Do You Want Jason Campbell Back in 2010?

[BDBohnzie]

Short Answer is no. Long answer is, while the potential is there, I don't want Campbell back in 2010. Not to say I'm going to hem and haw if he is, but he's proven to be nothing more than average. The Skins do not have time to find out if he'll ever fully live up to his potential. There are simply too many holes on the O-Line to turn it around in 1 year, much less 2 or 3. And while the Skins need a stopgap between Campbell and the next big thing, and he's adequate, I'd rather see Shanny start anew.

Truth is the skins are nowhere near superbowl contention moreless NFC East Champs next couple of years. Is time really a factor it's obvious he doesn't have protect now why place a high dollar investment in danger. When you have a guy that is first round draft that has shown his talent doesn't have a 30+ million dollar contract hasn't had the proper tools around him from day one. The WR corp sucked when he took over the team for Brunell, the line has been injured & subpar every year since he has taken over.

While I agree the Skins are nowhere near a Super Bowl contender, looking at the state of the NFC East, I believe they are within 3 years of winning the division, given that Allen and Shanny make the necessary moves to fill the holes.

I bolded your last sentence because I feel it's a pretty weak argument. For one, here are the WRs that were around when Campbell took the reins from Brunell in 2006: Moss, Randle El, Lloyd, Cooley, Thrash. 3 of those 5 guys are still around and the other 2 pieces have been improved in my opinion (Kelly, Thomas). Add Davis, and Campbell has it better now than he did in 2006.

As far as the O-Line goes, you can argue it's been subpar but you can argue that is has been adequate at times as well (Not this year). However, that comes and goes with the territory. An above average QB (see Rodgers, Aaron this year) can overcome a horrible O-Line.

How many more years of an average QB can the Redskins endure waiting for Campbell to find his spark? Other QBs have wasted no time proving that they are worthy of taking the reins. And while I want nothing more than Campbell to succeed, I just don't see it happening as a Redskin.
