The pressure will be on this year to at least make the playoffs.
There will be a fall guy if we do not make the playoffs. My first bet is Blache.
The hook may be short for Campbell if he plays poorly and we start to lose.

I agree with you that we are an OT and a SLB away from a solid team and I think we'll get them. I also agree with you that DS will probably expect to make the playoffs, as he should.
I don't know why you think Blache would be the fall guy if we don't make the playoffs. Our Defense was ranked in the Top 10 last season and with Haynesworth and a healthy JT we should only get better.
Our problems were on Offense. I think that the coach on the hotseat if don't make the playoffs will be Jim Zorn.
As for JC, I think he has much more to worry about this season than the hook. If he doesn't lead us to the playoffs this season, I think he'll be traded or demoted. On the other hand, if he does, he'll probably get a big long-term contract with the Skins.
I do think that JC could get the hook around mid-season if it starts to look like we may be falling out of the playoff race. That's not because the backups are any better but because Zorn will need to try something to turn things around before he gets fired.
BTW, I don't expect JC to fail and I certainly hope he succeeds but, again, if he doesn't "arrive" this season as a polished NFL starting QB and a winner I don't think he will be re-signed.
