Re: Jason Campbell's development
 

[quote=GTripp0012;310672]I'm not sure why people are defending him after this season, but they are. Never say never--someone will always prove you wrong.[/quote]

I wouldn't say that I'm a Lloyd defender, but I'm in the camp that thinks he's a lot better than the numbers he put up last year. I went to a couple games last season, and being able to see the entire field rather than what the cameras show you at home gives a different perspective.

I saw Lloyd get decent seperation on several occasions. The problem is he wasn't the first option on most plays. Brunell's reads 90% of the time were first option, then checkdown. Campbell's reads were the same way in his early starts because of inexperience. With Campbell being more comfortable in the offense and having gained some experience, I think B. Lloyd with have a pretty solid season this year.

He's also a very good blocker, which is rare in wide receivers.

But anyway, I'm sticking with Lloyd. Maybe I'll get a Brandon Lloyd jersey and walk in the background of the NFL Live set just to piss GTripp off

Re: Jason Campbell's development
 

i agree with you southpaw, lloyd got very little in the way of first-option looks and should have a better year . .

to me there is nothing more exciting then having a potential franchise quarterback developing right before our eyes. will he be the next peyton, mcnair, mcnabb or just a decent qb like bledsoe, hasselback, plummer????

next year we should have an idea . . go skins!!

I think he is better than the stats show too. But he is going to have to drop the attitude and ball this year. Put up or shut up. I think ARE should be the 2nd wr.

Re: Jason Campbell's development
 

My only concern with Campbell is that he doesn't have the big receiver who can move the chains. If you look at our receivers they are very small speed guys. I would like us to find a big physical guy to complement Moss. Many of you may say that guy is Cooley. I love Cooley but he isn't the guy that is going to run a 5-8 yard slant from a wide out slot and get your the first down on third down. What do you all think?

Could not agree w/ u more on this. We need a guy who is 6'3 or 6'4 who is a possesion wr.

Wow, if this won't get you geeked about Campbell nothing will:

[B]A CAMPBELL SPECIAL[/B]

At this time of year, during organized team activities, many players are said to look good.

But Washington quarterback Jason Campbell is said to look especially good.

After two years in the league as an understudy, and four hours each day this winter and spring in Washington's training facility simply studying, Campbell is said to look like a different quarterback, Redskins officials said this week.

One observer even predicted, boldly, that Campbell would go to the Pro Bowl this season.

Of course it's a long way from Washington in May to Hawaii in February, but Campbell has demonstrated improved technique, understanding and confidence. And after a week of OTA's, he has been the most talked about player in the Redskins organization.

"It's unanimous from everybody," one Redskins official said this week. "You can definitely see it. He's like a totally different quarterback. The receivers have been like, 'Wow.' "

Much of the credit belongs to Washington offensive coordinator Al Saunders and quarterbacks coach Bill Lazor, who have poured their energies and time into Campbell's offseason training.

But Campbell also has recognized that the Redskins need him to step up in a way that Patrick Ramsey and Mark Brunell and every other Washington quarterback in recent seasons hasn't.

So far he has. But the key will be whether he will continue it in training camp and then into the regular season.

I love JC, and I think that he is our future. While it is nice to hear all of these great things about him this offseason, I still cannot help but realize that they are still in underwear and helmets right now. I will get excited when I see the same things in game situations.

You're gonna give me wet dreams with that article, Matty.

The problem with possession receivers is that they have no versitility or added value on special teams. Gibbs likes football players, not position players.
