Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie
[quote=GTripp0012;618722]Campbell's issue appears to be that he's been handed a "now or never" scenario, and then given a team with no chance to win now. It's pretty obvious that Campbell is not the right quarterback for this team. Campbell's defense is not trash, it's giving him plenty of chances to win games, but the expectation from the front office is that Campbell leads an offensive resurgence that scores lots of points.
[B]You're getting a lot of fumbles and interceptions and careless play from Campbell that seem to just be a result of the situation.[/B] Erratic quarterback play is not what this team requires right now, but the front office pretty much got what they asked for.[/quote]The problems I've mentioned about JC are his and his alone. I'm not sure what situation you mean. He can control those things. He can't control a ball getting batted at the line for an INT, and I didn't slam him for that play. He can't control Heyer and Williams missing blocks, and in those instances I've not criticized him. His ball security has been poor and it's not improving. His long release and his bad habit of "patting" the ball before a throw causes a delay in the ball getting out and missed opportunities. His inaccuracy, missing open receivers, and not making audibles are his fault. If audibles are not available to him in the system, then that's Zorn's fault. |

[quote=SolidSnake84;618726]I'm all for moving Campbell if we could get something for him. But I dont see it. I think the FO's attempt earlier this year to trade him proved that....[/quote]Well, they could have moved him to Tampa for a second/third round pick if they had been more punctual (Tampa pulled out, not coincidentally, after KSU's pro day), but the whole plan was bad from the beginning. Have you seen what Cutler is doing this year? Campbell has never had a game as bad as Cutler has had against either Green Bay or Cincinnati this year.
If we traded Campbell at this point, we'd likely get a late round draft pick or a backup QB. But there will be a lot of QBs released from their contracts this offseason who we can bring in. The free agent class is Chad Pennington, Daunte Culpepper and a bunch of nobodies, but I could see any of the following players released: Matt Hasselbeck Mark Bulger Kellen Clemens Tavaris Jackson Alex Smith Shaun Hill Billy Volek Brodie Croyle Byron Leftwich Jim Sorgi Chris Simms Of course, the only two players on that list that would represent an upgrade over Campbell are Hasselbeck and Pennington...who are both injury risks. I think we'll address QB in the draft, but not in the first round. |
Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie
Pennington's career is likely over, and besides having an absolutley shot, raggedy throwing arm that never had strength to begin with, i dont see how he would make the difference here. The team needs the throw downfield. Chad is a great QB bu he never had the arm even in his prime before all the injuries....

Inaccuracy is a more recent problem, and no less troubling. There's plenty to not like about Campbell's play right now, but the only thing that's different between this year and last year is the expectations and consequences. The Redskins don't score points, and they are really, really hoping that Jason Campbell is the reason. But, I think we've seen that Campbell succeeding at ball security and mid-range completions and failing at them are not the difference between the Redskins scoring points and not. You and I both know that Jason Campbell is incapable of giving the Redskins what they want, and we both know he's capable of playing better than he is right now. Here's where the siutation is at fault: should Campbell be more conservative with his mechanics giving the situation, even if it would make him a better player? Protecting the ball, and not throwing INTs gives this team it's best chance to win, but it does nothing for Jason Campbell's long term future of this team. Winning 6 games because of improvements in ball security still means a change at QB next year. And that's where the problem lies: there's no incentive to do the small things (which are 100% in his control) better because Campbell is getting blamed for the big picture things which ne has no control over. And that's because we're a horrendous organization. I do not, and have not disagreed with your analysis, and I think you're doing a top notch job. At this point though, I'm finding myself (naturally) less concerned with the what (bad QB play), and more with the why. |

Yeah, never understood why Chad was somewhat of a hot commoditiy after his stint with the Jets. Alex Smith would be an intriguing FA move though. I would get Chase Daniel back, keep JC if possible, dump Collins and bring in Smith if we don't draft a QB. JC is a backup QB at best now. |

T-Jack might end up being their QB after Favre retires. |

[quote=SC Skins Fan;618651]Its a losing battle. You will not convince the believers. No argument will make them see. Just be content with the fact that the people who watch the film for a living see what you are seeing. Jaws called it all night. Greg Cossel has made the point ad nauseam. On this board Slingin' Sammy has it in black and white in his review. The old adage is "the eye in the sky doesn't lie" not "numbers are truth." If you can't see that Campbell is frankly scared to make passes then you are not watching. You can make all of the excuses you like, the guy refuses to throw into tight windows. I have said it before and Sammy said it nicely in his game review, without the ability to make quick reads, play with timing, and throw into tight windows you are a backup quarterback at the NFL level. That is what we have with Campbell. Next man.[/quote]
Dude, Jaws both praises and critisizes Campbell, Cossel has been effusive breaking down Campbell passes. As have Brian Billick, Phil Simms. Just this week Collinsworth on Doc Walker, Joey T on the Sports Reporters, John Ritchie on ESPN have all said that JC is a good QB playing behind a suspect OL. Lol, I like Sammy's reveiws too but he's no more an expert then i am. You guys share the same opinion but its still just your opinion. [quote=warriorzpath;618623]Forget the stats, forget comparing him to any other quarterback and really isolate Campbell's play. [/quote] I'm not denying that JC misses open receivers or checksdown. But rather the idea that JC does it more then other QBs and that is how a judgement is made. [quote]from the last game that Campbell was responsible for then let me know - turnovers, missed touchdowns/big plays, and awful pocket presence (leading to undue pressure and sacks). [/quote] Awful pocket presence leading to undue pressure? Really? You think JC is causing the pressure and sacks? Okay. LoL, JC pocket presence or lack thereof at the start of the game is due to previous games lack of protection. Although JC had pressure the fumble was his fault the onus is always on the ball carrier to protect the ball. Missed 'big' play? Dude, every QB misses some plays, they pointed out McNabb missing a 'big' play. [quote]I think everything on offense is predicated on and ran through the quarterback. That's why I really believe that the most important thing is to fix that position first,[/quote] OL brotha OL it starts right there. |

You know one thing about Alex Smith. Yes he's been a bust so far but he's also been through five offensive coordinators in five seasons. I'm just saying we've used that as an excuse for Campbell...

Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie
We don't need to spend high draft picks on linemen though, we just need to develop some of our young linemen (and add some more-namely OTs) and let them gel together. I think a franchise QB can help an OL more than a franchise OL can help a QB

If there's one major flaw in Campbell's development since the 6-2 start (and there's probably been a few), it's that he hasn't been particularly easy to protect.
Part of me thinks that he's given the current OL plenty of chances to get their act together, and he probably has, but there's another part of me that thinks one of the reasons that the Redskins are struggling to settle on a starting five is because Campbell's footwork from under center are so inconsistent. It seems like he's become increasingly difficult for the OL to protect, which is one of the way that player regression will manifest. Of course, if the backs would do a half decent job in blitz pickup, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation. |
Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie
The other point is: all the franchise-ness in the world wouldn't help Mike Williams or Jason Fabini be an adequate long-term tackle.
You can live with the so-called replacement level OT, but there's some guys who just shouldn't be on your roster. The Saints are getting it done with Jermon Bushrod at LT, and he can't be any better than Heyer. But the other four guys on their line are excellent, and more importantly, haven't missed a start in quite some time. |

Their OL kinda sucks too, but they really could do something down the stretch with Smith at QB. The 49ers have largely been void of talent for much of the second half of the decade, but every one of their first round draft picks since 2005 are now in the starting lineup, which I'm sure is something not a lot of franchises can boast. Well, I guess Kentwan Balmer isn't, but he was as much of a first rounder as Patrick Ramsey was. |

[quote=GTripp0012;598743]He's off to his best start as a pro, and even the sack rate which is probably the most important stat that isn't contained in QB rating is down around career-best levels.
I think he needs to protect the football better, especially on play action plays. He's almost regressed from last year in that respect.[/quote] I believe that is due in part because he is pressing. He is trying to make things happen because the offense in general is so stagnate. I can't say that I blame Campbell. You want to stand tall in the pocket, but when you get sacked 6 times and you are probably hit more than double that it is hard to not try and make something happen. |

Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie
[quote=30gut;618503]Football is a team sport.
You cannot judge a QB by their win/loss record alone. Look at the W/L records of Rodgers in Green Bay or Drew Brees w/ the Saints(prior to this year). Even when he has impeccable protection? When has he even had good protection? Save for a handful of times last game? The question you need to ask yourself is does JC makes these mistakes [I]more[/I] then other QBs? And if JC was making all these mistakes more often the other QBs playing behind a worse OL, without a running game, with a average at best receiving corps, and inconsistent to below average play calling and coaching then how is it that he's the 18th rated QB in the league? Junk yardage? The TD to Devin Thomas was junk yardage? On the drive that lead to Fred Davis TD the Eagles weren't playing prevent they were still blitzing.[/quote] Defend JC all you want. What NFL teams go 40-50 games with a QB who can't win? I'll make a bet right now that after this season he will NOT be an NFL starter. JC simply is not an NFL quality QB. Most of it is mental. There's no way you're going to tell me that JC has never had pass protection in his last 4 seasons. He not a leader and he only can perform when he has confidence [which he's lost]. It is a team sport and JC is not the teams biggest problem. But without a good QB we can never get this offense going. I'll check in next season and we'll see that the rest of the NFL realizes that Campbell doesn't have the goods. |

I do hold him accountable for overthrows, running into sacks, going threw his progressions to fast, but that doesn't stop me from supporting him. All QB do these things but it's pointed out more when you are on a losing team. JC deserves some criticism but not all of the criticism WR's, RB's, OL, TE's need to come out and say ok we realize our QB is struggling and obviously he doesn't trust us to an extent what can we do better.

No he's not. In the first half of the Philly game, there were 2 or 3 plays where he had all day to throw, and instead of going downfield, he either checked down or threw to the flat. If he was desperately trying to make something happen, he would have said eff it and let 'er rip. Even during the best streak of his career, the 6-2 start last year, he threw 8 TDs in 8 games. Big whoop. Aside from Brad Johnson and Trent Green, we've started back-up quality QBs for well over a decade now. |

And look how terrible Brees was when he went to the Saints from the Chargers. It took him a good 5 years to get acclimated. And remember how Brady came in for Bledsoe and screwed everything up. They could have gone far in the playoffs that year if only Brady had more time to learn the system. Pennington sucked last year too when he went to the Dolphins. It's all about time in the system.
