Do You Want Jason Campbell Back in 2010?

[firstdown]

I voted No and its because I don't think he can read the D and has trouble finding the open man and that even when he has time. He never hits a WR comeing out of their break but waits to see if they can get wide open and never hits that window. I cannot remember the last time he threw a ball up so only our guy could make the play instead it sails over everyones head or bounces of the ground. He is tough and has heart but that does not always make a good/great NFL QB.

yes, given an o-line , a real offensive coordinator and a little coaching i think we could win with campbell, go get vick atleast he knows how to run

[CrazyCanuck]

No.

Ive been wavering back and forth all season on Campbell. Part of me thinks he can be decent with a good o-line and running game. But the fact is everything seems to move slower with JC. Too long in the pocket, too long in his progressions...

Put JC on a good team with a good o-line and he could probably be successful. But unfortunately that's not our team right now and I don't want to wait another 3 years to confirm that JC is average.

Where is everyone getting this three years stuff from? 2010 is the year in question. Nothing beyond.

For all the "NO" people out there, who do you want that could be any better?

We already know we have a solid but unspectacular QB in Campbell. I think most people agree that with our receiving corps improving, if we give JC a decent line and running game he can be a lot better. What if we don't bring him back and use a high first rounder on a QB that ends up being a bust? Top QB draft choices are a huge roll of the dice. If we miss on one and let Campbell walk, it could set us back a lot more than three years.

What if the QB turns out to be great but we didnt take him because we tied ourselves to JC? Like I said, the potential reward of a new QB far outweighs being stuck with JC.

He's been here 4 years now and we're all still on the fence. And it's not like we're gonna reunite the Hogs in 2010, our o-line will likely be weak for another year or two at least. So when exactly do we get to make a decision on Campbell? By the time our o-line is adequate JC might be 40.

Well that's the big question and I don't disagree with you, there's probably no other available QB that would be an improvement over JC in 2010. But if Shanny comes I'd rather let him build his team from scratch. Let the o-line and new QB grow together. If Shanny feels that Campbell is that guy then so be it, but I doubt that's likely.

I know this is how I feel about it, and reading over the "No" crowd responses, I'd say that the feeling's mutual. Campbell was a Gibbs project. Let Shanny put his pieces together and move on...

What exactly is he solid at? Solid at not taking chances, at not throwing to receiver in stride, at reading a defense? He is pretty solid at intentional grounding.

Pretty solid at over throwing the receiver or dirt balls. I got it. He's pretty solid at throwing the ball with all his strength no matter if its a 50 yrder or 5 yrder. and you forgot throwing behind his receivers. I think he has trouble inticipating where the WR will be and throwing to that point in order to hit them in stride. I guess that's the difference between good and great.... a QB that throws to where he's looking vs. throwing to where the receiver will be to catch the ball in stride.

I really cringe when we throw slants, JC always has that delay. So even when the receiver is open that extra second not only lets the defender get closer but the whole defense has that second to close the gap.

With the seven offenses that Campbell has had I'm saying no. I don't want to be sitting here at the end of next season reading comments on here about how Campbell just's needs another year under Shannahan. JC could of been a good QB, but i think the redskins ruined him by there constant change of offensive playcalling and the inability to build a line. Let's start fresh with a QB that the new coach wants and not just stick with another Gibbs leftover.

No, for the reasons you state. He played well for a stretch after the change in playcaller, but has returned to form in the past two games. It certainly is not all his fault, and he probably was never given a great chance to succeed in Washington for a variety of reasons, but it is time to move on rather than get caught in a Jake Delhomme/Marc Bulger/David Garrard type situation (average to below average QB with an above average contract). In a perfect world the Skins could get some compensation for him (a 28 year old QB with starting experience and good statistics should be worth something). In a fantasy land we might hope for a 2nd, but it would probably be more realistic to look for a 4th (that is, give him a high tender as an RFA and then negotiate a trade with another team).

I'd rather get Bradford and draft 2 or 3 O-Line prospects from the second round onward. The best teams with quality lines either get them through free agency or draft and develop them from rounds 2-7. Shannahan can develop rookie QB's quickly and both Ryan and Flacco saw success during their rookie year.

Ironically the Falcons had a worse line then us but with the right QB, scheme, and coaching they were able to make the playoff run we saw last year. Obviously I'm not advocating ignoring the O-Line instead I'm insisting on looking for quantity as well as quality. Maybe 1 or 2 free agents along with 2 or 3 draft picks.

I feel like a broken record at this point but the fans in Atlanta in 2008 wanted the brass to select Glen Dorsey instead of Matt Ryan now the fans couldn't be happier with the selection.

However if Shannahan thinks that we need to draft a guy like Okung first and then trade up a little from our second round spot to get McCoy then more power to him. Both Bradford and McCoy seem to fit the mold in terms of making the rollouts Shannahan likes to use.
