Can we please take a time out and show Jason Campbell some respect here?

I probably speak for most Skins fans here in saying: I don't know of any QB that has gotten more Patience and RESPECT from their fans than Campbell did from us, the best fans in all of sports.

Yeah, this is a thread that is more fitting for an Eagle forum on McNabb than a Redskin forum on Campbell. Campbell has had his detractors during his relatively brief and on-the-whole uneventful stay here, but they've been far outnumbered by his supporters and/or apologists. I've liked him, sympathized with the challenges he's faced here, but when he (presumably) leaves, I hardly think it will be a significant day in Redskin lore.

Have major respect for Campbell. He is a great guy and I really think that he still has some great football in front of him. I agree with the OP. Some fans really took for granted what he did for this team. I think that if McNabb were behind last year's line, h wouldn't have fared much better. Campbell will catch on elsewhere and I will route for him because he is a class act.

McNabb in. Campbell out. No respect due. Just sign the sheet and find a team to backup the starting QB.

Thats rIGHT JC!!!!

Make like a baby, and HEAD OUT!!!!!!

[DBUCHANON101]

Ok lets be reasonable here. JC, thanks for the memories. Ill never forget the time you
Threw the bomb to Moss for the game winner vs the Saints.
Drove the team back against the Panthers with the big play to Cooley.
And the time you.................. uh, thats all i got.

He has been nothing but classy throughout this process and the last couple of years when frankly he has at times been treated in less than a professional manner by this organization. For Jason's sake and his own development I hope he gets to go to a team where he can have a fresh start.

I'm sure there are those within the organization, up too and including Dan Snyder that truly appreciate what Jason tried to accomplish for the team. Unfortunately, situations and circumstances (some beyond his control) rendered it difficult for him to be as successful as they may have liked for him to be.

Jason will forever have his detractors with various reasons for not liking him, and while efforts were made to upgrade the position, it does not mean he was any less appreciated or should be demeaned for his efforts.

You gave me an idea...Shuler jersey off e-Bay...change nameplate...ba-boom. Cheap McNabb jersey.




I agree...this thread is premature. I think he COULD end up staying and at some point, come in to play if McNabb goes down.

Thanks JC for the headaches and underaverage seasons. Now we have a QB who can throw a touchdown pass to a WR before the middle of the season. You are a class act but I am glad it will be with another team now!! Goodbye

An Eagles forum would NEVER make a thread to show respect to a player, ESPECIALLY McNabb.



Yes...another chance to post it...

Some folks need to be reminded that poor on-field performance does not mean that is some Campbell bad-character dude who deserves to be jailed and put in solitary.

I've been tempted to do a search on all of the debates between the Campbell supporters and the detractors over the past few seasons. There was a time when what seemed like a good solid majority were incredulous at the idea that JC might not be the quarterback of the future after all. Some were beside themselves at the thought that anyone even dare suggest it.

I guess most people had hope at the beginning -- personally, my optimism for him faded faster than others. I always had some leeway for him because the receivers were suspect, and the O-line by late 2008 and throughout '09 end gave him no chance.

So I sort of wanted to call out all those people who argued practically to the death that JC is the QB the future, that he just needs one more chance. But I won't.

As for the "respect" that he is due? Well ... he seemed like a nice fella.

How about that?

Yes, very nice post. It's tough for "fans" to step back and take a honest look at their players. JC, while a dedicated, tough, stand up guy, is not a guy that's going to lead this franchise to championships. He's a decent, maybe slightly above average qb who's a great guy from all accounts.

It's only natural for people to have hope and optimism early on. Good for you if you "figured it out" quicker than others. If this told you so moment makes you feel better go for it, I'm sure you've never been wrong on things before.

Who knows really, under different conditions things might have worked out better for JC. In the end though he's a solid QB, not a bum as some want to make him out to be. Will he ever be a franchise guy? Probably not. But can he be a solid starter under more stable conditions than what has been the Washington Redskins during the Snyder/Cerrato era? I think so.
