Cambell blasts redskins, says he was "scapegoat"

Unrealistic. I said it then and I'm saying it again, Campbell was not the problem. He needed a better supporting cast. Getting McNabb was a waste. Campbell would have done the same job and that third round draft pick could have been used on a position player that could help the team in the long run. Now the Skins have to rebuild at quarterback, all over again.

Campbell should admit that he was given the keys to the castle and took it for granted. This guy is quite a salesman when it comes to marketing himself. Thank God he is gone and I wish him well with his new team.

Just wonder what his new coach will do with him after they go after yet another cast-off QB. Of course we can't say anything better because what we have here needs to be improved on.

But, at least Grossman can read defenses better than Campbell or McNabb can and gets rid of the ball quicker than they ever will.

Campbell had what was it 5 or 6 Offensive coordinators while with the Skins not to mention and O line that was not quit hall of fame.....how dare he?
You also give your buddy Rex way to much credit he had the luxury of working with KS in texas before coming to the Skins ,DM is 10 times the QB Rex Grossman is.

Which Donovan McNabb have you been watching this season?? He's done.

For us he's probably done, but put him on the right team and I bet DM lights it up!

DM5/Redskins was awkward and felt weird from the start. As excited as I am that he is here, it should have never happened. I wish him all the best.

Rex Grossman is a backup quarterback for a reason. His nickname should be, FUMBLE! That's exactly what happens when he is hit. McNabb is done in DC. The Skins need a new signal caller. Grossman is a stopover.

Nailed it! I couldn't agree more.

If you're not accurate you're not accurate.. if you can't progress in your reads well... it want entirely his fault but he's no Manning

[firstdown]

Not really a big deal. I would think that any QB that gets let go would feel that way.

[skinsfan69]

i wish the guy nothing but the best cause he's a stand up high character guy. i really like jason campbell. was he treated like shit? probably. but to be honest that's life as an nfl starting qb and if you've got thin skin then it's probably not the job for you. hell drew brees was basically run out of san diego and made the most of his new opportunity. campbell has never really never grabbed the bull by the horns here or in oakland. serviceable nfl starter. nothing more, nothing less.

[Alvin Walton]

If Snyder gave me a few million bucks he could treat me like shit every day.

The headline, of course, is misleading because Campbell didn't blast the Redskins.

What I thought he did do, in a very indirect way, was come off as very, very critical of Dan Snyder and the way Snyder personally treated him. But I don't think he said anything about the Redskins outside of 1) things didn't go well, and 2) the team subsequently got rid of him.

In any event I like JC, but he's not in the situation like the CB we traded to the Colts who spoke with the media and said the Skins had issue's. JC got traded from one 3 ring circus to another 3 ring circus if not a worse 3 ring circus. There is no wiggle room here. He can complain all he wants but in the end he's still dealing with the same type of BS with Al Davis.

Difference is Al Davis wants him there.

Yep. Davis always liked big arm QBs that can get the ball downfield. Campbell is definitely in a better situation there if he can hold onto the starting job. Oakland has a lot of talent, and actually went 6-0 in their division (yet missed the playoffs!!!)

LOL, All our QB's are scapegoats. He should keep his mouth shut at this point.
