If his play doesn't improve, he'll be held accountable then, when he's sent packing. At this point, it sure seems likely that we're headed for an uncapped year, and i would not be shocked at all to see A LOT of "untouchables" sent packing with him.

I still don't understand why you keep bringing up Cutler and Sanchez. We were closer to getting Cutler than Sanchez, but it's pretty obvious we would have been worse off for it, which is what we were all saying at the time.
No, Campbell can't get benched this season, and yes I'd probably trade him in to get rid of Blache as well at the end of the year. I feel like our team is fundamentally flawed, and the difference of opinion here is that some people feel that you have to replace the quarterback to get a better team, but it seems clear to me that when you have a team like the Redskins, it doesn't really matter who is at QB.
Campbell is keeping us in a lot of games, but I'm thinking that's only giving the illusion that we are closer than we actually are. Without him, we'd be getting blown out every week and then maybe it would be clear that the rest of the team is a major problem that can't be ignored.
