F it let ARE start a QB next year. Campbell is pretty fast maybe he can be a receiver.

Re: Did anyone See!
 

there is no way a first rounder would wait 2-3 from now to get an opportunity to play. I doubt young JC will be will ing to not start next year...if he comes into camp next year without it being his job to lose, i think he demands to be traded.
i would.

Re: Did anyone See!
 

if campbell doesnt start next year, chances are he cant play in this league. and no way to leftwich. always hurt

[quote=Daseal;240770]Fox Pregame said that Gibbs said Campbell would be ready to start in [B]2-3 years[/B]
Which to me either proves he royally fucked up getting Campbell, or he thinks Brunell will be around that long. Either way, if this proves true I won't be happy.[/quote]
It proves only that fox pre-game is innacurate. I want to see in paper where Gibbs said that. I don't buy it.

I'm guessing next season JC will be taking over the reigns. If he's not at that point, then we can start worrying about Campbell or bust.

he is having his best season as a pro in all 4 major categories. dont believe me? look it up[/QUOTE]

I know MB is having his best season (stats-wise) as a pro. That said the only stat that counts is the record and this team is down low in that stat. Most of MBs stats are padded dink passes (especially from the Hou game).

[QUOTE=irish;240776]If JC was ready and looked good in practice he'd be playing. Gibbs says they are playing the QB that gives them the best chance to win and he does not think JC is that man. If Gibbs thought for a minute JC gave the team a better chance to win he'd play him but he doesnt so JC sits.

I dont know if JC is good or bad (I'm not watching practice) but Gibbs et al do watch and so far he has shown them he's not ready yet. Like I said, lots of less experienced QBs have shown enough to become starters ahead of shakey vets, JC aint one of them.[/QUOTE]



Joe Gibbs has never said Jason Campbell is not ready to play, as a matter of fact it's quite the contrary. The last time the question was put to Gibbs he said they think the world of Jason Campbell, and also said he thinks he can win games for us now. Where this idea that Campbell is not ready came from I have no idea, but it's pure conjecture and time to be laid to rest. No one in the Redskins organization has made that statement. The only reason he's not playing is because Gibbs is enamoured with Brunell and will not make a change until he absolutely has too, and knowing Gibbs, we understand that whether we like it/accept it or not.

Re: Did anyone See!
 

I like it. Another high-priced signing of an injury prone, inconsistent QB. He'd fit right in.

[quote=Buster;240925]I don't want Leftwich. Not just because of Campbell either. Byron's a great athlete but he's fragile! He's ALWAYS getting hurt.[/quote]
I wouldn't characterize Leftwich as a great athlete, he's a tall, accurate passer in the mold of a young Drew Bledsoe. He has far less mobility than even Brunell at this stage, so you had better resurrect the old Hogs if you're planning on putting a statue behind center. Campbell brings far more to the table in terms of raw athleticism. I say give the kid a chance before bringing in yet another vet. Gibbs's handling of the QB situation since his return leaves ALOT to be desired.

Re: Did anyone See!
 

Go ahead and sign Leftwich. All the Skins need is another over-rated, over-priced free agent that will finally play his way to the bench. Has anyone noticed how the Adam Achuletta experiment has failed. Troy Vincent has only been with the team a few weeks and he has already taken over Arch's starting job and relegated Arch to team specialist (suicide squad and situational quasi-linebacker-safety). Oh, and by the way, throw in a few draft picks, the Skins don't need those either.

HAS ANYONE SEEN T.J. DUCKETT LATELY?

Where was he when the Skins floundered 8 goal line attempts?

Re: Did anyone See!
 

2-3 years is just stupid. Let's face it. Gibbs still has not adjusted to today's NFL. In today's NFL YOU DO NOT GIVE UP 2 #1 PICKS ON A QB AND SIT HIM FOR TWO YEARS. That is why the team sucks. Two number one's invested on someone who is on the bench. Along with two #2's on Rocky M. But who's counting?

Re: Did anyone See!
 

Rumours, people, rumours. Yawn.

(Here's how the Leftwich story comes about: Leftwich's agent calls FOX or whoever, says "Skins" becuase they are famous for throwing around the money, next thing you know, his client has some hype. AND he grew up in the DC area, so it's got to be true... )

Re: Did anyone See!
 

well Gibbs has mentioned that the most important 2 positions on the team are the QB and the backup QB. I wouldn't mind bringing leftwitch in for an open competition in the pre-season. He grew up a skins fan, and he's got quite an arm. He's not mobile, but he's a hell of a gunslinger and he's tough as nails. I just think David Gerrard is a runner, who adds another dimension to their offense that is harder to defend.

they gave a 1, a 3, and a 4 for campbell...not 2 #1s

[I]Everybody’s situation is a little bit different. We think Jason (Campbell) is ready to play right now. We think he could win football games right now. It just so happens that Mark’s (Brunell) the starter. - Joe Gibbs 10/11/2006

I think that Joe Gibbs is afraid of possible turnovers with Campbell. Maybe he feels the experience of a veteran who does not take chances with the ball gives the team the best chance to win. Look at the turnover ratio of all teams through 8 games this year. Only two teams with a minus ratio have winning records (Seattle and New Orleans). Arizona is the only exception with a losing record and a plus ratio.

Gibbs doesn’t want Campbell to have to learn to read defenses under pressure if he can help it. It is obvious that the problem with the team is not all the quarterback position. As long as Brunell is not the sole reason for losing I don’t think we will see Campbell playing soon. (unless the season is lost)

As for Leftwich, if they will take Achuletta for him he would be a good back up for Campbell next year. If they want anything more than that, forget it !
