Let me tell you where I\u2019m at on things.<\/p>\n
For over a year, I\u2019ve been of the opinion that Jason Campbell is an adequate quarterback. This doesn\u2019t mean that I believe he\u2019s a pro-bowler, or that he is a shoe-in for the hall-of-fame; but adequate.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always believed that Campbell is your consistent QB. He\u2019ll win the games by playing 60 minutes, but isn\u2019t the guy who can take the team on his shoulders in the last quarter and pull off a stunning upset; not by himself.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve argued that Jason has been a good possession QB. He protects the ball, and moves it efficiently, and it has always been my belief that the third and long plays where he hits the guy short of the first down marker were because that\u2019s what the play called for.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t believe that anymore.<\/p>\n
These past three weeks have shown me a different side of Jason Campbell.<\/p>\n
Now before you jump up and tell me about how much Jason\u2019s offensive line sucks; let me tell you, I know that already.<\/p>\n
To say that Stephon Heyer was struggling on that left side would be an understatement, but it is Jason\u2019s responsibility to protect the ball. Jason Campbell was responsible for 10 of Philly\u2019s 27 points; by himself. He had an interception returned for a touchdown, and fumbled the ball within field goal range. Philly\u2019s margin of victory was 10-points.<\/p>\n
When you add Radnle-el\u2019s muffed punt, you see that 13 of Philly\u2019s 27 points were points the Redskins gave them.<\/p>\n
Now the defense may not have been perfect. They did give up two big touchdowns, but when you take away the points that the Redskins offense gave them, the Redskins win by 3 instead of lose by 10.<\/p>\n
Unacceptable.<\/p>\n
Now that\u2019s just the scoreboard\u2019s take on things. Jason fumbled and bumbled throughout the game. He botched several snaps including a fourth and goal. He missed several open receivers including Moss who was wide open behind the secondary and would have been in the end-zone before anyone could catch him.<\/p>\n
The plays were there; Jason just didn\u2019t make them.<\/p>\n
For all the crap this team took last week about the \u201cbingo caller\u201d calling the offensive plays; the play-calling was great, it was Campbell that stunk up the joint.<\/p>\n
We finally saw some deception! We were passing from running formations, and we finally saw the bootleg, we even made it into the end-zone our first time into the red-zone; on a passing play no-less!<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, all of that is going to go for naught because Campbell couldn\u2019t get it done.<\/p>\n
The defense played great. As I mentioned earlier, they gave up two big touchdowns, but that was the only weak-spots of the night for them.<\/p>\n
That great defensive performance \u2013 poof! \u2013 gone. No one will remember that because the team lost 27-17.<\/p>\n
In my esteem; Jason has slipped from adequate\/average to borderline pathetic.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s starting to look now like if the team wins it will not be because of Jason Campbell, but in spite of him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
