Do You Want Jason Campbell Back in 2010?

[NYCskinfan82]

YES give him a line and he will improve.

The Redskins need to draft a left tackle in the first round. I like Russell Okung, Oklahoma State and Bruce Campbell, Maryland.

He'll be there if the Rams don't take him. The concern I have with Clausen is his limited time as a successful college QB. Still, I wouldn't mind getting him at all. ND struggled because they had No D. They scored 30 points over 6 times this year I think and I'm not sure they won any of those games (don't quote me on that)

Clausen also has had experience playing behind a line that can't block anyone, but he didn't get successful until that line learned how to pick up a basic blitz.

With that said, I'm not sure what is to be gained by drafting Jimmy Clausen. Could we win with him? I think we could. Could we win because of him? Hasn't worked for anyone in the past.

It all depends on who the Rams like. They could take Suh but their taking a QB is more likely. So do they like Clausen better or Bradford better?

We can't answer that question for sure until draft day.

But it seems unlikely that Detroit or Tampa will take a QB. Therefore either Clausen or Bradford (and maybe both) will be available at #4.

Read the link to the blog. It explains in detail why Clausen has the tools to be a franchise caliber NFL QB, despite ND struggles this year. If Clausen (and Suh) is gone, I agree we should go LT.

I am hoping that Suh is still there at #4 because he is one player that teams would be willing to trade up for.

If Suh is still available, what we need to do is use the threat of drafting him to trade the spot for multiple, good picks.

They considered just calling them N after this year since the D never showed up.

Yes. Because an inexperience rookie QB behind a bad offensive line is a bad combination. The Redskins need to worry about the foundation of this team. Campbell has actually played pretty decent when he's had time to throw the ball.

You think he played well the first 4 or 5 games of the season when he was one of the least sacked QBs in the league? Against the Chefs? That said, I do like how he played down the stretch, but I'm tired of everyone blaming the line for EVERYTHING. There are other issues. He hasn't been all that consistent when the line has been in tact and playing well.

Yes, I agree. And campbell's been very inconsistent. I don't like the idea of having a quarterback who plays inconsistent and has trust & confidence issues.

You're going to have to jog my memory Deezel, I can't remember that.

From the hint Bruce Allen dropped, I wouldn't be one bit surprised to see JC on our roster next year (from Boswell's article):

"He's got a lot of starts (51) and seen a lot of looks, and he hasn't played his best football yet."

Since Campbell, playing behind an awful line, finished 15th in the NFL in passer rating, 14th in yards and 18th in touchdown passes, that's at least a semi-hug from the new GM. If Allen thinks Campbell's best football is ahead of him and he's already rated in front of half the starters in the NFL, how much better can you do?

That doesn't sound like a GM who is ready to dump his QB.

He was in the bottom third of the league in sacks AFTER week 5 AND played some of the worst Defenses in the league... maybe of all time. He was hardly running for his life against the likes of the Rams, Chiefs and Lions. He's not totally blameless and doesn't always need people making excuses for him. I'm in the keep him camp, but hold him as accountable as anyone for the crappy start of the season. That said, he showed a lot in the second half and should be brought back. IMO.

I'm indifferent for the most part. Shanahan will likely inflate his stats again due to a combination of coaching and how Shanahan runs the WCO, but I doubt his accuracy problems are realistically fixable.
