I don't know how anyone can state that Campbell is "our guy". He didn't take a snap with the first team until 3 weeks ago. The only reason that he is getting a shot is because the season is over. Him playing is a move to keep the fans interested as much as anything. It is no coincidence that the Campbell jersey was front and center on Redskins.com the second that it was annouced that he was the starter.

Our secondary coaches don't say a word to eachother but the marketing department sure as hell knows what is going on.

That being said, I like Campbell and think he is a good player. That doesn't mean I would object to a good QB coming in here to compete with him especially if it means Brunell is gone for good.

Every team can use more than one quality QB.

Campbell is our guy cause we traded up to get him in the 1st round, and unless he is a complete bust, generally people in those situations are "our guy" Our team cant afford 2 quality QB's. With the limited cap space that we have, we need to spend wisely, and fill the gaps-a team is only as strong as it's weakest link, if one guy on our d sucks, the offense can just pick on him all day long to make the rest of our team look like they suck.

Beasts, no disrespect but you aren't talking about the Washington Redskins. We can't afford two QBs? What happened last year when we needed a receiver? We bought two for 30 million a pop. With a few moves we will have plenty of cap space. Next about the draft picks. They don't care how many draft picks they used on him. If what you said was true, they would have started him in week one. They do not care about draft picks period. Spend wisely? Really, what team are you talking about?

We'd have to restructure alot of contracts to get Byron and adress all our other needs, realistically we could afford Byron, but only without adressing our other needs. Never has Joe Gibbs experienced busts such as these, and he is a reasonable man so he will learn from his mistakes and be more careful before making his next move. Also, Jay Cutler is to the Broncos as Matt Leinart is to the Cardinals as Vince Young is to the Titans as Alex Smith is to the 49ers as Jason Campbell is to the Skins, none of them started in week one, (except for Alex) but all of them are "the guy" of their team, the QB for at least the next few years.
