[QUOTE=hesscl34;245002]Wow. Joe didn't make that call (I bet). That was all Snyder.[/QUOTE]

Nope. Joe Gibbs said that he's the one who makes the decisions, he is the one who takes the heat, and he is the one who decided to make the move for Campbell.

I'm excited to see Jason finally!

He always says that....

.. I know I'm one of the ONLY ones on this board that likes MB, but I think he was a stand up guy and he was our only shot at improving this year. Oh well, if it's over it's over....

... Onto JC.

I'll bet Gibbs made the call along with Al.

If JC is the ONE, these are very exciting times!

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

Good for Jason. But let me ask this. A rookie QB, without Portis-am I the only one who thinks next week (the next few weeks in fact) will be a very scaled back basic offense with, yes, a lot of short passes?

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

now all JC has to do is win 6 of 7 & get us in the playoffs

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

They asked if it was strictly Gibbs move...


He said yes, but it was tough one....Jason has been preparing for a 1 1/2 now, and it's his time.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

Snyder might not have made this decision but he definitely is happy with it, Packed house to see campbell against the panthers in two weeks!!!!!!!!
At least it'll be something to be excited for, I definitely was not excited to see the eagles game.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

Is anyone else really nervous that Campbell is going to come in and be really crappy, like Kyle Boller crappy? This isn't to say that I want Old Man Brunell out there anymore, because I really don't, but I'm starting to be very suspicious of most of the moves that the team has made the past few years in terms of player evaluation.
I'm worried that Gibbs might be wrong about Campbell, just like he was wrong about Brunell, and we'll have wasted so much time and effort on Campbell already.

Damn Redskins, they've scarred me for life.

Oh well, give'em hell Campbell!

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

Now if I see JC Sucks threads next week I will officially shoot myself. It's going to be a long 7 weeks!!! Now is the time to stick with this team and see if the future has any promise!

Hail!

Yes, you are, but we all know you're nuts.

Watch for the sexy long ball. Plenty, plenty TD's. We love it long time.

No more sucky, lots of f**ky!

No reason to doubt the guy....You're not the only one who likes MB. I was big time on the Brunell bandwagon. I think he's a stand up guy, and I thank him for taking us as far as he could, but I am excited about seeing what Jason Campbell can do for us.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

Who gives a sh@t. If they come out with the same effort we will be humiliated again.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

Without Portis, with this D, and with this playcalling, I see Campbell having a bad outing in TB (180 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs). Nonetheless, I'm happy.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

It's about freaking time.

And Hess, if #8 was our only chance this year, why did anyone even bother showing up?

While I certainly don't expect a miracle playoff run, I certainly expect improved production from the QB.

You're not the only one who thinks that!

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

Should have been done 2 weeks ago but what can you do? brunell had his chances and I think that campbell can't do any worse than throwing to the checkdown at least he can scramble has a powerful arm and will not just throw to 2 receivers i.e cooley and moss . brandon lloyd can stretch the field as well as any receiver on our roster for once a receiver can be hit in stride it's just a damn shame portis wont be along for the ride I can pretty much guarantee we will also more of duckett!!!

Scaled back, yes. But that doesn't mean short passes necessarily. It may mean more turnovers, but at least we get to see what we've got in Campbell. This is exciting, but it's the only trick Gibbs has left in his bag.

Campbell starting, and Duckett in line for more carries, if we weren't 3-6 I'd be jumping for joy.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

yeah, campbell is gonna struggle, he's no rothlisburger. Peyton threw many many interceptions his first year, and rivers has tomlinson. Those are rare exceptions, but we have more of a team foundation than certain teams that threw their rookies out there like the niners and texans, we actually have a respectable O-line.

Hopefully some of those 3 INT's will be balls that he threw DOWNFIELD!

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

Scaled back offense? Are you guys out of your mind?

We were limited to 5-10 yard passes on one side of the field with #8.

Has anyone watched the first nine games this year?

To me Brunell had the support but not the trust of the team. The D knew he was only in for three downs and played like they gave the same effort.

That will change with JC coming in.

Yup.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

Very happy to hear the news. Time to see what Campbell can do, I was a little nervous that Gibbs was going to turn to Collins, good to see he hasn't completely lost his head.

Campbell will take more shots downfield, but don't expect him to be coming out firing bombs just yet. Gibbs will work with him slowly.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

Here in Reston, It just stopped raining, the sky cleared, and sun is shinning.

[QUOTE=skinsguy;245074]Campbell will take more shots downfield, but don't expect him to be coming out firing bombs just yet. Gibbs will work with him slowly.[/QUOTE]

I dunno. On the one hand, Gibbs will likely want to ease him into the position. On the other hand, JC is known for his accuracy on the deep ball so Gibbs might be tempted to exploit that talent.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

I'm extremely elated. This is certainly the move I have thought was called for. I don't expect miracles from Jason, but maybe we can see a QB who will drop back, plant, and throw the football, enabling the offense to operate in a more fluid rythm. It's going to be a growing process, but I'll have more patience with a young QB making mistakes than an old vet whose time has come.

The thing that Cambell will give them is the opportunity to throw short/mid/and deep anywhere on the field. He will also be able to scramble for 2 yards if need be.

The real question is what happens if Campbell plays well and wins. Then the coaches look like idiots for waiting this long.

Lack of defense is still a big problem!

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

I'm glad and have called for this for a while.
JC is ready and will play well and let's hope many other guys folks step up a few notches.

It's nice to have hope back in D.C.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

It would be so great to hear the PA announcer say in two weeks

"...and at quarterback.......from Auburn.....#17....JASON CAMPBELL and hear the roar of the crowd. That will make Fed Ex so loud and it will continue for the whole game. We could be looking at a real home feild advantage for once.


But first....Campbell gets some of TB. This is going to be fun to watch.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

Gibbs just couldn't stop all the voices. or the mounting whispers around him.

seeing Clinton Portis there broken basically summed up this year. the spirit of the team was broken. something just absolutely had to change.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

if JC plays terribly, i bet he'll still be cheered like crazy. it's all about looking ahead now. huge fundamental shift.

Re: Breaking News - JC to start Sunday
 

We now have renewed hope.
