Why I like Jason Campbell

Yep, from reading the blogs he's apparently been the best at every drill I've seen mentioned.

It think we'll see JC better than we've ever seen him this year. Leading by example is important but sometimes it takes a little more. Campbell needs to let it be known that this is his team and if you ever expect to get the ball you'd better be prepared to play. He seems to be taking more control in the huddle, as he should. I expect him to be more outwardly fired up this year and that can only be good for the team.

Number 1 I am a huge skins fan .... as the team progresses, I just hope the front office will "build" the team .... I emphasize "team" .... most of the great franchises that have great and extended successful runs in the NFL are organizations that are based on "team" not glorified individuals .... I think Jason Campbell and many others on the Redskins "team" are just that, interested in and committed to the "team" above "self" .... I hope that the pieces, coaching and the "team" coming together will happen sooner than later for all of us impatient Redskin Fans .... the quality of players both on and off the field in our organization is rising and we are close, so very close ... I hope that this season will be a turning point ....
Go Skins ....

It's the Phillip Rivers effect without a Phillip Rivers guy actually in house.

Campbell has improved every year that he has played. Imagine how good he could have been by now had we let him stay in the same offense for more than a year and a half. Campbell is the hardest working guy on the team, and I'm very optimistic that this will be the year that he becomes a top 10 QB, assuming reasonable contributions from one or more of Kelly, Thomas, and Davis.

I share your optimism my friend.

Agreed. Light it up, Jason, light it up.

That's a good thing. I hear Philip Rivers isn't house trained.

Phillip Rivers is twice the Warrior that Jason Campbell is.

No NFL QB deserves big success more than JC...that's just my opinion but i really mean it. Was thinking of starting my own JC thread last week to ask this question but I'll just do it here:

how many games does Jason have to win, in which he clearly takes the offense into his hands and wills his way to victory, in order to secure confidence in Danny/Vinny?

I think he's got to have a couple of those games, but they must be in November and/or December. Thinking back to last year what i saw, again just my opinion here, was Jason takeover games early in the season. Specifically he led us to come-behind victories against NO and Dallas (1st game) that we're awesomely impressive (ya'll might remember comments of pro-bowl season and the like). He also rocked the Lions in a closer than hoped game. But my point is these came early in the season and were long forgotten by end of season, w/ the line in collapse and opposing defenses shutting down our air attack. I think for Danny and the FO to have full faith in JC he'll have to be the man late in the season when things heat up. Admittedly i'm a JC apologist...i really, really have the utmost respect for the kid, but trying to be objective i don't see any reason why he can't be great all season. Zorn is helping the situation in all the looks at WR, now we need to get a very nice surprise on the right side of the o-line (current player or otherwise) to give Jason the chance he deserves.

I do not think the question is, "how many wins?," but rather, "when?" You hint at this in your own remarks. I think JC needs to win in January (not even Nov. or Dec.) to keep The Danny placated. The rest of the FO may be placated by November or December wins. Just my two cents.

You do know they have random drug testing right?
