Will Jason Campbell return?
 

The Big Issues: Will Campbell Return? (from Washington Post)

With two quiet weeks looming until organized team activities resume June 1, this seems like a good time to get your take on the team's burning issues. First up: the QB or, as Jim Zorn says it, the kewbie. Given that owner Daniel Snyder attempted to trade for Jay Cutler and considered moving up in the NFL draft to select quarterback Mark Sanchez, Jason Campbell's status is questionable.

Do you think this will be quarterback Jason Campbell's last season with the Redskins and why?

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

This is being discussed in a million other threads, but whatever.

I say yes...

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

yes.....

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

NO, unless he breaks out and leads us to a deep playoff run in which we know DS will open the checkbook and make him forget the past.

i freakin hope so!

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

JC will return. I think he'll have a solid year and put his QB rating in the high 80s, possibly into the 90s. He'll probably be resigned to a long term deal before he hits the FA market. Who's out there in 2010, Manning and Rivers are the only two, and I expect they'll be locked up before they ever hit the market. Are we going to bring in a rookie QB and set the franchise back a couple of years, doubtful.

how many jc threads are really needed for the warpath to survive in these tough economic times

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

If we can keep him off his back, he'll work for us.If the O line problem keeps,Jay will get the blame.

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

I don't know. I was going to say something like it all depends on Zorn. If Zorn returns next yr. If Zorn truly is lobbying for him. If the team tries to hire another big named QB next yr. The great QB's even when faced with adversity find a way to shine or get the job done. I don't think we have seen that with JC. I think he's a really good QB but perhaps just not great. He shows flash's that he could be great like the first 8 games last yr then when adversity hits like the last 8 games we get simply good JC.

If he shows improvement like he did last yr for the first 8 games, and can somewhat sustain it through out the season, then I can see DS giving him another contract. I just don't think it will be as fat as his original one is and I can see JC balking.

I also believe the front office is no different then the people on here. I'll bet some think he's the bomb. Others probably think he suck. and yet others probably think he's good enough to get the job done untill one of the great ones comes available or show up in the draft. I don't know if Sanchez would have been better or not but I bet they thought so. Which is why he was courted. Every QB has a flaw though and it's the coach's job to either hide it as much as possible or if your the opponent utilize it. I think JC's was discovered and utilized. Hopefully Zorn can fix the problem as best he can with the shorter drops and quicker releases.

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

Yes... if the O-line protects him and if the 2nd yr WR's (Thomas, Kelley) step up.

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

Its all in his hands or arm, with all the pressure he will be under this season he can be just a lump of coal or he can shine like a diamond, I personnally hopes he shines, he has the tools lets see if he can master them.

Will I care about this thread one year from now? TBD

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

I hope not.

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

Only if he performs this coming season.

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

[quote=Sonny9TD;556928]I hope not.[/quote]

So you're hoping for a losing season I guess.

If he has a Pro Bowl year you're not going to hope he comes back?

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

What's Patrick up to?

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

Unless JC has a pro bowl, playoff year he will not return. Would like to him lead this team this year and for years to come, I think he has the tools to do it. My gut feeling is he will not from what I have seen this off season. Now I know Dan is quick to change his mind, and I believe it will take a playoff run to do that. I think Zorn and JC are in the same boat.

I am with you Matty, but it all depends on this season, that is it. If JC sucks or is just average like last season it is bye bye JC and hello Colt(either Brennan or McCoy). If he is just average this season, it won't matter if he stays or goes, as it will mean the O line has failed again and the WRs suck ass again. If those things happen we are back to square one and might as well clean house.

IF JC doesn't vastly improve with the same scheme and hopefully more mature young wideouts and a healthy O line I am not sure you would want him long term. It is playoffs or bust for both Zorn and JC. I think Zorn was a knee jerk type of hire, as Snyder must have been blind sided by Gibbs' sudden departure. Cowher, and co weren't available or didn't want anything to do with Snyder, so he picked Zorn. Only a wildcard or better will save him and JC. The Cutler and Sanchez debacles have proven what the FO really thinks about JC.

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

JC will respond like Drew Brees did when the Chargers drafted Rivers. 12 wins and All Pro.

Re: Will Jason Campbell return?
 

I'll answer only because I'm new here (even though I've answered this & had a dozen fights over it on another Redskins site)...


I like Campbell. I think he's better then the "haters" give him credit for. Jaws had him as the MVP of the League halfway thru the season last year. What people fail to realize often times is that no matter who we have at QB, if he spends 3 of 4 passing plays running for his life or staring up at the sky, he isn't going to succeed. The OL was the biggest issue we had after week 9 & seemingly 6 blockers could not stop 3 blitzers for the remainder of the season. The RBs, TEs, most of the WRs were not available to make catches because they were now employed to help protect Campbell so that he could throw to the only 1 or 2 WRs left that were NOT occupied by blockers. And with that came less time to throw, which meant less time to go thru progressions which often led to a 1 to 3 step drop back & quick out to Moss, Cooley, or ARE.

That said, I do NOT think Campbell will be back next year, regardless of what happens. I don't think this FO has learned all of it's lessons in this area & this offseasons activities has shown us yet again that their lack of faith in him can deteriorate fast. I think Campbell will have a break out season & prove the "haters" wrong...and then thumb his nose at us & go somewhere else to get away from the enormous pressure that comes with being the starting QB for the Washington Redskins that seemingly does not exist in other cities, at least not at this level.

Now, I am NOT a Jason Campbell fan in the sense that I think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. What I am a fan of is consistency & sticking with the team that we have & stopping the merry-go-round to allow what we have in place to settle. If you look at the winning franchises in the League, you don't see the revolving door that exists here. The coaches, the QBs, most of the core guys are there year in & year out. The Colts, Patriots, Steelers, Eagles, Giants...all have remained with the coaches & QBs they have had for the last several years.

The Steelers had a coach that didn't win a Super Bowl until his 15th season with them. That never would have happened here. We, as a fanbase, but more importantly, the FO would not have tolerated such failure & would have ousted Cowher in 3 or 4 seasons. They also have a QB that had the worst QB rating for a winning QB in the Super Bowl. The very next offseason, he did a faceplant into some woman's windshield & the Steelers stuck by him anyway. We would have clammered to trade his dumb ass for doing something so stupid as to nearly kill himself trying to be a stuntman without a helmet.

My point is, I would like the merry-go-round to stop & allow someone the opportunity to develop into a great QB instead of believing, falsely, that we can trade for or draft one that will make an immediate impact that hasn't been seen here before. In the 30 years I can remember watching football, I have NEVER seen the Redskins draft a QB or pick one up in FA that made that kind of impact on the field right away...except Heath Shuler. And that wasn't the kind of impact we were looking for.

So, my answer is, no, Campbell will not be here next year, despite that I would like to see him here for another 5 seasons, if not longer.
