Like it or not, Snyder is the owner of this team; he probably will be for the next 30+ years; and he's not going to change... atleast not anytime soon. If you expect change, then you're just going to be disappointed for the next 30 years. However, if we accept DS and then find a way to "work around" him, then we can start making some progress. This team has been in search of a franchise QB for years. If we get a franchise QB, and keep the same system for 3-4 years, then we have plenty of time to build the pieces around him. It would be nice if we had done that with JC after we drafted him but we didnt. He's damaged goods and and if we don't cut ties with him this year, we certainly will next year. Its time to move on.

No, my statement is not wrong. yours shows that you dont remember a thing from last season. Jason RARELY threw deep at all. 90-95% of his passes were in the short- to medium- range and he was just awful. Receivers were regularly having to adjust dramatically to get to the ball, and it really hurt our YAC, which in turn resulted in more long 3rd downs, which resulted in JC throwing 3 yards short of a 1st down, which resulted in ended drives, which resulted in offensive futility, which resulted in us relying too heavily on our defense which resulted in us losing games. JCs strength has always been a big arm, an accurate deep ball, and play action. His weaknesses have always been indecision coupled with a slow release (likely a result of constant system changes and less than elite offensive line giving him extraordinary time), and touch and accuracy on the short stuff. JC is a guy who would THRIVE in the system he was drafted for and the modified system Saunders brought. Why we decided to make him start from scratch and learn another system is beyond me.

[guote=GTripp0012]But your assessment of Campbell's weaknesses center around him being "slow." If you want to see slow, you have to watch guys like McNabb, Roethlisberger, JaMarcus Russell, or someone really young like Joe Flacco.[/quote] Theres nothing "wrong" with any of those QBs. They are good in their systems but they rely far too heavily on an offensive line. At the beginning of last season, Peyton Manning lost 4 of his 5 starting linemen last year, his starting running back, and he had only one good receiver... yet the Colts still played extremely well. Why? Because he's quick and makes extremely good decisions. He doesnt need an offensive line to regularly protect him for 4 seconds like the Jason Campbells and Ben Rothlesburgers of the world. Its easier to replace one QB than it is to replace 3-4 starting linemen and thats exactly what we would have to do right not to give Campbell what he needs to succeed.

If the guy you are trading up for is a QB who you can build a team around, then its absolutely worth it. If he isn't, then its a colossal mistake and you will be worse off than you were before. Its an enormous risk - one that would push the skins in a definative direction: Towards joining the leagues elite (Pats, Colts, Giants, Steelers) or bottom-dwellers (Lions, Raiders, Bengals). In my opinion, its a risk worth taking. If it fails, then atleast it ensures we'll be rid of Vinny Cerrato once and for all. Not making the move ensures the skins remain what they have been for nearly 20 years: mediocre. I don't know about you, but I'm sick of mediocre.
