Cambell blasts redskins, says he was "scapegoat"

What I thought he did do, in a very indirect way, was come off as very, very critical of Dan Snyder and the way Snyder personally treated him. But I don't think he said anything about the Redskins outside of 1) things didn't go well, and 2) the team subsequently got rid of him.

In any event I like JC, but he's not in the situation like the CB we traded to the Colts who spoke with the media and said the Skins had issue's. JC got traded from one 3 ring circus to another 3 ring circus if not a worse 3 ring circus. There is no wiggle room here. He can complain all he wants but in the end he's still dealing with the same type of BS with Al Davis.

Nor do they know how to put together a competent O-line with quality depth, which has hindered the success of Campbell and other QBs here, especially after injuries to Samuels, Jansen, and Randy Thomas became recurring events. Drafting Trent Williams was a positive first step, but the jury's still out on the Jamaal Brown acquisition, and hopefully Shanahan addresses the interior of the O-line this offseason.

Difference is Al Davis wants him there.

Yep. Davis always liked big arm QBs that can get the ball downfield. Campbell is definitely in a better situation there if he can hold onto the starting job. Oakland has a lot of talent, and actually went 6-0 in their division (yet missed the playoffs!!!)

LOL, All our QB's are scapegoats. He should keep his mouth shut at this point.

JC never got a fair chance IMO, He had a good year and still got traded

Actually, I'd have to give that to Rex, the king of sack-fumbles.

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

Poor little Jason!!.....He sounds like the bridegroom jilted at the alter. Worse things have happened to better QB's.

[SirClintonPortis]

Notes to Campbell:

CP sucked ass. Why? He had absolutely no motivation to play for Zorn. Does the QB get all the credit and blame, yeah. But every QB gets that sort of treatment. It may be a tall order, but you JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.

Snyder's a douchebag. He always was. Is it tough? Yeah. But at the same time, you aren't blameless. Giving effort is nice, but you didn't have much in terms of certain skills.

That said, it IS rather embarassing that the players for the 2010 Raiders were more hungry than those whoever were half-assing it on that 2009 Redskins team. All that FA pursuing, coughing up picks, etc and we fielded a team less hungry than the 2010 Raiders. Pathetic job by Vinny.
