Last night before the game, A. Scheffler made this same point & speculated that since Dr. Andrews would work on Bradford, the skins might be interested in him if he's there when we pick. He & Mort agreed w/out hesitation that the team has a need at QB. Guess there's not much debate in the national media about JC now either?

It's been clear for a while now that JC wasn't the QB of choice this year, and with the way things have gone I think it's obvious both sides will move on. Especially with a new coach and (hopefully) new GM in place, a new QB is likely.

I think Campbell is damaged goods psychologically at this point. Analysts such as Jaws and Theismann have shown instances where Campbell checked down when there were plays available downfield - the guy is gun shy at this point. He will probably make a decent backup for somebody, but little more than that.

If we do draft Bradford, I want a long term coach in place, not a Holmgren who will walk away after 4 years the way Gibbs did. I envy the Eagles with Reid and McNabb being joined at the hip from day one. I want the next coach to be here for 10+ years, so I would prefer to look at someone in their early 40's to stabilize this franchise.

I agree w/Matty, he's highly unlikely to be here next season. I also agree w/you that he seems gun shy & has regressed this year. I still think he can be a decent starter, or would've been here if Al Saunders had been retained.

What I found interesting about Mort & Schef's comments last night is that it's such a foregone conclusion that the skins will be looking for a qb. They didn't say "if" just 'when.'

Agree that remaining in Saunders' system was Campbell's greatest chance at success, but our lack of quality O-line depth would have killed any system. Perhaps the best lesson learned for Snyder in the Zorn experiment is that it's not the system stupid, it's the players. Detroit's WCO was garbage too when their O-line couldn't protect Harrington. Ditto here.

true, he would've ended up on his back a lot. But often JC is panicking when pressure isn't there. If he had confidence in the plays at least he'd have half the battle won, now he has no confidence in the system or the o line.
