That Guy

Really makes me wonder why Gibbs was so fascinated with Campbell. When he was at Auburn, I could never see anything that would lead you to conclude that he would become even an average NFL QB. That's one that I will probably never understand.
he is and has been an average NFL quarterback. he sure worked out a lot better for oakland than those palmer games i watched.

One guy that hasn't been mentioned is WR Malcolm Floyd out of Notre Dame... I know a lot of people on here are in love with Justin Blackmon... but Floyd is a monster. Great size, strong as an Ox, can leap, and has great hands.
I've liked him since last year.
When is he supposed to go? Late 1st?
I seriously doubt we end up with him... but I think he's going to be a good pro.
It's Michael Floyd. Malcolm Floyd is a Charger WR.

JC may be slightly better than he appeared based on his collegiate performance, but not by much. My view of him is slightly below average, but that's not really the point. Regardless, average or just below, neither category explains Gibbs' fascination nor the Redskins' investment in him!

JC-to-McNabb was a lateral move. A foolish, costly lateral move, but still a lateral move. Had we kept JC, patience with him would be wearing very thin by now and he might have lost out to Grossman anyway, just like McNabb.I would have crapped on this comment two years ago, but watching Mike and Kyle work with these quarterbacks, I tend to think you're right. Campbell wouldn't have improved under Kyle Shanahan the way he improved under Hue Jackson. He would have just remained frustrating and have lost playing time to Rex Grossman.
Which, of course, would have been a way better course of action than we've actually gone.

It would be nice to have the 2nd round pick we used to trade for McNabb, We could have gotten Gronkowski, Taylor Mays, Ben tate, Sean lee, or terrance cody with that pick.
I know I shouldn't on the could haves.

Coaching changes could be coming.
2. Would it surprise anyone if changes were made to the coaching staff? No. And I don’t think it would surprise some of the coaches. Shanahan will address this, as much as he is wont to do, on Monday.

I have been watching Texas A&M and North Western today, and news to me that Tannehill was on target with most of his throws. Quite a few drops on him. MAybe we should go Alshon Jeffery or Blackmon first then go Tannehill second. Thoughts?

Might not have a choice. But Alshon? No. Blackmon yes.

This
I love this strategy; Tannehill is on time and accurate and has high upside. He has played QB for only one and a half seasons. Also young man seems really composed in pocket but has some running/scrambling skills. Right now, I would say his skills are better fit in Redskins' scheme than RGIII. It's going to an interesting draft; looking forward to see which way we go!
