manning or Tom Brady) he needs good players around him, and right now our WRs group is the same as last year and are showing the same problems. The day that we replace our QB this year, is the day that we go into rebuilding mode. I don't think after 0-1 is that time to do it.

This is what I've been asking who was open while he was holding on to the ball? Nobody!!!! Did y'all want him to throw a pick?
