| Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie Great thread, Im glad that Im not the only one that feels this way. Of course playing QB, you are the first one that people "dog" when you lose, and the first one for "kudos" when you win. Some of the stats are padded because they came at trash time, but there have been alot of missed opportunities that could have helped the stats as well that havent been his fault. Im surprised that he is doing so well considering the horrendous playcalling, and the defenses inability to get off the field. The line is giving more time than last year, but still needs to improve so we dont miss those potential big plays. If Campbell does get away, we will end up regretting it in the long run. The guy has steadily improved, and handled the chaos that is the Redskins like a true professional. I really feel like he could do much better with a better coach and more innovative playcalling.

| Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie When I was looking up Campbell's fourth quarter splits for research prompted by my comments earlier of this thread, I found out something interesting: According to NFL.com, Jason Campbell did not make a single pass in the fourth quarter with the score anything greater than a 7 point game. Of course, I don't know how NFL.com was counting the Giants, Ravens, and Steelers games, when that was actually the case, but it's been a little bit different for the Redskins to get down by more than 7 points twice in the first three weeks.

ps- when numbers actually prove a point, then they are good and worthy, when they are used to skew reality, they are not worthy. We both know numbers show things, but they don't show everything. Again...see Mark Brunell.

| Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie People that think Collins would do a better job than Campbell right now are smoking something. For starters, Collins' mobility resembles that of an 80 year old woman, and our O-line leaks like an old faucet. Against a half decent pass rush, Collins may leave the field in an ambulance.

The fumbles are a major issue. A MAJOR issue. And I'll credit you for going to that (a statistic) to defend your case. But without Campbell's passing efficiency, this team would have NO wins, and a good half of football from the defense against St. Louis away from being the worst team in football. Campbell is more or less the difference between us and the Browns right now. And remember that I'm a pretty big Quinn fan.

| Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie Thats an idiotic idea, is this really Jim Zorn? One of the only guys on the team, and a captain at that, having a decent season, and you wanna scrap him for a guy that will retire at seasons end. Thats not exactly the way to "rebuild" now is it? Campbell is doing a good job for the cards he has been dealt. Lets get a real offensive coordinator and see what Campbell can do with some real playcalls.

| Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie Collins would get the ball out quickly, but those 8-10 yard passes to Cooley that are a staple of our offense become 4-5 yard passes. And then we'd just be a top to bottom bad team.

| Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie Blaming Campbell is such an easy cop out. The problem is much more complex. Campbell does well, but man our receivers and Zorn arent really helping him IMO. Also we have said it quite a bit, but it starts top-down. We all knew the O was gonna be interesting this year based on our draft and pro-scouts.

In a lot of ways, this is the first year of our OL rebuilding project. Randy Thomas is probably done as a Redskin, Casey Rabach is likely in his final season here, and we're trying to see if we have anything in Heyer or Rinehart. We could use a big, mean, proven college body, but I kind think we're already rebuilding on the OL.

| Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie I truly applaud people who still manage to defend Campbell. I lost faith after last season and most likely won't regain it until he can maintain some consistency. People can argue all day long that Campbell is a good QB, but at the end of the day, he hasn't been good enough. |
