i am curious - why did you wait until 1987 to become a diehard skins fan?

So by your logic, we should wait until we upgrade the OL before we look to improve the QB postion, correct?

Yeah, apparently you have to prioritize order outside of the draft too!

Probably the only mistake Shanny has made so far: asking Jason Campbell to stay away from the Park and Practice. This SCREAMS "we don';t want you and have no intention of having you around"....which incidentally screams to other clubs..."well fellas, don't bother giving us a draft pick because we're gonna release him".

Now, a team like Buffalo only has to offer a 7th rounder or at best a 6th rounder in order to get the Skins to bite. I doubt that Campbell will be around much longer because Shanny does not want to give him a playbook, knowing that he will never make the club.

I would lump that in with alienating the best player on the team. But you are right, by signing Grossman and McNabb, they have lowered Jason's value significantly.

This is definitely a big mistake. Not sure if I agree with you on it being the only mistake. I haven't agreed with most of the offseason moves thus far. If the geriatric three headed rushing attack pans out and McNabbulous takes us to the postseason I'll be wrong, but I don't see it.

If he's still trying to trade Haynesworth make that 2

What it really says is we don't want you getting injured at a mini camp and really screwing up any trade possibilities.

The McNabb trade alone "screamed" that. JC's staying away doesn't matter with this.

Yeah I didn't bother replying to most of that because I didn't see it going anywhere.

After the Redskins' trade for Donovan McNabb, the kneejerk reaction was that Jason Campbell was not long for Washington, D.C. The Washington Post's Jason Reid reported later in the week that Campbell's agent had been given the green light to explore trade opportunities for Campbell, and on Monday, the QB signed his RFA tender, clearing a final hurdle to his being traded.

Possible destinations for Campbell
Oakland: Lost out on McNabb, other options aren't too encouraging
Buffalo: Campbell's not from California!
Minnesota: You know, in case Favre doesn't come back
Carolina: ESPN's NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas thinks Campbell is worth a shot for the Panthers, possibly with a mid-round pickJacksonville: David Garrard's not getting any younger, although Michael C. Wright tweets that the Jags aren't interestedBoth Oakland and Buffalo (which pick consecutively in the first round, appropriately enough) need a QB upgrade, but could also take a tackle with their first pick. And of course, there is the chance of a team biding its time and getting into the mix later (say, a Favre-less Minnesota Vikings, if they see Campbell as an upgrade over the Tarvaris Jackson-Sage Rosenfels duo).

ESPN.com's Matt Mosley thinks it'll take a fourth-rounder for Campbell, and throws the 49ers and Browns into the list of possibly interested teams. ESPN's John Clayton concurs with the price tag, noting that a mid-round pick could probably get it done. Assessing the different possibilities, Jeremy Green of Scouts, Inc. thinks that the Raiders' offensive philosophy is the best match for Campbell's game:



Jeremy Green
He's got the big arm Al Davis loves

"While it is hard to get excited about any player going to Oakland because of the nature of the Raiders organization, the down-the-field throwing style they ask from the QB in the offensive system does suit Campbell's skill set the best. Campbell is a pocket passer with a strong arm who throws a good deep ball, which is the No. 1 requirement in the Raiders' offensive system."

JC's screwed.

Studying is what he does best.

Honestly, I'd love to retain him as the backup but am expecting a draft-day trade. If the move directly helps us fix the O-line...I'm fine with it and as long as we don't pull a Philly and trade him in the division (we'd never...), I'll root for him.
