I cannot believe that Campbell didn't have his agent in that meeting! He must be out of his mind to go into that ridiculous meeting unrepresented. They tried to dump him, didn't they? They dropped the gauntlet. Campbell and his agent should have told management that it's on now.

As far as his agent is concerned, not being there borders on malpractice. Management could have promised Campbell any damn thing in that meeting and it means nothing! Campbell's agent should have gone into that meeting with a list of demands and any promises made by management should have been put on paper in the form of a legal agreement.

JC has them over a barrel, for goodness sake! Can't his stupid agent see that? Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Yeah just what we need is our own Cutler situation.

Thankfully JC is more mature than that. He realizes it's business.

Mature, my foot! Maturity is knowing that you need to provide for your own future. Maturity is knowing that you need to look out for your own interests.

It's business, alright. That's why JC needed representation in that meeting. If for no other reason, so that his agent could get a feel for what the Skins management's plans for JC are now that they failed to get Cutler.

I'm not looking at this purely as a fan. I'm also a human being who doesn't like the idea that another human being might be played for a fool just because he is decent.

Snyder created this situation. I were JC's agent I'd make Snyder pay to get out of it because that would be in my client's best interests.

I had my say. I'm going to drop it now. Everyone else can go back to pretending that everything is going to be fine between JC and the Skins now that the Cutler trade didn't go down.

Once again, thankfully JC is handling this much better than Cutler did, and you as well it seems.

I agree Campbell has handled himself well, but in fairness he does not have the same options that Cutler had. Campbell's only realistic chance to start next season is right here...if he were to pull a cutler type power play he would likely end up on someone else's bench. And that's not a good place to be in a contract year. Campbell didn't just make the classy move...he made his only move.

I don't think he'd be on the bench for long. IMO JC could walk in right now and start for SF, Jets, Buffalo, TB, Miami, Clev, Houston, Det and Minn.

Whoa whoa. Houston? Schuab is one of the better QB's in the league right now. Check up on his numbers for yourself. Pennington had the second highest QB rating last year and the only reason they're having a competition is because Pennington is getting up there in years . Cleveland? Maybe but not a walk in and start type deal. The others I agree, but I think you're overselling Campbell at this point.

Right now his greatest value by far is Year 2 in Zorns system.

Even if JC went to one of the teams on your list he would have to battle a guy who knows the offense better then he does and win the starting job. Otherwise he risks being on the bench in his contract year...that's way to big a risk to take. He needed to keep a cool head here...and to his credit he was able to do it.

Snyder isn't going to pay JC anything more until JC shows he is worth it!!!!!

Luckily Campbell is a lot more mature than Cutler. He knows if he plays well this year, he's going to get paid. Thats how it works. He didn't play well enough last year to warrant an early extension and I'm sure he knows that.
