But alot of them were old or injury prone. We make splashes in free agency. But rarely get someone who can help us for the long run. CP trade was definitely a good move. Moss good move. Todd Collins good move to compliment Saunders system. The rest are iffy. I do agree he is is getting better. Definitely. Drafting and signing free agents. But it took him a long time to concentrate on the D-line.

Not an apologist. I think though that too many people think Dan Snyder and instantly they think Deion Sander and overpriced, past their prime players. And clearly his regime as owner should not be focused only on that move.

True. I agree. Like I said I rather have an owner who isn't afraid to spend his money and learn from his mistakes than a owner that sits back and does nothing. He was young and has grown and him and Cerrrato have matured a lot as far as personnel decisons go. I've always personally liked Dan (because I know he would do anything to make us winners). Just not all of his decisions he's made in "the past".

I have to wonder why Samuels just came out and said this. Usually guys are like this is our QB and we are going to ride him to the wheels fall off,pass or fail. not i think we give him X amount of games and if he is struggling we move on.

[dan_snyder69]

yea buchanon that's what I was thinking also

[DBUCHANON101]

We are Still learning the WCO i dont want to see us go all wildcat just to get one guy on the field.

I believe JC did everything he needed to do for us to be successful last year.Could he have done more???Maybe.Even with holes in the o line,he still got the ball to recievers,who would drop the ball at the most inopportune time in just about every game.

Excuse time is over for JC and he did not do everything he needed to do last years for us to be successful.

Chris Samuels needs to focus on doing his job better. The reason Jason Campbell is on a short leash, is because he spent too much time getting sacked. If Samuels and his fellow offensive linemen, took it upon themselves to do something about that, the quarterback controversy would cease. Most quarterbacks, given ample pass protection, get the job done. Campbell is not exception. When he has time and the receivers get separation, he delivers. Everyone on this offense needs to do a better job, coaches included.

Sorry but JC causes a bunch of those sacks by holding onto the ball and he often follows one WR and misses the guy wide open.

I don't know many quarterbacks that can have a 62.3% completion percentage, and often miss wide open receivers in the same season. I could throw out an equally ridiculous statement and say that Redskins receivers often drop balls that are thrown directly to them.

As far as Samuels' comment; it's not overly shocking to believe that he'd be yanked in the middle of the season if the team is performing poorly. The main problem with that is, if Collins is named the #2, it's basically a give up move.

I think his % is up because he throws so many dump off passes that gain just a few yards.

I do not think you have been watching the same games I've watched. Campbell was very efficient and productive in the first half of the season. He had a very good run game and the play calling caught other teams off guard. In the second half of the season, a few things happened. The scheduled got tougher and the Skins faced division opponents the second time around and the plays that worked the first time around were ineffective. The running game stalled and put more pressure was put on the passing game. Campbell had only two reliable targets, Moss and Cooley. Defenses like the Cowboys, Eagles, Giants and Steelers exploited the lack of weapons and the pass protection broke down. To come down completely on Campbell is unfair. He can make improvements, but the entire offense and scheme needs to improve. Bringing in a scrub like Cutler, Sanchez or even Vick is not going to fix the problem.

I think you're just guessing at that.

It's not true, at least in the sense that you mean. Campbell completed way fewer passes down the field in the second half of the year, but he actually didn't try less. He was just less successful.

Also, his completion percentage did drop by 2.5% over the second eight games, suggesting that the lack of success enjoyed on those deep passes was the reason for the decline.

Anyone who saw the last two games realizes that JC developed a (perhaps unhealthy) gunslinger tendency. Yeah, we were already out of it at that point, and the results produced only a middling passing game, but it's a step in the right direction.
