JC is not what I thought part two

I realize you probably know my sig is dripping with sarcasm, but let me just confirm as much. I do not believe we should yank JC.

The jury is still out on Campbell but he has shown enough progression this season to give him a break for now.

Huh? He really only had what 3-4 games where we can say he played like a pro-bowler. The other wins came on the back of Clinton Portis. Blame the O-line or play calling...I'm just calling a spade a spade.

Jason played at an outstanding level in four games, poorly in four games and okay in two games. That, to me, is reason enough to give him more time to prove himself. To those who think otherwise, please consider the following:

(1) Jason is a FAR superior QB than his predecessors. In the past decade or so I have suffered through Heath Shuler Gus Frerotte, Jeff George, Tony Banks, Shane Matthews, Patrick Ramsey, Danny Wuerfel, Tim Hasselbeck and a few others. Jason is, by far, the best of the bunch. The thought of going through another decade or so searching for a better option at quarterback makes me sick to my stomach.

(2) Quality free agent QBs don't grow on trees. In the past few years, how many teams have found a quality, young quarterback in free agency? Not many. New Orleans is the only team I can think of, and they took a MAJOR gamble in signing Brees. He signed a monster contract after coming off of an injury that threatened his career. How many great QBs are hitting the free agent market this offseason? None. Matt Cassel will likely hit free agency, but if JC doesn't please you, neither will Matt Cassel.

(3) Colt is NOT ready. Yes, we all know Colt Brennan has that "it" boy quality. But, that "it" factor doesn't mean squat. One day he might be a fine QB, but he's not there yet. He looked great in 2 games and struggled mightily in 2 others against 3rd stringers (many of whom have never played a single down in a regular season NFL game). If he struggled to move the ball and put up decent stats against guys who couldn't make other teams' practice squads, what in the world makes you think he'll excel against starting NFL defensive units? Yes, I am aware of the whole "he was drafted in the 6th round like Tom Brady" argument. However, not only is that argument unpersuasive, it's grade A tarded. So please spare me that garbage.

The point isn't that Jason is the best quarterback. The point is Jason is the best option we have right now, and he'll likely be the best option we have next season as well.

Stop with all the common sense, logic and level headed thinking! Don't you realize that Campbell has the ability to make his receivers catch balls that hit them right in the hands or numbers? Don't you realize that Campbell should be running this offense like Brady, Manning, etc? Why can't Campbell make Thomas and Kelly learn a new offense (while he is learning it) run perfect routes and catch every ball thrown their way? Wow man, you just don't get it do you?

here is a crazy idea. how about let him be in the same system for more than one year?

Crazy talk.

Bring in the next guy, if he doesn't turn out to be the next Brady or Manning by halfway through next season, toss him on the scrap heap too.

When do I get my tryout for QB of the Redskins?

More importantly, when am I going to be called out for lacking heart?!

When you lose, you don't have any heart.

When you win, you've got mad heart.

In somewhat related news, I'd like to see Brennan move up to No. 2 on the depth chart...next season.

Jason Campbell does many things well and he is gaining experience. Hopefully coach Zorn will figure out how to maximize his talents to the fullest. JC works hard and he is talented so why not give him maximum support until he hits a clear and definite plateau. I just hope we don't sign him long term until the end of next season. That seems to be the window of time that makes the most sense with regards to assesing his progression as a player.

Great defenses are exposing this team right now, but I'm not sure what that even means? I kind of feel like the coaches aren't exactly sure either.
