Great analysis there, you forgot to compare JC to Brady and Payton Manning (if you are looking for an easy argument I guess) . Anyway, Warner is an old QB and did pretty good throughout the season. It helped that AZ only allowed 28 sacks (tied 11th for the least sacks allowed) and he had two Pro Bowl wideouts (and arguably the best WR in Fitzgerald). Now, if you had thought about it a bit more (but I guess since you don't like stats), you could've made the argument that Warner won without having a running game (ranked at the bottom in the league) and with a crappy defense. However, I'm sure someone would have easily point out that the NFC West wasn't that competitive, allowing AZ to win the division with just one more win that our team, and the fact that AZ's defense came alive and finally complimented the offense during the playoffs.
Sacks and pass protection aren't always directly related. Warner is known for punishing the blitz with quick and accurate strikes, so teams think twice about being overly aggressive with him. JC, on the other hand, hasn't shown the ability to consistently keep defenses honest with his quick decision making, so teams come after him with everything they have, which can skew the sack numbers and make the O-line look bad.

Yes, the O-line could have played better, the receivers don't scare anyone and the offensive coaching could just be lousy for all that we know. But if the QB hangs onto the ball too long and needs receivers to be wide open before he's willing to get rid of the ball, then he's part of the reason he keeps getting knocked on his ass. JC doesn't deserve all of the blame, but he's not entirely blameless either.

I'm not saying that you are one, but if all JC-haters would mention this every once in a while, it would have saved me from doing a lot of typing tonite.

Good analysis.

You are correct. Then question is, can he? If Colt can't, there is no reason to release Collins just yet.

No, we are arguing with your delusional self who keeps bringing up this video like it is the NFL bible.

An argument with facts that points out both negative and positive aspects of a player, yep that's what a reasonable argument looks like.

Dude, once again this is a simple point...in that video Wilcots demonstrates an OPINION, not PROOF.

I heart this thread.

There has been a lot of criticism that the skins receivers can't get open, but open is a relative term in the NFL. A few times every game, you'll see receivers who are blanketed, sometimes by 2 defenders, make spectacular catches. I recall one bomb Flacco threw to Clayton in the playoffs, I believe against Tennessee, where the 2 defenders ran into each other and fell down right as the ball got there. Clayton caught it and walked in for the score. I remember saying to myself, Campbell would have never thrown that ball".
I know you weren't aware of this, but multiple places that chart plays around the internet have commented that Flacco and the Ravens led the league, by far, in max protect schemes. 2 receivers per route. Basically, Flacco would be worthless if he can't complete passes into coverage because there are at least 5 guys out there to cover those 2 players. Flacco is not useless, but this is also not a particularly productive offense, and it's got little upside in the near-term future.

Basically, the offense is set up for Flacco to throw that pass. Maybe we should have hired Cam Cameron to be our head coach instead. Then we'd throw downfield more often.

Yes, the pass protection was poor at times, but it wasn't as if he never, ever got time to pass. And if the Skins were smart, they would use all of their running backs like the Ravens, Giants, Falcons, Titans, Dolphins and seemingly every other team in the NFL does these days with a few exceptions. It's nice that Portis was 4th in the NFL in yardage, but some of that has to do with the fact that there are only 10 or so feature backs left.
Campbell makes those completions too. This is a fact. If we're talking with the frequency we go down field...well, that's a different argument. Sounds like your beef with the quarterback is misplaced. Sounds like you think you could call an offense better than Jim Zorn. Maybe that's true, I don't think you're going to get the oppertunity though.

As for using the running backs, I agree with you, but give it another season. We had about 6 "lost" games from an offensive ingenuity perspective, which limits our ability to judge Zorn's ability to be creative and make the best calls.

I don't think too many JC "haters" would argue that he's pretty good when everything else around him is perfect, but perfect conditions are the exception, not the rule in the NFL. I think some of us would like to see him display the ability to make things happen when conditions are less than ideal. Hopefully, he will do so this year.
No one considers Trent Dilfer a good QB, but no one really doubts that Campbell is better than Dilfer. I mean, Campbell could flame out this year and get benched...and he'd still be ahead of Dilfer at said point in his career.

Expecting a perfect offensive environment would be as much of a fallacy as trying to cruify his performance under the relative circumstances of the last 5 games of last season. Let's make a pact to do neither. Campbell's not getting a perfect offensive environment with the Washington Redskins. But if he can't get something better than the end of last season, then it's pretty irrelivant who is behind the center, we're not going to score points.

Jason Campbell is so good he can do things others can only dream of. The video proves it



But in all seriousness. JoeRedskin what time is it?
