268 comp / 519 att / 25 TD / 21 INT

Hey, believe it or not, that's the projection based on the way he's played over 4 games. And one would expect him to get better as time goes on, which isn't even accounted for.

Am I saying Campbell is going to be the next Peyton Manning? Uhh, no. (Although I wouldn't mind.) But what I am saying is anyone who is already up in arms that Campbell hasn't made an impact are the ones who are really smoking something.

Very few 1st year QB's ever have that kind of success right away.

I agree that Campbell is going to be good, eventually. Knowing the Skins luck, we'll trade him before that....

7. Keep Campbell in

I like this one because I think staying healthy is the key. Staying healthy builds a bond between players and helps consistency.

Now ask yourself if you could live with those numbers from a first year QB?

i just hope snyder and gibbs remain patient with him

[CanadianSkin]

I think Synder and Gibbs will. We did trade up to get him and Gibbs knows rookies need time. I think next year he will be good, Brunell just needs to guide him in the right direction.

Really, he just needs to get his completion % up. If he does that, the yards/attempt will come up with it. Know when it's smart to take the shot downfield, but just because it's 1 v 1 doesn't mean you have to make the low percentage pass. It may be the best throw, but JC should still be reading the field.

Is this like AA? (Not our worthless used-to be safety, now punt block guy, but Alcholics Anonymous? (sp))

Do we have to apologize or hug anyone?

My name is JWSleep, and I've been depressed about the skins for months now...

I have a hard time with #7 as Gibbs et al have done nothing to gain my trust that they can evaluate personell and make correct decision in that area.

I agree with teh other 6.

Too bad you missed the Superbowl years. You would have more faith if you could remember them.

Seven Steps to Redskin Renewal

1. Admit that the 2006 Washington Redskins will not make the playoffs.

2. Admit that the 2006 Washington Redskins are not that good.

3. Admit that the 2006 Washington Redskin organization has not put the team in the best position to win football games.

4. Accept that for the remainder of the season, the 2006 Washington Redskins are in a rebuilding mode.

5. Accept that for the remainder of the season, the fans should expect improvement, not necessarily wins.

6. Accept that for the remainder of the season, Jason Campbell at times will look like a rookie.

7. Trust that Joe Gibbs and his staff will access the team's strengths and weaknesses and adjust in the offseason accordingly.

I simpy don't trust Gibbs anymore.

I remember those years very well. But back then he wasn't making the personel moves. You can also give Ritchie Petibone some credit too. W/out Ritchie does Gibbs wins 3 SB's ???

Yeah, it's hard to trust him when he's contradicted himself so many times since he's been back. They made a guy like AA the highest paid player in league history at his position but he can't even crack the 3rd string and we're supposed to have faith that they can accurately evaluate anyone?
That might be too big a leap of faith for me at this point.

If this was anyone else he would be run out of town.
