I was going to post a sarcastic and funny one about JC crying, but it kind of doesn't work now....

I'm not a big fan of football players crying, but there is nothing wrong with it, I'm sure he wasn't sobbing on the floor in the fetal position. He probably had a few tears running down his checks. I'm glad to see he has this level of passion to win and be successful. This attitude is what we need. Other players seeing his level of passion and committment will pick up their games if they are worth keeping around.

JC definitely isn't soft on the field. He worked harder than anyone in the off-season mentally and physically. He's also takes some shots and gotten right back up. He keeps his composure in the game and that is what's important.

There are plenty of guys who won't shed a tear but are the biggest, selfish babies in the world. They get fat contracts, joke around after losses, play like crap and wind up on IR (Brandon Lloyd).

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

Romo cried after he fumbled that snap last year in the playoffs so its Ok JC shed a few tears.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

[QUOTE=mlmpetert;380859]I think its pretty gay truthfully. If he's that upset I think he should try waiting untill he's alone to cry.

Maybe if this was the superbowl or a really big playoff game, but it was just a away game vs. our arch rival that we had a decent shot at winning.

I dont think having the most involved player on the team crying in front of everyone else insprisers everyone to play harder. I personally would take offense to it if he were my QB....

Dude get a grip![/QUOTE]

:doh:

I knew it wouldn't take long.

I don't think they meant crying in a wussy, blubbering "waaah I want my mommy" kind of way. The kid was just expressing some pent up emotion and frusteration.

I, for one, am thrilled to see some emotion back in these guys. It's nice to see Portis pissed off, good to see guys like Randel El and Smoot fired up, and a QB who actually gives a damn.

Skills completely aside, Ramsey and Brunell always bugged me cause it seemed like it wasn't a really big deal when they lost. Ramsey I don't think actually HAS facial expressions, and Brunell always had this sort of "aw shucks" shrug to what he had to say.

Time to bring back some passion and fire to this team! Say what you will about football just being a business nowadays, but at its core football is about guys "fighting their guts out," giving their all until the last whistle, showing character, toughness and poise in the face of victory and defeat.

Right on, Sammy. The reason JC's crying in the locker room is a COOL thing is that he's a total baller on the field. Taking his hits, scrambling for first downs, airing that ball out, he's not afraid to take risks and take some shots. He's no pussy on the field, so I've got no problem showing a little emotion after the game.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

This is exactly what you want, a young QB who is incredibly passionate about the game, who is on the rise and the future of the Skins.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

[QUOTE=Ocliw;380901]Great point. And besides any man that says he has never cried for whatever reason is a damn liar.[/QUOTE]

I've never cried! My eyeballs just sweat sometimes. Besides, I don't care if QJC cries, screams or recites poetry after a loss. If that's what he needs to do to motivate himself to get better, I'm all for it. Results baby. It's about the results.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

I like a guy that's not afraid to cry from time to time. It shows how even more secure in his masculinity he is. He can cry and be a tough guy at the same time. So. No bashing on JC. I bet he's gonna go out there next week and pound some TB ass though, that's for sure.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

I echo the sentiments of others who have said that they would rather see a few tears then a bunch of laughter after a tough loss.

I seem to recall a lot of crying in basketball after tough losses but not football. I remember Larry Bird crying at the end of the NCAA championship game against Magic. I think Kobe cried after a playoff exit early in his career. Adam Morrison last year when Gonzaga was eliminated. If JC turns out to be anything like Bird or Kobe...I'll be thrilled.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

[quote=Mattyk72;380975]I wouldn't be so sure about that.[/quote]

Whether he was kidding or not--you should adopt the mod mentality of your Tampa counterparts for this week and hand out a 3 month ban for that slander.

Then again, according to Buc mod protocol, me telling you what you should do earns me a two week ban, right?

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

It takes a real man to show emotion. Those who don't are cowards in my book. Campbell has shown heart, soul, and love for the game. He's a true team player, and he wants to succeed. I'm sure the money is good, but I'm thinking it isn't about the money for Jason. This is the type of guy we need as our QB.

By the way, in my years of watching football, I have seen plenty of football players cry after a tough loss. I've seen them cry tears of joy when they are victorious. There isn't anything gay about that.

And don't forget Dick Vermeil and Bill Cowher (NFL network commercial). It's alright to cry, it's a sign of REAL man!!

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

Crying is showing strong emotion. I agree that if it was slobbery, snotty, in the fetal position balling, then it's not cool. Otherwise, I want to see passion. Tell me that Favre, McNair, Warner or Brady has never been emotional after a close tough loss. Hell, Favre was blowing snot bubbles last year talking after the last game of the year in an interview and nobody questions his passion or leadership.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

If anyone cares, read "Real Boys" by William Pollack, Phd. It's about rescuing our sons from the myths of boyhood. Men are programmed to stifle emotion due to some pretty arcane thoughts and superstitions. Evolve.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

[quote=SouperMeister;380879]If you look around the NFL, QB play is absolutely terrible in more places than not. Trading up for Campbell will be the greatest legacy of Gibbs 2.0.[/quote]
Absolutely. As much as Brunell annoys me, there are probably 10 teams who would want any of our three qbs. Panthers anyone?

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

My brother told me earlier in the season that he wasn't sure if Campbell is passionate enough to ever become an elite QB. This really shows just how much he cares about winning. That passion, his character, and his work ethic bode well for the Skins' future.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

Crying after a tough loss against the Cowboys in which everyone depended on....shows that Campbell is playing football with his heart. I rather have him be emotional after a loss like that instead of him joking and smiling after the game. I can see Campbell being a great quarterback after he learns everything he needs to know.

The fact that this stuff is even an issue is annoying.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

I'm not afraid to admit that my eyes watered up just reading about Campbell sitting by himself and crying. I'm going to follow this guy to the end. There's something special about him and his character and I just can't help but feel he has greatness in his future. I suppose someone will probably call me gay now too, but I am made of rubber suckers.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

Maybe we should bring in Dick Vermeil as a consultant? LOL

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

I think I heard Samuels cried too. I think there's no shame at all in showing emotion. I cried when Michelle gave Martin the Goldfish a bubble bath and killed him (I kind of laughed also). When I hurt I hurt, and I ain't afraid to show it.

All joking aside, it's easy to say it's just a paycheck to these guys but most guys truly care and really want to win. I'm glad Jason Campbell is one of those guys.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

This is EXACTLY what's been absent from our team for so many years. EMOTION!!

I think Gibbs 2.0's legacy will be playoffs 05, and 07 (hopefully) and drafting the first franchise qb we've had in my existence...1980. Cambell is gauranteed 10 years.

Let's not just not respond anymore to mlmpetert's comments. No need to give them any more credence.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

I still say it's better to stuff all emotion down and take it out on your family later, but to each his own. I take it as a sign that this team actually cares.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

Here's a quote from Jason on a WP article:

"People wanted to know why I felt bad after last week's game. I felt bad because two weeks in a row, if we had beaten Philly and Dallas, we would have been in a much better position," he said. "I was so upset with anger. I wasn't crying, I had tears in my eyes because I was upset with anger that we had so many opportunities and we keep letting games slip away. It's not about my individual efforts. I don't care about that. I just want to win."

[QUOTE=SkinDogg;381054]This is EXACTLY what's been absent from our team for so many years. EMOTION!![/QUOTE]

I pretty much feel the same way. What's amazing is that the potential for a big emotional spark comes from the one guy who commentators all around the league describe as "serene" and "always calm and collected out there." Even when I've been down on the team as a whole this season Campbell has been the one guy I could point to and say "He's the real deal." I love this kid.

The other thing about the Dallas game I love is that Campbell completely rebounded from the brief stretch of less than stellar games he had earlier. To me, that is the best indicator of his character. Philly was a beginning for him but Dallas solidified his own "comeback" so to speak.

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

I wonder if Brandon Lloyd was crying after the loss

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

That's the difference between players. Campbell was involved gave his heart and poured emotion following the game. Brandon Lloyd is a punk ass bitch who will never play as a Redskin ever again. I blame Nolan for pawning him off on us, but Nolan will get his, when his snazzy suit guy look is showed the door just like so many before him. Lloyd will be lucky to find work. Campbell will be the Redskins QB for years to come. Emotion is good. Desire to win is a must. GO REDSKINS!!!

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

TO's tears reminid me of this a little. For the record TO is the only player I hate.

For everyone who thought JC was such a tough man for crying and now want to make fun of TO for doing the same (be it in a much more important game) can't really have it both ways, imo.

You can have it both ways because ones actions are so perpendicular to what is the norm and one is a rising QB with no smudges on his record

Re: Campbell takes losing hard
 

I have to agree that you can't have it both ways. I get the argument that TO is such a tool that he is always a target, but I also believe that unless you feel he was being disingenuous, you've got to appreciate the fact that he cares so much. I mean would you prefer that he came out with a self-centered comment like "I don't know about anyone else, but I did my job..." or something of that nature?

Sure you can. It's called being biased and loving the Redskins and hating the Cowboys.

We can be as irrational as we want. Is it wrong? Yup. Am I going to continue to be this way? You damn right.

Like I said in another thread, TO is a horrible human being and has proven this time and time again.
