What must Jim Zorn accomplish this season to keep his job?

JC has all of the talent you need in a QB, but i feel he has trouble makin quick reads and if he doesnt breakout soon we may see a change at the position. The Coltists will be out in full force if he continues to do well in OTA's and preseason and JC starts to stumble

I think you're right. The league is filled with QBs who are physically gifted. The ones who make it are the ones who excel in the Xs and Os and can understand what the defense is going to do before they do it. Watch guys like Brees, Manning and Warner and you'll notice that the defense can't get to them because they get the ball out so quick, not necessariliy because their O-line is giving them all day to throw. JC should be more comfortable in Zorn's system, so I suspect we'll see a lot of improvement.

Zorn's success is directly tied to Campbell's performance.

As Campbell goes, so goes the team and as the team goes, so goes Zorn.

If we make the playoffs with that 9-7 record I think it does. If not we let Zorn and Campbell walk imo.

Not if we ride the defense's coat-tails into the playoffs. Zorn has to prove he can field a potent offense. That's what he was brought here to do. A lot of coaches could have produced more than 12 points a game over the last half of the season. I think Zorn has to do a lot better than that, and if he does this team could go far.

Don't forget that Campbell was subjected to a lot of dropped passes and our receivers were less than stellar. I felt JC was reading defenses well based on his low ints.

If the Redskins make the playoffs next year, Jim Zorn should stay. Period. I think he should be given more than just this season regardless, but I don't think he will if they regress and have a losing season.

I would say that 10-12 wins sounds about right for this team this season with a win or two in the playoffs. I have very high hopes for this group and I think there's a very good chance that they could tear it up this year, vaulting Zorn and Campbell onto the national stage and making it impossible for Dan Snyder to get rid of them.

After everything settles, unless JZ just appears overwhelmed (which I can't see happening) I would bet that he has atleast this year and next. DS has no desire to start over yet again, regardless of what the media pundits would have you believe. So sayeth a know nothing web-pundit.

You're predicting from eleven to fourteen total wins for this team? Come on, man! I'm as much a Redskins fan as anyone, but even I think you've gone WAY overboard. Did we move to the AFC West while I was on vacation? I'd be very happy if we just back into the playoffs at 9-7.

We are not even sure than Holmgren or Cowher would work for ANYONE. Besides, Holmgren has expressed a desire to move back to the SF Bay area.

Shanahan will "work for food." Gruden said on NFL Network that he wants to coach again. So out of the "Big 4" candidates mentioned, only those two are really lurking offstage.

Further, any of those 4 may pull a Parcells and say they want to be in upper management, not coaching, in which case we could hire Holmgren, just for example, and still keep Zorn.

I do not think that 10 regular season wins, with a playoff win added, is too far from real possibility. Leaving reason aside, my hopes are for even more - especially if it includes a sweep of Dallas!

I will be happy if we get into the playoffs by backing in, but I expect to be very happy and see us winning the Division.

How sweet would a late season sweep of Dallas be. Of course Dallas fans would be saying it was WP's fault, not that the Skins whooped 'em. (Yeah, I am picturing the party already :food-smil
