Jason Campbells response to Portis

Why do you think he doesn't do these things?

Also, you didn't answer my question. If he was a "better leader" would we have won more games? Was his lack of leadership a bigger issue to you than the OL?

He doesn't seem to do these things because they came to too many games unprepared.

And yes, coming into the games more prepared would have won them more games.

Isn't that the Head Coach's responsibility???????? :confused:

He was unprepared? I've never heard any complaints in regard to his work ethic on or off the field.

You win I give up trying to make any sense of this.

Maybe if Campbell had comforted Portis earlier in the season, or last year the team would not suck as much. I would like to see what Shanny and another real Offense Coordinator or QB coach can do with Campbell. Portis can kick rocks. He is getting old by RB standard we need a young homerun threat. I think it is true that he is a me guy. Yes he plays hard so time but why every time you turn around he is is taking his self out of the game for a breather. Just suck it up, maybe if he practices more, yes we talking about practice then he could have more stamina to last a game, not to mention he would be a little tougher and not get nicked up all the time. Love Portis but would love to see what the Raiders would give us for him. He is selfish person and would fit right in out there. Campbell needs to show that heart that he has now on the field and make more people accountable Santana Moss and ARE. Cant wait to see if Shanny puts up with that bull. I think not.

They -- as in team-- were unprepared.

Does that make sense to you now?

Do you think JC's leadership was a bigger problem than say the OL this year? Or would we have won more games if he was simply a more vocal, take charge kind of guy?

Yeah, it's like "crap this guy is yelling at us, man I guess that means I have to block now." Lol, I don't think thats how it works. I mean a guy whos a good leader can help give an extra spark or push, but usually that can only go so far.

For what it's worth, Campbell just had his best season.

Please read my brief description of what a leader is. That would be a good starting point.

You have the wrong idea of what a leader is and when he leads. He just doesn't lead in games, he also is a leader in practice, outside of practice. He gets people in line doing and thinking the right way or the redskins way -- so that way, the players and even coaches trust that everyone is prepared to do their best in games.

Seems to be unfair to ask that of any one player, but that's what the quarterback to me needs to be - a leader, THE leader.

Sounds like a good explanation of a leader. Still I don't think that a leader could make up for the dysfunction that was the personnel along the O-line and the fact that guys like CP had the ability to undermine the authority he did have. Also keep in mind I'm not a JC supporter, I want Bradford in here with our first pick.

I'm siding with Campbell. Portis was completely out of line and unprofessional.
