Why Jason Campbell should stay in DC.

I think reality day is coming for Jason. He thinks he's a starter in the league. From what I can tell nobody else does. Either he learns the "backup" role or I could see him absent from the NFL just a year from now.

...maybe I'm all wrong on this?

There is a lot of truth in your post. I talked to a Carolina fan today, he didn't think there was any way Campbell beats out Moore. There just are not that many open spots out there. He may need an injury (which there is a good chance of) before he has a legitimate opportunity.

Jason Campbell needs to go somewhere else and prove he's a starter. That's what's best for him.

Good point and that makes sense. I don't think he will find a starting role, but I also think he will ask to be released or traded for next to nothing so he can try to latch on somewhere and compete for a job. I think Shanahan would placate him if Campbell requests it.
Shanahan isn't going to cut him I don't think. He'll need to approve of the value.

MS also makes a great argument as to why DM is not to old to win a SB even if its not immediate. For those that have not seen it.
Watch the video.

yep, saw the vid. I still think Shanahan is saying what he has to say. He isn't going to come out and say "screw Jason Campbell, we don't want him."

That would destroy any trade possibilities, and we couldn't get a 7th round pick for him at that point. Regardless of the official position statements, I still say JC is gone, it's only a matter of when and for how much.

Yup, great point!

JC does not want to be a backup like any other QB. He will end up in Carolina (imo). Just like Donovan needs some time to develop in the right offensive system, so will JC. I believe JC's best days are ahead of him. Like you, I have followed him since he came out of Auburn and I think he is a stand up human being that is also a great QB. I don't think that our past offense system geled at all. O-line doing one thing, backs another, TE's another, WR's another... it was all mixed up with no direction whatsoever. If he goes to a team with any resemblence of a coordinated effort, watch out. Good luck Jason Campbell. I will root for you!

Yeah. PHI will definititely have strong interests in aquiring Campbell after Jay Feeley, I mean, Kevin Kolb stinks up the joint...

Philly trades Vic and then aquires JC. What do you think?
