If we don't get Cutler, should we extend Campbell?

Now that the cat's out of the bag, if the trade for Cutler doesn't go through Jason Campbell doesn't have a hair on his ass if he doesn't boycott all team activities and force the Skins to trade him.

I think we can now fairly assume that most of the crazy stuff done by the Skins FO originated in the mind of Dan Snyder.

Jason Campbell is not a crybaby like Cutler.

It's a business. Forcing a trade would be a way for Campbell to get a rich new contract from another team.

Which is EXACTLY why I hate the idea of swapping Campbell out for Cutler.

If we build up the line, JC will be a pro-bowler and have a great career with us.

Campbell worked VERY hard on his own to learn the system last year and played very well until the line completely broke down.

To those who criticize Campbell's and the team's second-half last year, are we all forgetting that Denver had an even more impressive crash and burn, from leading the (easy, noncompetitive) division by a large margin to losing the division and missing the playoffs entirely...LED BY CUTLER. Yes, Denver also had line problems which probably led to the RB problems...plus a horrible defense, but hey, if we're going to blame Campbell for us missing the playoffs, we better also blame Cutler.




I believe Denver and Philly should swap QBs. Solving two problems at once. Both have big contracts, so financially it should work out evenly.

McNabb for Cutler

Luckily, there are 10-12 OTHER teams pursuing Cutler and I bet all of them have more draft picks than us...so I'm praying someone else throws Denver a better offer than us.

I am against trading for Cutler and I'm OK with JC at QB. Nevertheless, there is NFW JC will ever be a Pro-Bowler. Good, yes. Great, no.

We can win with Campbell whether he's voted to the Pro Bowl or not. We did with Doug Williams and Mark Rypien, neither were "franchise", big-name QBs, but we built a great team around them.

Sacrificing the years we've invested in Campbell and giving away future draft picks will not allow us to accomplish this again. Cutler's price and risk are both too high.

I agreed with you that we shouldn't make the trade and that JC should continue to be our QB, so I don't know what we're debating here. I simply said he'd be good but not great. Good is fine with me.
