I can not believe some of crap I am hearing from people. some concerns, the kid has played 5 games. Against some of the best D's in the nfl. two quality wins against Carolina (when they were in the playoff hunt) and on the road in New Orleans. take away a couple of fluke plays (Tampa and Philly) and the kid is 4-1 and we are in the hunt. As he ages, jesus man he has been in the league for 2 years!! Has Farve lost any zip on his ball?? NO. anyway, like I said he is what 24, he isn't 44! give it a rest.

Have some frickin patience.

I agree with you. It's BS if you ask me. Some of the fans on this site really don't understand football if they have issues w/ JC.

LOL the countdown has begun with Campbell. That didn't take long huh?

[freddyg12]

Maybe this thread is a blessing in disguise, rather than a bunch of piling on comments that JC sucks, people instead have come to his defense!
We have hope for the future!

are you trying to say people around here will be calling for collins?

[ncskinsfanec]

From what I've seen, Campbell's got that "it." I love his cool demeanor, not to up not to down (kinda reminds you of a certain hall of fame coach), and his rocket arm, I think if continues to improve we've got us a franchise QB. Very bright future, I say!

I think 90% of people on this board thought he performed pretty well. It is alright to critique his play. I thought he missed alot of easy things but i thought he played well. Like you said he's only played 5 games. As for arm strength, as someone mentioned, i think is overrated (i.e. Joe Montana, T. Green, many others). So, i think most think he played very well.

Aight, everyone is jumping all over this, so I'll clarify what I meant. I never said that Campbell is not the future, I never said bring in Collins, I never said I think he is bad, all I said is I thought he had his worst game this season. There were lots of things in this game that showed that he has alot of promise, ie his pass selection, calmness, mobility, poise, but when he misses 6 wide open recievers, I think that is terrible. Once he gets his accuracy down, he'll be a stud, but 6 easy misses is ridiculous.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

There are quite a few starting QBs that do that fairly often. No one is perfect, save for Peyton.

Actually I believe your statement was that JC played "like absolute shit today." Clearly almost everyone here disagrees.

Nobody is putting words in your mouth - perhaps you initially overstated just how bad you thought he played.

For a kid playing in his 5th NFL game, I'd say he looked just how you'd expect a talented but young QB to look. Sure he missed some throws, missed some open receivers. He also landed some beauties and had a few dropped by receivers.

He's young, making some mistakes but steadily improving. Watch guys like Phillip Rivers on Sunday, or Alex Smith all last season, and we're really doing a hell of a lot better than some teams with young QBs.

I might add to that, Eli is still looking like a rookie, and he's in what his third year?

I think people forget that Campbell basically went from third string to starting. It's really not very often that a guy leap frogs the second string right into live action.

[hail_2_da_skins]

There are two things that happened this season that's got me excited about the Redskins future. 1) The play of Jason Campbell and 2) the running of Ladell Betts. Campbell is progressing nicely and Betts has proven that he is a very capable back. The best thing about it is I'll get to see JC live for the first time this weekend when the Skins come to St Louis. Usually when the Skins come to town, we end up singing Hail to the Redskins at the end of the game.

He's not Mark Brunell........his arm doesn't get weaker every year. Most Qb's keep their arms........and many pitchers as well (roger clemens). He dropped back this week cause he could, the O-line was awesome, he adjusts when there's pressure. Also, he has been adjusting his throws depending on distance more and more if you noticed. Those throws at the end of the half were sailing out of bounds becuase he was being overly cautious, didn't wanna throw a pick 6 on an out rout at end of half.

I think Campbell's throwing has a lot in common with my 4-year-old son's peeing.
1) They both have good velocity.
2) Their aim can be improved.
3) I expect them to do much better with practice.
