Campbell will compete with a rookie next yr.

Redskins roundup: Campbell expected to stay | ProFootballTalk.com (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/01/06/redskins-roundup-campbell-expected-to-stay/). As most of you know, I'm not a big fan of JC but I would be all in for the possibilty of bringing him back if we draft a rookie to be our future. Apparently shanny wants to keep him for 1 more season to "pair" with a rookie. I think this is a good move honestly..

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.

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.

Shanny basically said he is looking forward to coaching JC this 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

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

Common sense has come to Redskins Park!!!!!

I second. I'd rather take aproject QB like Pike since taking one of the big 3 means the line rebuilding will suffer.

I say "pfffft" to pft.com rumors.


As long as the rookie is not from the #4 pick, I have no problem, but fix the line first, possibly RB too.

On CSN after the presser Kelly Johnson interviewed Shanahan and asked if JC can be the starting QB for the Redskins in '10, he said 'Absolutely, that's what competition is all about.' Pretty interesting indication that he will bring in a highly drafted QB and soon.

Another interesting, but unrelated note, he was also asked if Portis can be the starting RB in '10 and he said, 'We'll see.' Much less encouraging about 26 being back.
