Updated: Evaluating the QB Situation (Discuss Campbell, Colt, etc)

Interesting take on Campbell. I like the kid, but my patience with him is running out. I would have already benched him if I was the coach. I am sorry for saying that, but it is how I feel. I look at Campbell and McNabb and see two cities that veiw their QB's in an opposite manner. McNabb is on of the best winning QB's in the league and they hate him in Philadelphia. We have a QB that has been terrible and we give him every excuse for loosing. He has Portis, Moss and Cooley. How much more could he ask for. Its the Oline, its the recievers, no it is the quarterback.
Redskins, Jason Campbell Could Part Ways After '09 Season - NFL FanHouse (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2009/02/06/redskins-jason-campbell-could-be-parting-ways-after-09-season/)

I'm not even sure I can respond to such a silly comment. Derrick Anderson, Tavaris Jackson, Kyle Orton and Shawn Hill are guys that I would say are not good NFL QB's. With that being said how can you sit there and say JC is terrible?? He's not top tier but in no way shape or form is he terrible.

Campbells got a great arm and great legs, other than that, he's not good. Surprised no ones mentioned the true successor, Brennan...

I wish we could have more great threads just like this one.

Yeah I don't know either. At this point it's almost comical. Nothing starts up more "interesting" discussion than QB talk around here.

and BIG lips...if colts not backup to campbell next year I'm going to flip

anyone got a spare lock for this thread?

These threads are starting to give me tired head!! Campbell is our starting QB...no one had a problem with the dude when the Skins were 6-2. In fact, alot of folks were singing his praise and saying "I was wrong about him". The slide began when the O-line got hurt and started struggling. Not to mention it was the first season in the WCO which is very different from the Gibbs/Saunders fighting-each-other-to-find-an-identity offensive system. I think that's being overlooked way too much. It does make a difference. Jason just needs to be in the same system for a few years. The guy has changed offenses more than most of us change our underwear (I personally don't wear any). Perhaps we're reading too much of what JLC (the Campbell Soup Oompa Loompa Kid) and other Skins-haters in the media are saying.

Stay the course for the next 2-3 seasons and see where we're at then. Change for the sake of change hasn't worked over the last 17 years. I don't see it being a formula for success moving forward either. I'm tired of being disappointed every year too, but I'd really like to see a consistent contender on the field and we can have that unless we have continuity.

HAIL!!

A little to much information but a good post nonetheless. Unfortunately you can repeat this until you're blue in the face and some people will still refuse to take into account 1. Our o-line sucked the 2nd half of the season, which coincides with Campbell's fall in production. It also affected Portis's production and the run game became less of a factor 2. That we were installing the WCO, which every QB who has ever played it says it takes at LEAST 2 years to become efficient in it. 3. Our receivers dropped balls and ran incorrect routes. Under these exact same circumstances, Brady would'nt of had a good year.

I definately don't think that discussion about the QB should be off-limits, but there's absolutely nothing to talk about with Jason Campbell right now. There's his contract, but we're cap strapped, looking at an uncapped year in the future, and can negotiate with him when it makes more sense.

He's not good enough where we can start talking about pro-bowl snubs or his place among the games elite, but his development has just been so...run-of-the-mill that he just doesn't make an interesting topic of conversation.

Honestly, he hasn't deviated one bit from his expected development path. I don't think you could have scripted it to be less surprising. I don't understand where "he's just not that good." WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU EXPECTING?

Campbell arguments around here just suck. It's very obvious what we have in the guy. I don't have any idea how so many people are confused and don't know what we have in him.

Look, if he regresses next year (unexpectedly), then there will be some interesting Campbell topics in the off-season. Until then, I really think we need to put it to rest.
