The Myth of "It's all [insert QB's name here] Fault!"

That is going to look good on Campbell's stats as a completed pass and positive yards, but the result is failure for the team and winning.

I don't think it's misleading at all, because our scoring offense is still abysmal (which I pointed out).

Oh, I agree. The point I was making was that we historically haven't and should not NEED a franchise QB to win games playing "Redskin football".

It's funny, so many people were sick to death of "Old Man Joe" and "conservative playcalling" and "oh god, he's not going to try to run it up the gut again, is he??" but that's exactly what we are missing right now.
