Campbell will compete with a rookie next yr.

If 2010 is uncapped he will be a restricted free agent and isn't going to have much say in the matter.

He could sign an offer sheet with another team with a poison pill or two. I suspect the interest will depend on how high a tender the Redskins place on him.

It just makes no sense to draft a QB that high who has duribility questions. As to trading down, I don't see why asking about Marshall on draft day isn't a good move. The guy can play and gives us a chance to get rid of ARE and gives us a true #1 WR. Synder likes big names and it helps that Shanahan is familar w/ Marshall. Draft an OT at 10 (the kid from MD) and get a OG in the 2nd. We "could" draft a QB in the 4th, but I don't think that's smart.

No, it doesn't. The two had a serious falling out in Denver. I'll bet Shanny digs Don Hutson out of his grave and signs him before he even thinks of bringing in Marshall.

This is the most likely and most realistic scenario. I'd love to see what happens with Shanahan's offense with Campbell at the helm. If he doesn't develop more then I'm fine with a highly drafted QB rather than a 40 year old backup or a 6th round preseason phenom.

Exactly. Say Campbell stays, we shore up the line, and he performs well. Extension. He doesn't, then we have another QB waiting in the wings.

I'd love for us to draft OL with our first pick, then maybe Pike in the second round.

Makes sense to me.
I would prefer taking Okung in the 1st.
I like Colt McCoy and Tebow better then Clausen and Bradford and hopefully one of them will slip.
An unlikely scenario but one i would prefer is to:
trade down in the 1st pick up a 3rd round pick
take another OL or a DT in the second
take a QB 3rd round or down a sleeper QB i like is Jarrett Brown.

Anyone notice how Rock, Jason, and Chick were all in their socks? Someone doesn't like shoes in the house!!! LOL

I mentioned it to my wife when she asked whose house it was.

I am excited to see what Shannahan can do with Campbell. I still am hoping that we take a QB in the first. I think we can get a starting RT with the second pick. Use the forth to draft a center and either pick an LB through free agency or trade for one. I think this team is a lot closer than people are saying. The line has some good Guard prospects and I think that Levi Jones could be our LT next year.

i think that would perfect for us but i doubt that campbell would want to sign a 1 year contract, why would he want to go through another year of learning a new offense just to get released the following year. Either we keep him long term or he isnt going to sign with us.

and after looking at campbell stats for another season and comparing him to other qbs around the leauge we need to lock him up and shore up our O-line.

Elway and Plummer were both worse then campbell before shanahan coached them and both ended up playing well for shanahan. (it took elway 10 years to to have his first decent season). I know shanahan didnt like campbell coming out of college but you dont pay a guy 7 million a year to rebuild a team. Snyder is paying him the big bucks to be a motivator and to get underperformer to overperform. IMO i believe shanahan will draft an OT and sign O-line free agents that fit his scheme. Right now we have big powerful guys up front (from gibbs power running scheme) shanahan would want smaller more athletic guys up front and there is only so much you can do in free agency and with samules likely to retire i believe OT is inveitable and if you keep campbell you are going to have to cut portis so second round will probably be a RB unless shanahan can find a gem in the 4th or if colt slips to the second i highly doubt we are going to have a rookie QB next year. i duno thats just my 2 cents


Excuse me, but is that John Elway you are referring to as having 10 bad years before hehad a decent season? Or did the Broncos have a QB named Marvin Elway that I missed?


Mike Shanahan did not "make" John Elway a good QB. Mike Shanahan is one hell of a good offensive coach, but attributing John Elway's success wholly to Shanahan is outrageous.


I seriously doubt that Jason Campbell himself believes that he is currently better than John Elway was until Mike Shanahan arrived in Denver.

It's worth noting Elway didn't have a real big time type of season until 1993. Up until then his stats weren't anything all that special. Shanahan wasn't his HC until '95 by the way.

Under Shanahans tutelage, Terrill Davis was the final piece to success for that Offense.

It's because of the compensation (first and a third) that he won't receive an offer sheet no matter who is interested in having him.

but they could work a sign and trade like the pats did with cassel and KC.

or (im not so sure about this one), tender JC at a 1st & 3rd then trade him for a 2nd rounder like the falcons did with schaub to the texans.

can you trade a guy whose on a restricted FA contract? i assume this is what the falcons-texans did and is the most likely scenario for JCs departure if he's not with us next season.
