This was announced before the first preseason game.

Campbell deserves it.

uuhhhh...crap

Re: Jason Campbell to be #2 QB
 

I don't think he's been promoted, he's just taking his turn in the rotation.

Re: Jason Campbell to be #2 QB
 

CPayne, as always, is right, this was the plan all along

Re: Jason Campbell to be #2 QB
 

I doubt it's going to turn back though...

Re: Jason Campbell to be #2 QB
 

I agree Brud, I think he'll take this chance to postion himself as the number 2 guy.

anyone who watched the other night knows collins does his best work holding a clip board while picking his nose

Re: Jason Campbell to be #2 QB
 

dmek, you're on roll today - what you have for lunch?

I think if Campbell marginally improves on this week's performance he'll be number two by 9/11

Re: Jason Campbell to be #2 QB
 

Personally, I don't want to see Collins under center ever again. With JG telling Jason Campbell what he did at the end of last season, I was under the impression we were going to see Jason, and more Jason when this pre-season started. All Jason needs is some more work to get comfortable, and that will enhance his confidence. Hopefully, he is our future, Collins has no future here at all, so why take opportunities away from the player we should be grooming for the future? Jason should get all the snaps behind Brunell, and if for any reason Brunell goes down during the season, the team should go to Campbell.

I completely agree. The "he knows the offense" argument only works if he also knows how to walk and chew bubble gum without tossing passes to D linemen (which he does not). Why not just have Al Saunders play QB if that's all it takes. Campbell is my man for the money. What pretty passes.

Re: Jason Campbell to be #2 QB
 

If he can't beat Collins out for the number two spot then I'll say 'WASTED PICK'.

Keep in mind that how Collins performs during the final 3 preseason games is a major factor in this equation as well.

Given that Skins fans are only really happy when there is some kind of QB controversy....

JC did demonstrate in Cincy that he has the [B]potential[/B] to be McNabb with a stronger arm and a better head. He clearly has the best arm of the three QBs. If he continues to show some real growth during these next three games, there could be some very interesting discussions on this board.
