I gone through countless Anti Campbell threads and other posters have said all I have come across is :

"I am not sold on him", "he is inaccurate", "he is a turnover machine" (- Which made me laugh) "He holds onto the ball too long","he is slow", "too laid back", "I just don't like him" etc etc .

Yes I would like to see more from him but what I have seen, keeping the team in games, bringing us from behind, making gutsy calls plays and year on year improvements, willingness to put the time in the film room and training ground is something I like to see from the QB .

If someone, anyone could give me concrete reasons why Campbell should not at least be given a chance to be the Redskins QB of the future other than jut a "feeling" or a stereotype I would be glad to debate it with them .

I am not a reverse bigot, I think anyone should make their way in the world based on merit, it shouldn't matter about race religion sexual preference or anything else .

The problem is the world isn't like that and these things do make a difference.


I wasn't isolating anyone and calling them a racist . I am not using it as an insult, if you see it like that then maybe that is your problem not mine .


People judge others, sometimes subconsciously sometimes because they choose to .

I think it is naive to think every single anti Campbell comment is based soley on his on field production and not on the stereotype of black athletes some people hold .

Why don't you show us some of these "concrete" racial reasons that people do not like Campbell before you come out a say something related to race. I haven't seen 1 post on here where someone was using race as a reason for Campbell's average play. So where are you getting your ideas of race being the reason??

There is little concrete evidence race is an issue I only suggested it might be an issue but there is plenty of evidence to suggest people are using Jasons colour as a reason to profile him as either slow or inaccurate .

Is Eli Manning inaccurate, how about Ben Rothlesberger or Tony Romo ? How about Kerry Collins, Kyle Orton, jake Dellhomme ? This year is the first time Eli has completed more than 60% of his passes ever in his career yet Campbell who threw more and completed more passes is labled the inaccurate one, how is that right ?

You would think if he was slow and telegraphed his passes was slow on his release and locked onto one reciever then NFL quality DBs would feast upon him, yet we played the 1,2,3,5 and 7th ranked pass defenses, we played teams which ranked 1,2,7,9 and 14th in team inteceptions, sometimes more than once, this season yet Campbell comes out of the season with only 6 interceptions ... How do those facts gel ? If he is slow and telegraphs all his passes and cannot read defenses .
