Gibbs' take on Campbell's situation

Make more big plays in the passing game and get your team in the end zone and all the stats will take care of itself. Until he does that then he'll never get a big contract. It's put up or shut up for Jason Campbell.

To get the ball down field, JC needs his line to give him time and WR to run the correct routes. Its a team game if their is a break down any where during the play it may not work. Its a team game and everyone has to do their part.

Gibbs is 100% correct. Put the team on your back and drive the offense down the field and win the game. Gibbs tried to get John Elway. It's just part of the business. You have to have some thick ass skin to play QB in the NFL.

That's not exactly the way Gibbs did things in his second stint. Nine time out of ten, he left it up to the defense to win it.

You're 100% correct.

Not sure what football world you're living in Angry, but I can guarantee you if JC has that kind of year and takes the Skins to the playoffs, he will definitely draw interest from a few teams, and Danny will need to show him the $$ to keep him here.

I guess that you may be right (Matt Cassell), but most organizations want to see more than 1 year of production.

No. I think a QB hungry organization will pay big money based on one year's production:

Scott Mitchell
Rob Johnson
Matt Schaub

IMO - A QB that puts together the numbers Matty cites would be a top draw for teams like Cleveland, the Rams, Minnesota, NY Jets - or any number of teams dissatisfied w/ their current QB's.

If he has a good year he won't be seen as a one year wonder. He's shown improvement year to year and shown flashes of what he can do.

Fair enough. I will take a wait and see approach. Right now this is nothing more than speculation anyway.

Yeah we've had an entire offseason of speculation. I'm ready for some real action to talk about already.

Truth is, with our schedule, we could (and should) go 6-2 at the bye, only to have a much tougher 2nd half of the season, similar to last year. So no matter what positives happen during the first half, we will be hard pressed to get real proof positives until late November rolls around.

Still can't wait ... even for preseason!
