Stranger things have happened.
 It would be nice to be back on top again.

Re: 1981-82 vs. 2008-09 Redskins, A Comparison
Would be nice if it panned out that way, but I don't think we are there yet. IMHO we still don't have a bona fide WR corp for JC to throw to.

Pretty weak "comparison" if you ask me.

Re: 1981-82 vs. 2008-09 Redskins, A Comparison
There's some parallels between Campbell and Theismann, but the two teams played in such different eras that any comparison is purely anecdotal. 8-8 meant something totally different in 1981.

Re: 1981-82 vs. 2008-09 Redskins, A Comparison
Nothing more than a neat article to read. Although, how cool would it be if the history actually DID repeat itself here? It's the offseason so we've gotta talk about something right?
HAIL!

Re: 1981-82 vs. 2008-09 Redskins, A Comparison
The biggest difference is momentum. The 81 team could score and ended the season on a serious roll. Had that team made the playoffs I think they could've made a run. The 89 team was kinda the same way. But the 08 team just couldn't score and sustain drives so to me there really isn't much to compare.

More specifically, is there anything that Theismann had going for him in June of 1982 that Campbell doesn't have now (outside of job security)?

Re: 1981-82 vs. 2008-09 Redskins, A Comparison
the comparison is weak but the USAToday article is really well researched and delivered. Props to them, as most stuff about the Skins, via national media, is wrong and terrible.
