Some thought he would not play at all this season.
He has proven to be a good backup, surprisingly. He is not a solution at RT long term. He is not starters material. I would like to see them keep him around for depth.

Circumstances, some of which we are familiar, some of which we're not, has contributed to his shortcomings in the NFL. His weight problem is the one most highly recognized as well as publicized. However, when a player is selected what, # 4 overall in the draft (before his problems began) to suggest he's not starting material means the Bills had to be awfully confused. He may not now be the player he was drafted to be, and may not be our long-term slution, but with our situatin being what it is he's serviceable nontheless.

I agree Mike Williams is getting his 1st taste of action in almost 2 1/2 yrs. He worked his butt off to lose the weight and now he is getting into game shape. He maybe just the guy we need for next season after this season. if he can stay healthy and keep the weight down he for sure is a insuance policy for the RG or RT position.

JC needs to sit. He has no faith in the line. The offensive line did what they could and most times they did a ok job. but Campbell doesn't give the team a chance. Opposing Defenses pin their ears back and tee off on our line because they know Campbell will eventually make a mistake.

That's suicide. Collins would have been sacked at least 10 times last night. At least Campbell can avoid some sacks.

Here's my next prediction. Y'all might have heard this before. Campbell is going to leave Washington looking just like Brunell. (Forrest Gump as a child) "Mama said they'd be my magic shoes!"

Jeff Garcia is the answer. He brings the attitude and he's been in a west coast offense all his career. He may not have a huge arm but he would give us a chance and he is also great in the pocket.

Are you his agent? You're posting this crazy idea everywhere.

No, but I see the problems of the redskins and it's is squarely on the QB shoulders. We need a new attitude on this offense. Some HEART. What are Garcia's strengths.

He has excellent feet
He will get the ball out quick
He is a fighter, who never gives up
He will pull the trigger and throw the long ball

He's old yes but we all know in reality that we will be drafting a qb next year any way. so why not take a chance?

Skins don't throw down field anyway.

Did you actually watch the game or are you so pissed off with Campbell that you write this crap. There is not a single quarterback in the league that can function with this offensive line. There were three plays that illustrated how bad this line is.
1. In the first halve there was an unblocked blitz up the middle where the defender got on Campbell as soon as he took the shotgun snap. How can a defender beat a snapped ball. Unf%cking believable.
2. The shotgun snap by Rabach that never got to the quarterback. That will make every blooper reel in America.
3. The unblocked blitz that came right up center, Campbell was able to dodge the guy because he was going so fast. Horrible.
I don't have a vote of confidence of Jason Campbell, he is shell shocked just like Patrick Ramsey was with Spurrier. But until this offensive line is address, I wouldn't want to put any quarterback that I want to keep back there. Campbell is not going remain healthy at this pace. He will join the ranks of the injured reserve.

Re: The line is quite offensive right now

Agree that he is servicable at this time given our state of being the worst Oline in the league. The comment that he is not starters material on any other team other than ours is in context at this time, not years ago when drafted by the Bills. I believe alot of teams at the 4th pick back then would have selected him. Not faulting the Bills for their pick. But in general they are confused...

Re: The line is quite offensive right now

Even the announcers said JC steps up into sacks and I have said that myself several times. Time for JC to go. Maybe he can find a team like the Colts so he can stand back there and miss his open WR.

Re: The line is quite offensive right now

I've been a Campbell backer for a long time, figuring that he just needs to find his rhythm and he'll be golden. He found it for 6 games last fall, and has yet to find it again. He's nursing injuries (His plant (right) foot is heavily taped) and getting beat worse than red-headed stepchild because he's getting no protection from his OL. The best thing for Campbell would be to walk out of town after the season's done and never look back.

That being said, give Montgomery or Edwin Williams a shot at Center, benching Rabach. They have 2 weeks to gel with the first team Offense, make it happen. Rinehart should be healthy enough by then and can be plugged in at RG. Get Levi up to speed and throw him in at LT. Let Heyer and Mike Williams battle for RT. A line of Jones/Dockery/EdwinWilliams/Rinehart/Heyer can't be any worse than what's been thrown out there thus far.

Rebuilding the offensive line has to be the #1 priority in the offseason. If it's not, then no matter who you put behind Center, they are doomed to fail.

Re: The line is quite offensive right now

Unfortunately, I think we have a need to go into free agency to pick up our O-line needs. I think we need a QB too badly with our 1st pick and don't want to bank on anything but a first rounder to start. I think we need to sign patch job guys though, not long term deals. So we can draft our o-linemen for years to come
