It reminds me when Reed Doughty became Redskins enemy #1 and people stopped talking about him when he got hurt.

Its not "hate" of Campbell. He has his own sets of strenghts and weaknesses, just like any other QB. The problem is he doesnt get to use his natural strenghts in the WCO and his weaknesses are magnified 100 times. Bringing on Zorn and his WCO and expecting it to work with Campbell was a horrible decision on the FOs part... which brings me to the issue here"
Alot of you seem to look at this issue from the perspective of what SHOULD be done or makes sense to you - but it completely
ignores the reality that our owner is Daniel Snyder and our GM is vinny Cerrato. Im looking at the issue of what we should do
given the fact that our owner is DS and GM is VC.
About WRs... yes, his WRs dropped some balls, but i cant even count the number of times Campbell grossly over or under threw a wide open receiver for a short catch. Many times, our receivers and TEs cant get YAC because Campbell cant hit them in stride. While Campbell has deadly accuracy on his deep ball, hes horribly erratic on the short and medium-throws.
Anyway, as you said, if we keep Campbell as our QB in 2009, we absolutely need to give him O-line help. Campbell holds on to the ball way to long for this system and he absolutely needs more time. He won't be successful without a top5 O-line. If we don't give him serious O-line help, were ensuring his failure. (on the flip side, if we select a QB who makes quicker decisions and is more accurate on the short throws, allowing our receivers more completions and YAC, we're fine with the line we have and can focus on upgrading it coming seasons.)
