He is signed until 2009 so why would we even start to think about extending his contract until the end of next year? He has played OK this year but I don't think he is scaring anyone at this point in his career. Don't get me wrong I think JC has allot of up side but we have plenty of time to wait and see before signing any new deals.

The point is to lock him up now while he would still come at a relatively decent value. 2 years down the road if he's one of the top QBs in the game his value will go through the roof.

Yeah, personally, I don't think the Redskins should be worried about that. JC might turn out to be an OK and an average QB, but not an elite one. That would be a stretch. Plus, even if he does, how much difference in the contact would that make? Is that difference worth the risk?

The only truly elite passers in the league right now are Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, so I'd agree that Campbell will probably never reach that level, but I think you're selling him a bit short by saying he'll only be average. His only glaring issue at the moment is his short to intermediate accuracy, which can improve with experience. He already has above average poise and a cannon arm. I think he'll be a very good quarterback in time; along the same lines as Carson Palmer or Ben Roethlisberger.

And as far as Romo, he'll never be in the elite class either. I think he'll be good, but if recent history is any kind of hint of the future, he looks like a choker in big games, like McNabb.

It might have came out wrong or something, by average I mean he won't be a Brady or Manny or Favre. He has enough to become a QB to take a team to the playoffs and beyond with the right team.

As for Romo, I don't think he is anything like McNabb. He only had one game where he bobbled a slippery and wet ball which made the NFL do something to solve that issue. He threw 5 INTs in the Bills game and was not down on himself and got the team in a position to win the game.

I'll admit it, Romo looks like a VERY good QB. I'm jealous. Dallas' offense has a bright future. I admit this only because you have shown some respect and deserve to be treated like a guy worthy of respect. I can't say the same for BlueStar.

But if he fails to develop then we have another over paid player sitting on the bench. We still have a good year left to evaluate his tallent and where he is. So next year around this time would be a good time to decide if we want to extend his contract and that would be a 1 1/2 years before his current contract is up. That gives us room to still negotiate because agents like to take the sure money rather than waiting because in the NFL things can change real quickly.

JC does not even have a full season yet under his belt yet. Why not wait until AT LEAST the end of next season and see what we have there.

Who are we talking about here? If we are talking about JC I wouldn't jump to a new contract any time within the next year. Sure we have seen flashes but IMO nothing worth a big contract. As much as I hate to say it I think the Cboys really made a smart move by putting a lock on Romo before he starts asking for bigger money.
