Campbell A Raider

[MTK]

I would be pretty surprised if he got cut. JaMarshmallow? Gradkowski? The starting job should be JC's for the taking.

I'd be a little surprised but if he got cut, but I would be just as surprised if he gets the starting job. I think its Gradkowski's for the taking right now. C. Frye is also on their roster.

Who knows what Al Davis is thinking w/Jamarcus? Most teams would cut him, but Al Davis might try to hold on & hope he comes around.

Not sure what people see in Gradkowski, if JC is an average starter, Gradkowski is definitely below average, in fact he really hasn't proven he's a true starter yet. He's got a career QB rating of 65.9, his numbers are very underwhelming to say the least.

Plus he's having surgery for a torn pectoral, he should be back from training camp but still, it's a setback.

Maybe Gradkowski looks good because he comes in for Russell.

I hoped JC17 would produce, but he didn't. Best of luck to the man in Oakland.

No QB would have done well with all the missteps the FO and DS had. The O line was a scrap heap of duct tape and bailing wire. Dan Marino would have had a tough time behind our O line of the last few years.

I don't excuse Campbell's play only based on the protection (or lack there of).
He was fairly classy overall, but his lack of personal accountability left me scratching my dome. Overall I'd say he was an average QB. Not a star, or even a contender. At least we have a stud now(even if he is on his last legs).

MS and BA will lead this team. For the first time since the Squire died I feel we have a legit team. If DS can keep his hands off we can and will be a contender again. Winning is EVERYTHING.

HTTR!

Personally, I'd be willing to give just about everyone a second chance because of this. The team was badly managed by the previous FO and coaching staff. Which is why I'm ok with not doing a complete house clean up.

Campbell has a career 82.3 passer rating, which ranks him 21st amongst active QBs, ahead of Eli Manning, Matt Cassel and Kyle Orton. He had a passer rating of 86.4 during a tumultuous 2009 season, which was 15th in the NFL. I think that's about where he is as a quarterback, dead center average.

Yeah i agree. I think most of the NFL world was expecting Campbell to be released prior to training camp, or shortly after the draft.

[SBXVII]

.... Adios.

A 4th in 2012 ought to help people who scream this FO is just trying to win now. I think it demonstrates a willingness to build picks in the future rather than just accept a lesser pick this year.

Anyone know what we get if there is no draft in 2012? It doesn't necssarily have to be part of a new cba.

[freddyg12]

Good points about Gradkowski, I didn't realize he was coming off surgery. I always thought it was good though in a poor mans Jeff Garcia manner. Not a great qb & doesn't make all the throws & reads well, but makes plays on the run & plays w/some fire. Will do the little things & make plays in unconventional ways.

[CRedskinsRule]

I imagine we don't get anything, but there is no way that a draft will not be part of the new cba. That would be incomprehensible to me.

I agree. I think one of the reasons we went for a 2012 pick was because we'll definitely have a new CBA by then. I'm holding out hope we don't have to give the Eagles that 3rd/4th for McNabb next year.

How would that happen? While the 2011 season is in jeopardy, the 2011 draft is almost a certainty.
