Zorn Shines The Light On QB Situation

No question JC is the man. TC was good for a little but he isnt good or young enough to be a realistic nfl starter.

This is it for JC in my opinion. He needs to come through period. There will be no excuse either if he gets hurt again. If that does occur then he is not very durable, hence not starter calibre, well starter calibre to build a franchise around anyway. Put up or shut up is my sentiments toward JC in '08. I am not so sure he would have gotten us to the playoffs this past season.

I disagree with you can't keep changing a QB's surroundings like that & he hasn't even had more than a years time under his belt. It's not like he is Rex Grossman you know.

IAWTP! Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Bret Favre all had the benefit of playing in the same offensive system their entire carreers. If they had to learn a new one every offseason do you think they would still be as good?

Maybe Campbell is a franchise Quarterback and maybe he is not. Until he has time to play in the same offense for a fair amount of time there is no accurate way to judge if he is capable of playing in the NFL.

JC should be the unquestioned starter, but as for Tod Collins run last year, I think it was more to do with better play by the offense as a whole unit and his better understanding of the Al Saunders offense.

JC the man all the way, now he needs a tall, fast and shore handed receiver 2 go with Cooley, Moss and EL

You are absolutely right. If he is going to be the player we all hope he can be it is going to happen this year.

Or next year...when most QBs hit their peak.

How so? He's got roughly the equivalent time of 1 full season as a starting QB and is going to be implementing a new offense. So if he struggles at all you want to show him the door despite most NFL people saying he's likely our franchise QB for the next 10 years?

After George, Banks, Matthews, Wuerffel, Ramsey & Brunell, Jason is a breath of fresh air and more talented than all of them combined. I know it's not much to compare to, but for the first time in a long time I am genuinely excited about the Redskins QB situation.

While I think Zorn is going to do wonders for Campbell and turn him into a Pro Bowl QB, I'm not sure it's going to be overnight.

I like what Zorn is doing. Already he is building JC up. JC will probably spend more time with Zorn than his wife. I look for a much improved JC.

TheSmurfs22 · 02-23-2008, 08:34 AM

I am glad that JC is going to be our starter next year. He should be. I am excited to see what Zorn can do with JC.

I still think the transition to a West Coast Offense won't be as tough for Jason Campbell as some of you guys think. He played in a West Coast Offense at Auburn under Al Borges and Tommy Tuberville when he won the National Championship in 2004.

I'm sure the terminology will be a little different but he and Zorn are both smart enough to compare notes and figure out a system they can communicate under. He'll be fine as long as he can limit his mistakes.

GTripp0012 · 02-23-2008, 11:09 AM

Campbell is about a year away from the prime of his career. This is the time he needs to be on the field getting his trial by fire, not watching someone else.

diehardskin2982 · 02-23-2008, 11:24 AM

I don't understand why are we trying to keep Collins, he is a system QB. I would rather get a cheap vet versed in the west coast offense let go of costly collins and Brunnel and then draft a 3rd qb.
