His job being on the line is nothing new.

So you're saying he can be cool and take all of it in stride?
Isn't this the same guy who a year ago multiple NFL sources said would demand a trade if the Redskins drafted Mark Sanchez??

Hey I think he should be our starting QB this year, and yeah probably reading into his statement too much... but it's that time of the year. I'm bored.

Well he said he was fine with Rex signing and he's not concerned with the team possibly drafting a QB... so yeah I'd say he is cool and can roll with it. Isn't that what he did last year?

Despite the so called "sources" last year, he never came out and said anything about wanting a trade. Considering the circumstances he handled himself quite well, and he was publically applauded in the media for the way he handled things as well.

I can guarantee you that Jason Campbell isn't looking over his shoulder at Rex Grossman or anyone else currently on the roster.

Wake up time.... Jason Campbell is just kissing the new coaches butt in reaction to Rex Grossman coming in. Just look at that statement, and consider the timing! I hate to put a damper on the enthusiasm, but look who it's coming from (man who's job is on the line) and see it from the viewpoint of being his boss...

That being said, I'm sure things are going to be run much more efficiently than with Zorn.

He mentioned other specific things as well.

Nobody has to worry about Rex Grossman. Rex is the veteran being brought in to help teach the others the system. Rex is not going to be the starter.

The thing I want to know is how long will this last. It's all well and good now, even necessary, however what about 3 or 4 years from now when the honeymoon period wears down? Was Shanahan able to get this kind of compliance to his offseason workout program like this throughout his time in Denver?

Winning gets you compliance, he wins and they will show up with bells on.

^^ Agreed ^^

As far as JC goes, I think it is time to have a couple of QBs push for his job. This new catch phrase around the park, "competition", will make this whole team better including the QB who ever the starter is. If JC wins the job in training camp then he competed and won the spot. Where in the past there was never a competition for JC. He was the incumbent starter and no one was going to push him out the door.

I feel the same way about the RB position and CP. No one has ever been in a position to compete for his job. Now we have a coach and a FO with no ties to the current players. They want to get the best football players on the field and the only way to do that is to compete for the gig.

Bringing in these guys to run this team could be the best thing for this franchise in a very long time.

Professional, was one word Jason used to describe the new and improved atmosphere around Redskin Park, I'll take some of that all the time. Good to see the guys committed to working hard and dedicating themselves to getting better because they want to be good.

Not only will Bartel start for us at QB next year, he'll go to the Pro Bowl.

well said, it really is refreshing hearing things like this come from redskins park rather than all the crap we have had the past few seasons

Captain Slip and Slide was a complete joke. The swinging door proved it, Campbell's comments confirmed it.

As bad as the O-line was last year, they would have been at worst 8-8 with Shanahan last year.

Thank goodness he is long gone.
