Good for Campbell

[SFREDSKIN]

Glad to see him doing well and getting a fresh start. I'll go out on a limb and say he will have be a very good year and take the Raiders to the playoffs.

I hope so. I wasn't a big fan of his performance while he was here, but he was clearly a class act. Wish him nothing but the best.

Glad to see this, I wish nothing but success to Campbell.

I get his frustration but he didn't prove himself as franchise material.. then again not many do

It makes a difference when the team ownership wants you as a QB. Maybe that confidence that he never had here in DC will get him over the hump.

But, water under the bridge, I hope he succeeds. (And I hope this doesn't turn into a Campbell bitchfest, Lord knows we've had enough of those)

A sense of stability may ultimately be his greatest benefactor. No resemblance of that here.

I'll go out on a limb and say your completely off your rocker. not only will the Raiders not break .333, but Campbell will stink it up and Oakland fans will blame the 15 systems he's had to learn in the past 16 years or some other such nonsense. news flash: Campbell is not a starting-caliber NFL qb.

Yup, talk shit about the guy even though he's not in a Redskins uniform. So much for this not turning into a bitchfest.

This is the least insightful post i've read in a long time. There's no reason to believe JC can't have success in the NFL. He played in one of the toughest football markets (especially for a QB) w/ easily one of the worst o-lines year after year. Very, very few QBs would have been successful in his position.

Oakland gives him a fresh start. He'll improve over last year a little above his historical trend line, which means he'll have a very solid season. And...he's still one of the highest character guys in the game.

...nonetheless our current QB is a super high character guy and knows how to win. McNabb is a franchise talent. Let's all hope he's got a few great years left.

There were tons of reasons to think JC won't have success in the NFL. It's one thing to be optimistic but be a little realistic. Are you implying the raiders are a better team then the Redskins so he will do better this year? How else could you think he will do better?

I hope he does well, just don't see it happening.

News flash: look at the numbers and you will see that Campbell is a middle-of-the-road starting QB, finishing right around 16th in the league. No better than the middle, but no worse than the middle, either. Campbell's problem is that he likely will never be elite, not that he is not starter caliber.

I wish JC all the best in the Bay area.

I don't neccessarily disagree with you....except for the bottom line. If Campbell isn't a starting caliber NFL qb....then another 10+ or so starting QB's aren't either.

If you were to say he is not a top 10 franchise quality QB...then I'd agree.
Our issues with our team at this point last year were (in order)
Coaching
GM
Owner
Players (oline, WR, QB in that order)

So, even though we got McNabb....the upgrade is solid but not radical...Campbell is good and I wish we could have kept him as a backup...after all...I think we only got a 4th rounder for him....I think a stellar backup is worth more than that....however, they wanted a clean break and to do the right thing for campbell.

I personally will miss the guy...yeah, very vanilla, no charisma at all, quite dull and uninspiring....but he IS a quality QB. I hope he does well as he is a high character guy.

Good assessment!

JaMarcus must have been really, really bad for Asomugha to say that. And Gradkowski must have not been too great either.
