Boswell always makes me feel better...

I would be willling to put $1000 on a bet that says if Ramsey does well he still leaves and Campbell takes over this team no matter what.

You might be right, but only if Gibbs thinks Campbell is a better player. There's no way Gibbs will let Ramsey get away if he has a Drew Brees season or two.

I'm not buying this Wonderlic Test bullsh**. Somehow that's going to tell us how quickly he can read defenses?

The bottom line is Campbell played in an offensive system last year that was very similar to Gibbs'. It's run first, ball-control, and attack deep when it's there. There was an H-Back to work with at times, and the blocking schemes were TE-heavy. Campbell mastered that one at Auburn to the tune of a perfect record. Sure his team was loaded with talent, especially at RB. But he can succeed in DC for the same reasons, he has Portis at RB and a sturdy O-line.

All that said, I hope Ramsey has a Brees season and relegates Campbell to the bench. I think it makes sense to question the logic of picking a QB this year, but I don't think it makes sense to criticize Campbell as a player. He is clearly a good QB prospect.

campbell is supposed to be super accurate and he's run a similar system for 4 years, he's used to changing coordinators and his stats and W/L got better since he began playing college ball...

my only question was that i thought we could get a more immediate impact player at that spot... and if we really wanted campbell we could have traded into the 2nd round.

So jdlea what I get from your post is that your an optimist, right ;)

Good read here, I really liked this part

The proof of the power of the Redskins' feelings for Rogers was that they picked him over Williams, USC's spectacular wide receiver, whose talents would have matched the team's obvious weaknesses. And, no doubt, have pleased more fans. Williams, in fact, would have been the quintessential Dan Snyder-style pick. After all, almost every major Deion Sanders signing or Steve Spurrier courtship of the Snyder era has been cheered by fans -- in the offseason. Then, as soon as the next season rolled around, the evidence proved once again that fans -- including owner-fans -- make the worst decisions.

There could hardly be a better sign for the Redskins than if its fans weep that Williams wasn't grabbed or that the 25th pick was used on a player who may seldom set foot on the FedEx field for a couple of years. Go on, folks, have fun. Howl for Williams and the Player of Your Choice who was still on the board when Campbell was picked.

But just factor into your thinking that Gibbs disagrees. Maybe he's wrong. But why bring him back and then not do it his way?

"Mike Williams is going to be a heck of a player in the NFL," Gibbs said. "But because we could get Carlos [rather than Jones or Rolle], that made it even easier. He gives you everything in the cornerback package: speed, size and he's physical. He's a shut-down corner who will [also] hit you. For our defense, that's very important."

BTW, Cadillac is the guy who said he lost the WAR but was still in the BATTLE and no one is accusing him of being rejected from Mensa.


That was fucking hilarious. And I was drunk when I heard it... :food-smil

offis is a fan of snyder more than the skins, its amazing to read this guy's posts

Boswell's line "Why bring him back and then not do it his way" really says it all doesn't it Matty?

Where ever that came from? :rolleyes: :confused:

Yeah, I didn't get that either. How are you more a fan of Snyder than the Skins?
