Campbell will compete with a rookie next yr.

Redskins roundup: Campbell expected to stay | ProFootballTalk.com. As most of you know, I'm not a big fan of JC but I would be all in for the possibilty of bringing him back if we draft a rookie to be our future. Apparently shanny wants to keep him for 1 more season to "pair" with a rookie. I think this is a good move honestly..

Exactly. Say Campbell stays, we shore up the line, and he performs well. Extension. He doesn't, then we have another QB waiting in the wings.

I'd love for us to draft OL with our first pick, then maybe Pike in the second round.

This is the most likely and most realistic scenario. I'd love to see what happens with Shanahan's offense with Campbell at the helm. If he doesn't develop more then I'm fine with a highly drafted QB rather than a 40 year old backup or a 6th round preseason phenom.

[Redskin Warrior]

Shanny basically said he is looking forward to coaching JC this year

[mehtadman87]

i think that would perfect for us but i doubt that campbell would want to sign a 1 year contract, why would he want to go through another year of learning a new offense just to get released the following year. Either we keep him long term or he isnt going to sign with us.

and after looking at campbell stats for another season and comparing him to other qbs around the leauge we need to lock him up and shore up our O-line.

Elway and Plummer were both worse then campbell before shanahan coached them and both ended up playing well for shanahan. (it took elway 10 years to to have his first decent season). I know shanahan didnt like campbell coming out of college but you dont pay a guy 7 million a year to rebuild a team. Snyder is paying him the big bucks to be a motivator and to get underperformer to overperform. IMO i believe shanahan will draft an OT and sign O-line free agents that fit his scheme. Right now we have big powerful guys up front (from gibbs power running scheme) shanahan would want smaller more athletic guys up front and there is only so much you can do in free agency and with samules likely to retire i believe OT is inveitable and if you keep campbell you are going to have to cut portis so second round will probably be a RB unless shanahan can find a gem in the 4th or if colt slips to the second i highly doubt we are going to have a rookie QB next year. i duno thats just my 2 cents

If 2010 is uncapped he will be a restricted free agent and isn't going to have much say in the matter.

Common sense has come to Redskins Park!!!!!

I second. I'd rather take aproject QB like Pike since taking one of the big 3 means the line rebuilding will suffer.

I say "pfffft" to pft.com rumors.


As long as the rookie is not from the #4 pick, I have no problem, but fix the line first, possibly RB too.

[Paintrain]

On CSN after the presser Kelly Johnson interviewed Shanahan and asked if JC can be the starting QB for the Redskins in '10, he said 'Absolutely, that's what competition is all about.' Pretty interesting indication that he will bring in a highly drafted QB and soon.

Another interesting, but unrelated note, he was also asked if Portis can be the starting RB in '10 and he said, 'We'll see.' Much less encouraging about 26 being back.

The good news about this for members of the cult is that Colt will finally get a chance to start next year. Now all that remains to be seen is if his rookie QB is going to be Clausen or Bradford at the top of the first or McCoy at the top of the second. Still this seems similar to the Plummer/Cutler situation Shannahan had a few years ago, though that ended with Cutler getting 5 stars his rookie year and taking over full time the next, and we all know how good Cutler was without Shannahan.

To me right now the best situation would be taking Bradford in the first and Charles Brown (T, USC) or Mike Iupati (G, Idaho) in the Second. Thats the type of best play available approach I want to see, best available offensive lineman, not best available guy we don't need.

[SolidSnake84]

Well Golly,

I guess at least its good that the QB here will finally have to earn their job....we haven't did that in what, 10 years??

[skinsfaninok]

Haven't seen the press conf. I get off work at 5 so what all did shanny say about jc and the possibility of drafting a qb?

Shanny: Stated that he looks forward to working with Campbell and when asked if Campbell could be his starting QB he said "definitely". He mentioned competiton.......this could be interpreted as another qb being brought in, drafted or competition also amongst our qb's on the roster. So, I didn't really read anything into what was being said as......"we are going to draft a qb".

Allen: He was asked if we will draft for need. Allen responded with "we will do what is best for the redskins." Honestly he kinda left it open by saying "typically we would draft the best player on the board"......so he left the option open to draft for need as well.

Why would we waste a first rounder on bradford when we can get an equally good qb in McCoy in the second who probably has the same chance of succeeding?
