Holmgren on Campbell

Give a guy another year in a system that most QB take 3 years to master, he's had one-patience. Give the guys young receivers another year to mature and grow-patience. Give the guy and a new head coach time to adapt and learn each other-patience. As much as we kill Snyder for his impatience, Redskins fans are a bunch of mini-mes in that regard.

Because people don't even understand what the WCO is, much less understand it's uses.

I try to stay clear of debating the merits of one player in an offensive system vs. another because it necessarily requires an intricate knowledge of the offense than I do not have. The WCO isn't some gimmicky offense that QBs with big arms can't run, it's simply an offensive philosophy that varies between coaches that run it/say they run it.

I'm more concerned with results anyway.

Probably should...but probably won't.

Ok, let me get educated.....JC played lights out for 8 games. Of couse something changed the second 8 games. but you can't deny he did well, managed well (other then some of his blitz reads and 2 min. drill). In a perfect world JC will play like he did the first half of the yr and having a better knowledge of the offense might allow him to focus on his reading the defenses and learning how to adjust to them as well as working on his 2 min. drill. I think it was obvious Zorn could not work on everything his first yr. Heck he was having to teach the coach's the offense.

Demoting Zorn might be little awkward, and I would imagine Holmgren would want to run the offense.

Great article. Mighty nice of MH to compliment the Skins and encourage patience in the development of a great QB.

[TenandSix:Unacceptable]

The Redskins are so G-rated these days.

Let's hope it works.

Excellent article. Holmgren's insight should be appreciated by all who heard or read his remarks.

Word...kind of wish he'd have been at the park and made those remarks like 3 months ago lol. I think Holmgren is quietly noting how special Zorn is when it comes to developing QBs. Does anyone think Hesselbeck could be a pro-bowl qb w/o Zorn's mentoring? I don't for a second...and likewise Zorn will take JC to a higher level.

From your fingers to God's eyes. For the record, I agree with you. I expect JC to have a strong year this year with breakout seasons from Thomas and Davis.

I expect the same thing. I think we have a pretty good thing going right now and don't know it yet. To answer Goats question, no. W/o Zorn Hasselbach would not be the QB he is today IMO.

I hope for a strong year as well, but this is the same stuff i was hearing last year about a 'JC breakout year". understanding he's changed coaches and offenses several times, however, a QB runs the offense. and we must be better then 16.6 ppg. that is awful. another year like last year and he'll be another teams backup in 2010.
