Re: Jurgensen thinks Campbell will be back
Well now that the offense is hitting on all cylinders and Campbell is playing his best football of his career so far, do you really want to make major changes to the offense? If Sherm Lewis, Jim Zorn, and everybody else is out of D.C. at the end of the season, it may mean yet another new offensive scheme for everybody to learn. If this is the case, do you want to keep Campbell? He'll have to start from scratch just like he's done the past few seasons.

Exactly. And then, when the new system hasn't brought a championship in two years, it will be switched again. It would be a good idea for the organization to avoid creating a classic catch-22 situation in which coaches need more than two years to create a successful system while at the same time need success within two years in order to keep their jobs. |

Re: Jurgensen thinks Campbell will be back
At least with Shanahan JC wouldn't be starting completely over since the basics of the WCO would be there.

That's what I was wondering. I wasn't sure what type of offense Shanahan would put in place. If this is the case, then yes, you definitely keep Jason Campbell.

Re: Jurgensen thinks Campbell will be back
I agree. Its the main reason for us to "pull" for Shanahan to win the job. While I think there's a fairly low "ceiling" with Shanhan (we'll be 8-8 to 10-6 most years), we'd be fairly well positioned for immediate success - especially if he can be convinced to leave the defensive coaching staff and system more or less in tact. My biggest fear with Shanahan is that he'd want to clean house on the entire coaching staff. Shanahan's impatience with defensive coordinators is the #1 reason I think Denver never took it to the next level.

Re: Jurgensen thinks Campbell will be back
With Shanahan Campbell might turn into another Cutler, an interception machine.

Re: Jurgensen thinks Campbell will be back
Campbell isn't that type of player.

Re: Jurgensen thinks Campbell will be back
I really don't think Shanahan is going to come here and work for Snyder. Especially when he worked for one of the most hands off owners in the NFL. He's not stupid and he doesn't need the money. So what offensive coach with HC experience is going to take this job? Snyder might not have any choice but to keep Zorn.

Re: Jurgensen thinks Campbell will be back
That's right. He treid to do both and it didn't work. My point was that the majority of his career he's been a coach. He's not true personel guy. I want a guy that's willing to go to the middle of no where and find Leon Lett or a Monte Colemen.

Re: Jurgensen thinks Campbell will be back
Campbell should be offered every opportunity to stay. He has shown that if he has a decent (note, not good, decent; this O-Line is FAR from good, but it IS gelled together much better than in the beginning of the season) that he is a warrior. Okay, he still has issues, like over throwing, and he is not yet a quarterback that can put the team on his back and win a game when it's do or die ... but if his line can at least open up lanes for the run, and at least keep him standing for longer than three seconds, and his recievers can get on their damned routes and stay there - well, he WILL lead and his team WILL play and fight for him.
He's going through his progressions much better, when he's connecting they're for big plays, he was in the top 5 QBs last week, and even after getting pounded into the ground week in and week out behind this just-playably-decent-line, he never complains, he gets up and dusts his arse off, and he goes in there like a damned soldier, and his teammates love him for that. He and his 'mates have been staying after practice, they have been giving it their all when there is absolutely nothing to play for but pride at this point, when they could just give up and no one would really blame them for it. Give this guy a solid line with some depth, allow him to finish transitioning into this offensive scheme, and he is going to be nasty. Maybe not elite, maybe not Bradyish or Favreish, but utterly reliable and a QB that can win us games because the rest of his team is solid. I agree with Mike Wise 100% Quote:
Now, all that said, I think Campbell is out of here no matter what at the end of this season, due in no small part to the disloyalty the team and the fans have shown him, and the freakshow atmosphere this franchise engenders. He is going to be picked up by a thirsty team ready to make him "THE guy" at the position, they'll give him time instead of suffering from ADD and demanding instant perfection in yet another scheme, and he is going to shine and make us look really dumb for having bailed on him before he could show his mettle. The damage has been done, and the 'Skins, IMO, as an organization have no one to blame but themselves for what I see is inevitiable at this point. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm still of the same mind I was a month and a half ago that The Soup can't wait to get the eff out of this circus called the Washington Redskins... |
