I wish Jason Campbell peace and happiness.

It's true. The front office treated him like shit.

There were and still is, a lot more problems around here than him.

+1

People love to point to the QB, (we saw it again this year with DM) while ignoring the bigger issue, the team around the QB.

i think in a lot of way's he WAS the scapegoat ..what's wrong with an honest statement ... he may not be a HOF'er but he wasn't exactly in the best situations and turned out ok, he didn't turn into Patrick Ramsey

So what is his excuse for his play in Oakland? Oh and his reasoning for being benched there? was he the scape goat there also?

Maybe he just needs to go to a team that won't use him as a scape goat, like Buffalo. Clearly they would respect him and his talent enough not to use him as the reason for their horrid play.

But if he wants a championship ring or SB ring he might have to settle for the fact he's not as good as he thought and settle for being a back up in order to get it.

I think he got benched cause Cable simply prefers Gradkowski. He had a solid year.

Hue Jackson is the one that wanted Gradkowski starting.

I'm not sure about that. I remember the media and announcers saying Cable wanted BG to start. I could be wrong though...

It was billed as Cable wanting Gradkowski vs. Davis wanting Campbell, but really Cable had no dog in the hunt (or whatever the saying is). Hue Jackson is the one who suggested the move to Gradkowski

When is the QB not the scapegoat? It comes with the position.

I don't see anything wrong with his statements. He was the scapegoat. The team had a circus organization, decimated with injuries, had a poor receiving core, had no feature running back, and one of the worse offensive lines in the league, yet he was expected to take them to the playoffs. Unrealistic. I said it then and I'm saying it again, Campbell was not the problem. He needed a better supporting cast. Getting McNabb was a waste. Campbell would have done the same job and that third round draft pick could have been used on a position player that could help the team in the long run. Now the Skins have to rebuild at quarterback, all over again.

Exactly. And there was a 2nd rounder in there as well. Terrible awful trade.
