Campbell's numbers dont lie

[JGisLordOfTheRings]

And we would also be 3-0 because they all would have stepped out of bounds 3 yards before a first down with 40 yards of open field ahead of them.....

People still dont realize that this is only campbell's 4th year in the league. Three different offenses Zorn, Saunders, Gibbs. The most successful Qbs have been in the same offense their whole career. Fans here need to stop acting like Synder and have patience with a good QB.

JC has improved this year vs last. That's good. We're 1-2 though. Realistically to be successful JC needs a complete team around him. Brees, TB, PM, Rivers...they can hide some team defiencies just by putting points on the board.

Time will tell. JC is pretty accurate for the most part. He has trouble w/ the fade route and sometimes the long throws. His "football" awareness is much better than a couple years ago. Without a significant run game I'm afraid it's going to be a rough year in terms of W's and L's. JC has got to step up and put the ball in the endzone.

Oh yeah, w/ 15 seconds left, needing a touchdown, on the wrong side of the 50 yardline, no timeouts...you can't throw down the middle of the field, JC. You've been around too long, you should know this. Good thing it was overthrown or time would have expired. We lost anyway, but come on. You throw to the edges or deep.

JC was just running the play that was called, blame the horrible hook and ladder call on Zorn.

I think he was referring to the play before that one.

Yeah, i was. The game would have been over if it was caught. There was no hook and ladder on that one. Just a dumb play.

Bottomline to everything is - this team is Campbell's team (coming from his own words). Who do you hold accountable for the redskins performances given that Campbell has said he was taking responsibility for the redskins?

Let me know if I was reading into it more than I necessarily need to. When someone says something as strongly as this - to take responsibility for something as big as this, then I sit up and take notice - and I hold him to it.

The redskins are his team, but he is not held accountable. I just don't get it.

The only people who do actually get held accountable (i.e. are in danger of losing their job NOW) are those who have decent backups behind them (Horton/Doughty). Campbell is by far the best QB on the team right now. His play has done nothing to merit benching him, even if we had a viable backup behind him. The end of the season, thats another matter. If his play doesn't improve, he'll be held accountable then, when he's sent packing. At this point, it sure seems likely that we're headed for an uncapped year, and i would not be shocked at all to see A LOT of "untouchables" sent packing with him.

I still don't understand why you keep bringing up Cutler and Sanchez. We were closer to getting Cutler than Sanchez, but it's pretty obvious we would have been worse off for it, which is what we were all saying at the time.

No, Campbell can't get benched this season, and yes I'd probably trade him in to get rid of Blache as well at the end of the year. I feel like our team is fundamentally flawed, and the difference of opinion here is that some people feel that you have to replace the quarterback to get a better team, but it seems clear to me that when you have a team like the Redskins, it doesn't really matter who is at QB.

Campbell is keeping us in a lot of games, but I'm thinking that's only giving the illusion that we are closer than we actually are. Without him, we'd be getting blown out every week and then maybe it would be clear that the rest of the team is a major problem that can't be ignored.

Not really talking about benching him. And it goes beyond just X's and O's. I would have really liked him to step up and become the leader he said he was and just take some blame and responsibility for some things. God knows that's what the redskins need right now. Blache has started it. And Zorn to a lesser extent and to a reaction of what Blache has said. But now the players really need to man up - especially Campbell.

[warriorzpath]

... and I just read the Blache article for taking on blame. That's what Manning-up is - taking responsibility. That's what you call what a man is. Before reading this, I thought Blache was just cruising out this season and was planning to retire at the end of it, but now I know different. This guy has nothing but respect from me.

And to me this is what being a man is all about - not about how physically big you are.

^^ yeah I hear ya but just the fact we were in that position to begin with kinda tells the story

No. Wait 'til the bye week, then make a better decision.
