This is absurd, because we've got a stack of evidence that's proof the "sign a vet, screw developing your young talent" approach DOES NOT WORK.
I really think people are smoking something expecting Jason to come in and dominate or something. Take a look at the '98 Colts and a young guy by the name of Peyton Manning who had a bunch of < 200 yard passing games with 1 TD and 2+ INT's.
Jason will be fine, if we let him develop. And I have all confidence that they will do this. He's shown poise and leadership that we haven't seen from our other young QB's, and he's made enough plays to show that he knows how to win, IMO.
Plus, I think Gibbs is giving him the ideal situation to grow -- unlike a Jay Cutler situation where he has all this pressure to win, otherwise the team being eliminated from the playoffs gets hung around his neck! Any game the Skins play well now with JC at the helm is a confidence booster for him and if he makes mistakes (like he did yesterday) and we lose, it's not the end of the world.
If this organization gives up on Jason Campbell it's effectively saying "We Have No Idea What We Are Doing". How close we are to actually being there is up for debate. I'd like to think we're a long way from there, but we aren't winning, and for some, that's enough evidence for them.
