So you believe that Dan Snyder went to Jason Campbell and instead of choosing to stay with the same offensive system he's been learning for the last two years, he actually preferred to go with his seventh different offensive coordinator in seven seasons?

No, I'd say that was unlikely.

Well when you consider the fact that the FO hasn't even kept the coaching staff up to date with whats going on with the coaching search or their own status. Then every player interview I've heard they don't have a clue what is going on in regards to the search.

I would find it very hard to believe that they asked JC what he is most comfortable with. IMO I bet they could care less, they have made a decision based on what they (THE FO and/or future coach) feels is the best hire for the team.

Moving forward I hope the next hire is GW as our 27th HC, maybe this is in fact a GW guy?

Nope. Everything I've heard from JC's mouth is that he likes the offense and he liked working with Al S. and Bill L. And I would bet that when he comes on the radio again next week he isn't going to be happy running his 3rd different offense in 4 years. Sorry but that's not how you coach a young QB that you gave up 2 number 1 picks for.

When you change OC's that means some trickle down stuff is going to happen. What good is Collins w/out Al? So who is our back-up now that Al isn't going to be here? Collins showed that he can play at a high level in Al's offense so you now possibly weaken the back up QB spot.

Ok, you don't build your team or staff around your backup QB. I think that position is somewhere towards the bottom of the priority list at the moment.

All too true, but I wonder who will be the backup?

I am happy that Collins did what he did this season, and I hope him and Al find a comfy new home, but I am sure as hell glad we wont have a Todd Collins or Mark Brunell backing up our QB anymore.

Lets bring in Seneca Wallace!!!! Backup QB and WR all at once!!

As Joe Gibbs said many times, the most important player on your team is the starting QB, and the second most important is his backup. Todd Collins proved that this year, as did Doug Williams 20 years ago.

A little success sure goes a long ways dosen't it? If memory serves me correctly the first year Collins was here and we got to see him in pre-season, many here vowed to never want to see him under center again (including me) It's amazing how just a little bit of success can change the minds of so many people.

In a public interview, would you really expect Campbell to say anything other than that? It would be unlike Jason to publically criticize his coach.

I really don't care about any of this. I liked Zorn back in the day when he was the Hawk's QB but I really don't know much about him as a coach like most other people here. As far as the way Snyder is handling this...it's his team, he can conduct business any way he chooses and I am free to support the team or not. I find it absurd to critique, complain or panic about his process. I'm of the "wait and see" camp. Fassel may be a good fit. I don't know. GW may be a good HC. I don't know. Neither does anyone else. Quit yer bitchin'.

I know the whole "quit yer bitchin" mantra is in right now. I also think some people (i.e., the "I'm selling my Redskins gear" crowd) are getting overworked and looking silly. That said, the notion that I, as a devoted fan, cannot take issue with front office moves is equally silly (no offense dblanch). As the owner, Dan has the power to make front office moves, but as a fan, I have every right to disagree with front office moves in a reasonable and articulate fashion.

In college they asked him a similar question, they said would he be more comfortable using a pen, or a pencil, he said he would be more comfortable with a box of crayons.

Um I read in the Virginian Pilot down here in Virginia Beach a couple days ago that he hoped Saunders would stay offensive Coordinator because he knows the playbook and has learned alot from him.

Never believe the Pilot!

Check here and the WashPost first, because it is days ahead of the Pilot.

This from having lived more than 35 years in Hampton Roads, now 55 mis. further south, near our five grandkids.

I'd even go to the Washtimes once in a while just for for k&g!

No. Not very likely.

Beemnseven · 01-25-2008, 05:57 PM

Well, so much for patience...

I would have thought Al Saunders gets at least one more season to allow Campbell to get a good handle of the offense, get some offensive linemen healed up, and maybe snag a wideout who doesn't drop the ball every other throw.

But... that's not the way things are done here under Lil' Danny.
