From a financial standpoint, doesn't Campbell need to play this year?

[Big C]

play him in mop up situations only, unless he is better than brunell right now. play the better guy, dont base it on draft position or what we gave up to get him. rushing an unready QB is not good

[saden1]

While Brunell isn't spectacular he got the Job done last year. I'd rather keep him in the lineup then inserting a sophomore who hasn't played a down in the regular season. I mean, if Campbell could win now he would be in there. A playoff contender like the Redskins don't need QB shuffling.

p.s. You don't start a player just because you're paying him, you star him because he can play and play well for you.

Campbell will play in the preseason with the starting lineup and play cleanup. We will see how good he is. Brunell is the starter until old timers disease sets in. Joe would not have taken Jason in the first round unless he was worth it. We did not spend 2 first rounders on Jason. You do play talent over the contract ie Gus over Heath. Riggo was drunk. My wife is on the rag and I can count on not getting laid for one week, and there is only one thing that I do not know. What in the hell is the answer to question 3? Or better yet I don't even remember what question three was.

Paulskins, who says Campbell isn't competing? You compete in practice. You compete in those exams the coaches give the players before every game. You compete in preseason. This preseason will tell us a lot about where Campbell is. But name his a starter? Oh no, no, no! Would you have made Taylor Jacobs a starter last season because of his draft position?

Well put!

Good point, when Brown didnt go to NFL Europe, he stopped competing.

Salary means nothing to the Redskins.

Sorry, I had to resurrect this thread because I'm still dying for an answer to TAFKAS's and my question.

[EXoffender]

It was good hearing from Gibbs yesterday that Campbell is where we need him to be.

Sorry for the delay. Now I know this is what's known as circular reasoning, but here's how I see it. We used the No. 25th pick (or was it 22nd?) to select Jason Campbell. That's one first round selection used on selecting him AND we gave up a 2006 1st rounder as well. So by picking Jason Campbell in 2005 we ultimately used a 2005 and a 2006 first round pick. Now I know you will argue that had we not traded with Denver, then we would not have had a 2nd 1st round pick, and you're right. Ultimately, it only (only?) cost us a 1st, 3rd, and 4th. I would have taken Heath Miller with the pick, but that wasn't what the thread was about.

Ok, thank you. I agree, a 1st, 3rd and 4th was too much.......I just didn't understand where the 2 first rounders were coming from.
