Campbell Needs To Be Cut

davy · 12-13-2009, 08:39 PM

Have to admit I'm having a rethink on Campbell too. Perhaps it was just the awful playcalling by Zorn that made him look so bad.

his accuracy doen't have much to do with play calling though

Glad to JC playing well.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side 100% agree. JC has grown up his decision making has been great you can tell it's not a fluke he's making plays all around.

My question to Paul Tenorio from the Washington Post...

Quote:

Columbia, Md.: Can you guys in the media please please do your best to convince the front office to draft a tackle with that first rounder? We need to keep Campbell and get him a good line in front of him.

Paul Tenorio: A lot of people feel this way (including myself) but I've heard the argument, including from some of my colleagues, that if a franchise-changing quarterback is available they should take them. That they'd be stupid to pass. I disagree. I think the Redskins need to go o-line, but they have scouted first-round QBs and so I wouldn't be surprised to see them go that way in April...

They better approach Campbell about resigning before it's too late, most of the haters might think that it's a gamble, but in my opinion it will be worth it. Maybe a 3 year extension.

GTripp0012 · 12-13-2009, 08:48 PM

There will be plenty of "franchise-changing" passers out there, but I'm not sure the Raiders model is the one we would be trying to follow.

...pauses for laughs.

Seriously, we're going to have to address the real issues at some point. And quarterback play is one of those issues, mostly because Campbell gets the crap beat out of him and no matter how tough he is, he's not very good at protecting himself as not to get injured. Right now, Todd Collins is always a run-of-the-mill hit away from playing in an NFL game, and that's unacceptable for an NFL franchise.

That's true.

I'm not saying he doesn't have his faults. Throwing behind his receivers still happens way too often but he looks a lot better with decent playcalling.

This offense along with Jason Campbell can be very effective when they block and execute. The young players are finally grasping the offense and their role in it, the last two weeks are perfect examples. Jason took some hits today and still had a good outing.

dmek25 · 12-13-2009, 08:51 PM

rebuild the line, and lets see what kind of qback we have. i hate all of the other options, except for Pike. and rookies take a couple of seasons to flourish

SmootSmack · 12-13-2009, 08:52 PM

Still want to see Campbell step it up in more pressure situations. As in last Sunday when he ended up throwing that critical late game interception against the Saints.

I do like him though and think he can be a great QB in this league. And if it's for us then that's great, I just us want us to decide once and for all this spring. Either sign him to a long-term extension and say this is our guy. Or let him go. I don't think his fate is pre-ordained.

I think Campbell has benefited from a few things, including Sherman Lewis coming on board and Chris Meidt working more closely with him in recent weeks. Meidt the key to Campbell's success-who knew?

But what's not really being mentioned is how the team has overall benefited from a) Portis being hurt-which forces the coaches to open things up a bit instead of just handing the ball to Portis repeatedly and b) (and I think this one is the bigger one) Cooley being hurt. I don't think we're a better team w/o Cooley in the lineup. I just think that Campbell (and the coaches) finally have to use the other weapons on the team instead of just going to the comfort of Cooley every time. And that's helped not only Campbell but others like Thomas and Davis as well. Cooley's injury, in my opinion, is the best thing to happen to this offense this year

I'm on the "rebuild the o-line, keep Campbell" argument but it worries me everytime I hear the media giving Zorn and Campbell praise for the way they've handled things lately and then they say it's a shame neither will be here next year after everything that's gone down. I think we have much major problems than qb, and I'd hate to see him leave after it looks like everything is finally coming together after everything that went down.

You should read the post before you write things like this. If you go back and read it he says Campbell's play over the last few games has been good and he should stay. It was not just talking about the game today. Read...and turn the caps lock off.

Also agree completely. I don't think any of this happens if Portis and Cooley stayed healthy for the entire season. As bad as that sounds it's given much needed opportunities for Davis, Thomas, and the RB depth to show what they've got.

Didn't experts say it would take 3 years to successful install and grasp the WCO. Well next year will be year 3 keep JC, Zorn, & Lewis.
