Redskins trading out of the 4 spot?

If JC is at best a backup, he'd still be the best backup in the league. It would be a shame for us to lose the best backup QB in the league for only a 3rd round pick.

I don't think Kitna or Henry are worth a 3rd round pick. But I am not disputing the value of a good backup QB either. However, I don't see any way that JC can be the backup on the Redskins. If JC is not going to be the starter for Shanahan then all involved will need a fresh start. He will not want to be the backup here and we do not need the distraction of having a player that dosn't want to be here.

JC is going into this season as the starter and I'm sure in Shanny's eyes it would be his job to lose (even if we draft Bradford). If by halfway into the season, JC is the same guy as previous years, then Shanahan would pull him and insert the rook QB. If Campbell does well, then the rook QB sits.

I don't understand why people are so afraid of there being a "distraction" with Campbell here. All the drama last year was caused by Snyder and Cerrato, and their incompetence in trying to build a team by putting a "better" QB behind the POS line we had. Things are different now with Allen and Shanny in charge, and Campbell knows this would be his last shot at either staying on the team, or audition for the rest of the league.

I am fine with JC going into the season as the starter if that's what Shanni wants...I am also fine with taking the 3rd round pick for him now if that's what they want to do. I don't think JC is a distraction at all if he comes back and is the starting QB to start out the year. I think it's only a potential distraction if they attempt to bring him back as purely the backup. If he is the starter and loses the job through performance then i don't see him as the type of guy to cause any problems in that scenario.

and this is my dilema. Tender him and tell him the spot is open to the best QB. Hopefully JC steps up and shines and we are all supprised and the team gives him a contract next year. If he can't beat out the Rookie or is relegated to back up he definitly won't be happy or want to stay after next year which means he leaves but it buys us a year with a decent Vet in JC and time to find someone else to fill his shoes when he leaves.

If we don't pick up a QB then the team is still not happy with his performance and then all we have is Brennan and some mid to late round draft pick from this year and pray a decent one falls to us next year when we are farther down the draft in round 1 or pick up a QB in FA. I'd rather have someone learning this year if he's not better and ready to take over next year if JC is not in the plans. If JC is then we have two awsome QB's.
