Is Campbell Officially Headed Out The Door?

[mlmpetert]

First off I dont like the trade.

But i dont see the reason why people keep saying Colt will be cut? Obviously McNabb has a injury prone history and we need to hedge ourselves by having a QB with some familiarity with the system to step in and take over (Rex Grossman). But unless we end up drafting a QB where does the thought come from that Colt will be cut? I just don’t get it?

The thought comes from Shanahan wanting someone to groom at the #3 spot. Plus Colt was close to being cut last year.

If Shanahan isn't going to keep someone else's veteran QB, what makes you think he's going to keep Vinny Cerrato's longshot project with a funky release?

Colt has never been in Shanny's system to know it.

Shanahan likes mobile quarterbacks who can make plays on the run along with making plays in the pocket. Colt's mobility is ehhhh....not there as he's slower than JC.

Can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit. Trade all of em.

I thought Colt had decent mobility.

As of right now our second draft pick is in the 4th round. I realize that this is likely to change and we will likely make some trades or trade up from 4 but i still cant see us spending a pick in the first 4 rounds on a QB., theres just too many immediate other needs. I also feel like you have a real good chance of drafting a "project" QB late or in FA and putting them on the PS and not worrying about someone snatching them up.

Also McNabb is a solution at QB (while healthy) for the next 2-4 years. So nows not the "have to" time to draft a second, third or fourth round QB that will wait in the wings getting ready. We can draft a qb next year and still have him wait 1-3 years while getting ready.

I just dont see Colt going anywhere.

Redskins Insider - Redskins could bring back Jason Campbell even with McNabb
Still a chance he may come back, but they have given Segal the green light to initiate talk trades involving JC.

Campbell and Colt will both be gone. McNabb starts, Rex is the veteran/familiar with the offense backup, late draft pick (5th rounder) will be the #3/QB of the future

JC will be traded by draft weekend.

Colt could even be traded (for like a 7th rounder) this summer if some team gets desperate

[SolidSnake84]

If you were Campbell, why would you want to stay here? McNabb isnt being brought in to be a backup....you might as well try to hook on with another team....

[TheSmurfs22]

I am just not comfortable with the notion that Grossman could be our backup. Might as well bring Frerotte back!

Any ideas on who that late round QB might be?

[SmootSmack]

No idea

He knows the system and is a capable backup.....far better than Collins or Brennan.
