I'm no record as not being a firm beleiver in Campbell, but i dont think we have anything on our roster that would be an upgrade over Campbell to make switching after 6 games worthwhile. After 12 games, yeah, i might put Brennan in to see what he's got, but 6 games is FAR shorter of a leash than i think Campbell should get. I mean, if he's single-handedly losing games for us, then yeah, we've got to yank him. But Campbell isnt the type of QB who's going to singlehandedly lose games.

I know Samuels is not the HC, but he's probably the only player who could say something like this and it would actually carry some weight. I mean, Samuels isnt the kind of guy to just run his mouth like CP.

So how many games does the offensive line has to prove themselves as well?

Ahhhh, great news...been wondering about Randy. Stay healthy buddy!!!

I don't get why Samuels would say this on the first day of camp...we haven't heard anything specific from the FO, Zorn etc and then, boom, JC has 6 games to prove himself? And what if the o-line falls apart in 4 games instead of 8 this year? Does that fall on JC's shoulders too? I'm sick of the "QB controversy" Snyder/Cerrato have created this off-season...I just want JC to have all the support he deserves.

Well, Zorn and his teammates are clearly behind him, and those are the guys he's with on a daily basis. They believe in him, and when he performs this season, so will Snyderatto.

No that's the only place I've seen that, but a deal should be close since DHB just signed w/ OAK.

its been posted here and on extremeskins that people have received tweets, but i havent seen anything online yet. Sure would be nice to have him in camp. Considering he's learning a new position because we are horribly mis-using him, he needs all the time at camp he can get.

Hopefully he has been signed. Let the kid show up at training camp and see what he does at the new position.

I was at this morning's practice. Run of the mill. Three things worth mentioning. Devin Thomas looked sharp, Samuels looks skinnier, and Peter King was present taking some notes but mostly talking to a fat man in a suit (who was either a Sidney Greenstreet impersonator or JFK's beat reporter) and Mike Wise. Also Lindsay Czarniak wore blue. So four things.

For the past two years since I moved out of MoCo I've only gotten Baltimore stations; God I miss Czarniak!

You sure it wasn't Ross Tucker King was with?

If you look a the schedule in the first 6 weeks the only team that really scares me is the Giants - all the other games are very winnable - so if Campbell looks shaky agianst those teams I don't want to think how he will fare when we get into the tough part of the schedule - especially with the rest of the NFC East games.

Yeah that's probably the thinking around the team, if JC doesn't shine in the easier part of the schedule forget about it, we'll have a full blown QB controversy at work. Especially if Colt has another strong preseason. It won't matter if he's #2 or #3, people will start calling for him.

That said I don't think we have anything to worry about.
