Yeah, it's like "crap this guy is yelling at us, man I guess that means I have to block now." Lol, I don't think thats how it works. I mean a guy whos a good leader can help give an extra spark or push, but usually that can only go so far.

For what it's worth, Campbell just had his best season.

Please read my brief description of what a leader is. That would be a good starting point.

Seems to be unfair to ask that of any one player, but that's what the quarterback to me needs to be - a leader, THE leader.

Sounds like a good explanation of a leader. Still I don't think that a leader could make up for the dysfunction that was the personnel along the O-line and the fact that guys like CP had the ability to undermine the authority he did have. Also keep in mind I'm not a JC supporter, I want Bradford in here with our first pick.

I'm siding with Campbell. Portis was completely out of line and unprofessional.

Even though our viewpoints differ, I can respect this -- since you have respected my point of view.

That's more than what I can say about others who don't share my opinion.

Does that make sense to you now?

It is the HC's responsibility to have the team prepared bro. C'mon dude anyone with common sense knows that.

Of course, but who do you think the general on the field needs to be?

And to make it clear-- he isn't just a general on the field.

Well, seeing as Shanahan has publicly said that he expects JC to start next season (even though it's early and anything can happen)... I'm going to guess that this means Portis is gone.

Too much ego on this team and not enough space.

Makes perfect sense to me. I agree, Coach Campbell isn't leading the team very well.

I understand what you're saying. Who knows? Maybe Shanahan has a plan for JC and feels that he needs to give him a chance under his tutelage/system? Maybe Shanny wants to help JC take it to the next level and finally become that "field general".

BTW, its hard to be a field general when you're on your back the entire game.

Sounds like the coaching staff to me not just JC

Hahaha... Finally someone has really shoved their foot down Portis big mouth. I suspected the o-line and Sellers were tired of his antics, drinking coolaid while everyone else was busting their ass off during practice and then b*tch on Sundays about horrible blocking etc...

The Skins were never a cohesive unit as long as their were preferential treatment for a few. Bye bye Portis, maybe in the UFL you can finally skip all practice and just turn up on gameday with your playbook and play.

Yeah, I don't know why I waste my time in responding.

People on here are so ignorant and close-minded sometimes.
