Is This a Make or Break Season for Jason Campbell?

Campbell will make big steps forward simply by being in the offense one more year. Every QB in our division has been in the same system since they became a starter. Poor Campbell has learned like 24 offenses in his college and pro career. Last year it seemed he was thinking too much...and not just reacting and playing. That comes from familiarity with the playbook. I'm a firm believer in consistency breeding success. Something the Redskins as a whole havent been known for since the 80's.

Campbell seems to lack fire and leadership. I was frustrated in his play more than once down the stretch because he made quite a few dumb plays. I would have NO problem seeing Colt Brennan take over this offense. He has swagger and a gun and displays a certain will to win. It will all come down to training camp. If Colt makes strides forward and plays well, Campbell's hook could get shorter.

I don't think he lacks either, he just doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve, which is actually one of the resons I like him. At the end of the year when he couldn't find anyone open he tucked the ball & ran quite a bit.

He brought the team back to tie it in the last game v. SF & I think that drive was indicative of his will to win. He likely got frustrated w/the lack of open recievers & decided to make something happen on his own.

As for "dumb plays" I really didn't see anything other than typical mistakes all year from him. He wasn't given a chance in several games, e.g. pittsburgh.

Giants fans said the same thing about Eli. I love Campbell's demeanor - I want a QB that can keep his emotions an even keel. He will improve in year two in this offense, plus expect better production out of the young receivers. A healthy Randy Thomas and an upgrade at RT are the only question marks that might prevent the offense from taking a big step forward.
