Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Cowboys)

I think we're all fooling ourselves if we think that if/when our offensive line improves Jason Campbell will morph into this great quarterback, or even a better quarterback. I'm just not sold anymore.

Teams line up behind the quarterback. Litterally and figuratively. We're waiting for everything and everyone else to improve, except Campbell. Great blocking and execution is by and large a product of confidence. Whether it's in the system or the guy lining up behind the center. I'll say the same thing applies to wide recievers catching balls. I've watched Ben Rothlesburger have at least a half dozen crappy games only to thread the needle to some wideout in the last minute or two when it counted.

On the flip side, I've always been of the opinion that Dwight Freeney for the Colts has been the benefactor of the style and pace they play offensively. On some level, that's directly attributable to Peyton Manning. Confidence begets confidence, and more often than not it starts with the quarterback and the coach. No particular order, I suppose.

For the first time, I'm open to the possibility of Matt Leinart coming here. I'm sure he and Fred Davis could get aquainted in no time, both coming from Pete Carroll's offense. In the meantime, I'm still pulling for Campbell. But support is slipping fast.

Aristotle said-We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit-marinate on that for a minute

thread killer lol

I'd still like to see what JC could do in a more stable environment and with an offense that suits his strengths. Whether he gets that chance remains to be seen.

Funny, out of all the times I have talked negative about JC I actually would like to see how he would do with an extremely better O-line.

I completely agree with 12th though. I think JC is what he is.

Has Zorn been calling the plays the past two weeks because it sure looks like the same O before Sherm came here?

I cannot recall one play where JC put the ball up so our WR could make a play on the ball and not the defender. He just sucks and any support I had for him coming back is now gone.

The only thing I can attribute JC to is his being able to take a hit.

My negatives on him are;

He throws behind his receivers-maybe its lack of anticipation.
He doesn't read defenses well-can't shift his protection for some reason.
He either over throws or under throws his receivers.
He throws too hard all the time-sometimes you have to finess the ball within 10yrds..

So I wasn't the only one who thought a lot of his throws to Moss were behind him then

I'm shocked. unless your being sarcastic. I seem to get railed everytime I say these things, but if your not then yes I noticed it.

When I say he throws the ball too hard within 5-10 yrds I get yelled at.

No sarcasm. There were completed throws to Moss that I thought were pretty poor.

It seem from what I saw that JC almost never hits a receiver in stride with a pass longer than 5 yds. He's best suited in a dink & dunk O.
