He should stay because he'd be an awesome backup and we'd likely need a couple starts out of our backup for the next 3 years.

Campbell is an immediate starter on about 5 teams, though....and would fight for the role for another 10. I don't see how we can keep him unless no one is willing to give us good value for him...which is a distinct possibility...normally teams that have the 5 worst QBs are in rebuilding mode...Campbell is fine, but is not seen as a franchise level QB....that hurts our trading position

Staying here as a back-up and learning the system and scheme that Shanahan runs will help him out more than getting 'lost' in a place like Oakland, Buffalo, or St.Louis. Shanahan will run a complex offensive scheme that will improve Jason's understanding of the game, reading defenses, and decision making ability.

Playing behind McNabb will teach Campbell valuable leadership skills and quarterback responsibilities that he won't likely get anywhere else. McNabb also misses games and JC will be a contributor in a successful offense.

The other players already like Campbell, but him staying will build a higher level of respect from them and the coaching staff.
This team is going to win, IMO, and being a contributing back-up on a winning team looks good on the resume, especially if a Hall-of-Fame coach gives you solid props.

Jason is still relatively young, and when McNabb retires in a few years, Campbell will be ready to assume the leadership role while he is healthy, and only 31-32 years of age. Otherwise JC could be lost as a permanent back-up on a different teams for the rest of his career.

I understand he wants starter's money, and if he can get it; he should.
However, I do not see any team giving him a starting QB contract or making any long commitment in him.
In my opinion, Campbell should stay here as a back-up, and make the best of the current situation. I believe it is the right thing to do for his career.

Sorry Charlie, but JC has been in the league long enough to expect being a starter. Last season he was 14th in passing, that is just above average in terms of a 32 team league. THat means there were 18 QBs that were below him. Take in account that he didn't have a line or a solid WR corp and he should garner some interest from teams like Oakland, Buffalo, or Tampa Bay. Carolina might want to take a shot at him. Secondly, if Donovan stays for say 5 more seasons, what good does it do for JC? Learn the game for 5 more years? By that time he is ready to retire almost. Every QB wants to start and since JC has been or starter for 3 years solid and done a decent job with the drama he has been through, I think he can expect a starting job.

well, at this point Grossman is the better backup on this team. HERE is why. Campbell is learning another new system all over again and we know he is slow. Rex already has a year in the system so he is familiar with everything and will feel more comfortable. Since McNabb is the starter and Jason is leaving after this year...then why not get a 3rd or 4th round pick for him. anyway...its a moot point. he is gone within 10 days. Bank on it.

Being "Familiar to the system" hasn't helped Rex in the past now has it? The whole "Bringing the crappy back-up with you" thing didn't work with Todd Collins either. Todd wasn't good enough to start on any team for a decade and he couldn't even beat Jason Campbell for the job regardless of his familiarity to Al Saunders' system. Rex didn't do well after years in Chicago's system, FAR worse than JC. His worst is still better than Rex's best year. Look at the numbers and talk to the Bear Fans. they like him far less than most Skinz fans like Campbell.

JC learning a new system is old news. As the systems change he only gets better IN SPITE of it, We won't know with McNabb, this will be the first time in over a decade he'll have a big change, and Rex... He will matter as little as Todd Collins. I would MUCH rather have JC as a backup. McNabb WILL get injured. Unless our line is GREATLY improved, McNabb will bet throttled repeatedly and we need a backup who's best is at LEAST better than JC's WORST!!?!?!? :confused- Rex? Really!?!

How is this supposed to make me feel better? His only full season is worst than JCs WORST season and the only thing Rex did last year was throw an interception!?! REX HAS MORE INTERCEPTIONS THAN TOUCHDOWNS! That's all i should have to say. I'll leave it at that.

Rumor

Aparently someone put on Bleacher Report that JC was traded to the Raiders for a 3rd round pick and possibly a 4th. No one has been able to confirm it so it. As you can see I labled my post rumor for a reason but thought I would share. People have gone up to Bleacher Report and have said it's not there now and that everyone can post so who knows how true it is other then to say it's possibly just a rumor.

Edit: I meant to say it's being talked about on Extremeskins.

[GusFrerotte]

I agree, I would love to have JC stay, but he is NFL starter material since he has done it for a few seasons now, plus Shanny has errectively shown him the door allowing him to test the waters. The Grossman acquisition was dumb,and the Parker acquisition was unnecessary. I think we jumped the gun on saying things have changed a full 180 around Redskins Park. THe contracts are better, the FO is more frugal that way, but why even make a deal if it is unncecessary?

It was on Bleacherreport before it was on Extremeskins.
OAKLAND RAIDERS ACQUIRE JASON CAMPBELL FOR DRAFT PICKS | Bleacher Report
Full of bullshit from a bullshit contributer.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

TK considers post #65 an IQ test for ES members. unfortunately, that shouldn't be necessary. Anyone who actually saw the "report" on the bleacher report would know it was complete crap.

^ Honestly I'd rather trade out JC for a 3rd if possible since McNabb was worth a 2nd. Pick up one of the QB this yrs draft to learn under McNabb for 3 yrs or when McNabb's contract is up and start the Rookie then.
