Is This a Make or Break Season for Jason Campbell?

I think JC will have a breakout year! However, if he don't this might be his last shot at the helm.

JC is solid. JC is NOT manning. I'm guessing this year will be like last year, only with 50-100% more passing TDs and a bit more yardage.

hope springs eternal...

Well this is a contract year, so hopefully that is an added incentive for him.

Yeah, pretty much. He's got to perform to earn a new contract or an extension.

This is more a make or break year for Blache, and to a lesser extent VC (Tweak) and Zorn. Snyder has paid big money to bring in the talent needed to win. We are an OT and SLB away from having a solid team.
The pressure will be on this year to at least make the playoffs.
There will be a fall guy if we do not make the playoffs. My first bet is Blache.
The hook may be short for Campbell if he plays poorly and we start to lose.

campbell's hook isn't short, cause the backups aren't any better than him.

we're still injury prone as a team. our depth at most places is just rotten, so some key injuries could definitely derail things (at least moreso than other teams excluding QB injuries).

I agree with you that we are an OT and a SLB away from a solid team and I think we'll get them. I also agree with you that DS will probably expect to make the playoffs, as he should.

I don't know why you think Blache would be the fall guy if we don't make the playoffs. Our Defense was ranked in the Top 10 last season and with Haynesworth and a healthy JT we should only get better.

Our problems were on Offense. I think that the coach on the hotseat if don't make the playoffs will be Jim Zorn.

As for JC, I think he has much more to worry about this season than the hook. If he doesn't lead us to the playoffs this season, I think he'll be traded or demoted. On the other hand, if he does, he'll probably get a big long-term contract with the Skins.

I do think that JC could get the hook around mid-season if it starts to look like we may be falling out of the playoff race. That's not because the backups are any better but because Zorn will need to try something to turn things around before he gets fired.

BTW, I don't expect JC to fail and I certainly hope he succeeds but, again, if he doesn't "arrive" this season as a polished NFL starting QB and a winner I don't think he will be re-signed.

I really don't know what to think about JC. He looks great sometimes then as bad as it can get at others. What I do know is this...We need to fill the RT spot for sure. Samuels[10]-Dockery-Rabach[8]-Thomas[11]-?. That is our line and we need to draft or fill that RT spot. I love the idea of free agent Ray Willis[5] 6-6. 330 but we may not have the money. Still we have a need at that RT or OLB spot that Washington held down so we will draft for one or both of these spots in april. I like to try to fill that RT spot with a good vet then draft a stud LB with the 13 pick. But we will see what Vinny and Dan are going to do! So in the end JC needs a strong RT to keep the run going and to keep him from getting kill by the pass rush. If we can do that along with the D that should get turnovers and shorter fields JC should have a great year!

I would have to agree with you . We still may be a DE away from a truly dominant DEFENSE . If J. Taylor has a big year , and A. Montgomery plays 100 mph for 60 mins , we could give some headaches to romo-eli-and mcnabb !

I'm really not looking for our D to get any better but if we can get more preasure on the QB and stop teams late in the game I'd be happy if we slipped a notich or two in the ranking. Now I'd love to have a tatal shut down D but if I keep my expectations in check I won't be disapointed.
