Does that make sense to you now?

Makes perfect sense to me. I agree, Coach Campbell isn't leading the team very well.

Yeah, I don't know why I waste my time in responding.

People on here are so ignorant and close-minded sometimes.

You're clearly way too smart for this board.

You know, I've said that to myself about a dozen times this season, and even asked Matty to nuke my account (he didn't, don't know why). Just go away for 6 months and come back when we make the next big splashy move. Absence makes the heart grow blonder.

I've heard that request plenty of times only to see that person come back a while later.

Do you not possess the self-control that it takes to stop visiting and posting? lol

Apparently not. Honestly, it's easier getting the news from WP than the (other) W(ash)P(ost). Self control -- on an Internet forum -- frequented by human beings? You are a real kidder, you know that?

Then don't, save yourself some trouble...or come up with a better argument.

On a more serious note:

I'd wager that almost all of us are ignorant about what it takes to lead an NFL franchise on the field as a quarterback, yourself included.

Many of us are not ignorant about what it means to be a leader of others, for as much as that analogy holds up compared to a football team.

Like many others who have not responded favorably to that last statement you made, I think your logic is faulty in this case. Jason Campbell may not be a Brett Favre kind of team leader (in fact he is not -- yet, and may never be).

But even Brett Favre is not responsible for making sure that the Minnesota Vikings are prepared to come out and execute as a football team on Sundays. The kind of leadership he exhibits is one of character, toughness, dedication, setting an example for the team to follow, and stopping the BS when it interferes with his ability to do any of the above.

I think Jason's done most of that this season. What he hasn't done was won games singlehandedly. Fault him for that if you will, but blaming him for the team's lack of readiness is way off base.
