I am as discouraged as any redskins fan. I just want a consistent team that competes at a high level every week. Granted, the injuries have hurt this year; but dropped passes, guys whiffing on blocks, and defenders trying to knock guys out instead of wrapping up is tough to watch week in and week out. I think Campbell is going to be a top 5 quarterback in this league if the receivers hold onto the ball, the line gets healthy, and the offense is put solely into Saunders hands. What I noticed in the Cardinals and Patriots game about Campbell is he has a bad finger on his throwing hand that he hurt on the fumble recovery/return for TD in the Packers game. I think this is causing his ball to sail. Maybe just an excuse but he did have tape on his index finger during the Cardinals game.
Welcome to the board. Interesting take on Campbell. His passes were definitely off last week

The injury was actually a bruised wrist, but you are correct that it happened when he tried to tackle Charles Woodson on his fumble return in the Packers game.

I wonder if that played a role in the conservative game-plan for Arizona.

Welcome first good post. Jayson has had passes sailing on him all year so I'm not sure the injury is the problem. You also stated that your tired of defenders trying to knock guys out instead of wrapping up. That was a problem last year and has not been much of an issue this year and only one comes to mind and that was Rogers hit on Green Bays TE (his name has slipped my mind). There could be more but to me that has not been an issue so far this year.

Why do people equate opening up the offense to 'deep shotgun drop' or 'throwing bombs every play'? Yes, there is a significant vertical aspect to that but opening up the offense also means-
-Running the no huddle in non 2 minute drill situations
-Throwing the ball intermediately rather than 4 yard outs
-Designed roll outs
-Being unpredictable on 1st and 2nd down
Pain nice job with this, I haven't been overly impressed with Campbell but to be fair with the kid how much can be laid at Gibbs door step? We see the same problems with every QB that comes in, I think Gibbs has lost his mind at this point he is paranoid with conservative offense, playing not to lose is for losers, period!
