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.

Benched him in favor of whom? Why, because he didn't set the world on fire in his first year running the WCO with an overall mediocre receiving corps?

This blog link is just stating the obvious - his contract is up after 2009, therefore we could part ways after the '09 season.

I would have started with Todd Collins. He went 4-0 last season.

I would have started with Todd Collins. He went 4-0 last season.And if he hadn't been mercilessly eliminated from the playoffs after that, he would have gone 0-4 there.

this is already being discussed in the leftwich thread. Like GMScud said this is stating the obvious. This could be said of over 100+ players in the NFL

I would have started with Todd Collins. He went 4-0 last season.

And then he got a contract extension and proceeded to look lost and lousy in training camp and preseason. When Collins took us on our run in he was the beneficiary of a team on a mission after ST's murder, plus he was running a system he'd been in for years under Saunders.

Todd Collins is an old backup. That's it.

I second this notion..

Starting Collins would have only made sense if the FO had retained Williams as HC and put the offense in the hands of Saunders. I'm one of the few who thought this was the wise move and still today i believe we'd have been a very competitive playoff team under Williams/Saunders... it wasn't meant to be. Collins has little to nothing to offer in the WCO. Jason is the best QB on our roster.

Campbell is gone unless he really has a great year next season. I saythat just because it is natural for a player to ask for more money come contract renewal time. I doubt JC is going to sign for the same thing. He is poised to overtake Gus Frerotte in the all time Skins passing yardage around midseason. I mention that because when Gus was up for renewal Casserly got rid of him. If JC doesn't improve significantly and we miss the playoffs, I just can't see the Skins FO justifying resigning him.

We can look at probably 20 other threads at least on this site and see the same arguments over and over. Ad nauseum is an understatement at this point.
