Official QB switch? Thread

[VetSkinsFan]

Correction: if I'm not mistaken, didn't we spend 2 1st round picks on Campbell?

No. In 2005, we traded our 2006 1st, 2005's 3rd, and 2006's 4th to move up to get Campbell.

FYI that 2006 4th turned out to be Brandon Marshall. Ouch.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Campbell
now his career stats are gone. Wow that website must have been giving out great information, why did they take it away. I guess it wasn't reliable.

Yet, you see fit to use it...

I never use it, it was the staff that used it. Get your facts straight.

The staf uzed teh trade informashion. You used the Jason Cambpell career stats informashion. Two different pages.

same website and that shows that the website they used isn't reliable so I do not believe them one bit. Use reliable cites.

So there's a double standard? You can remember 4 years ago and just trust you, but not only does your opposition have to have citations, but credible citations?

Pulp, there were a couple good players selected after the 4th round in that year. Come on now. That is a horrible arguement or point or whatever you were trying to say.

Christ. My point was just to point out how that 4th round pick turned out to be one of the best WRs in the league. Sheesh.

You sticking up for him is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

Maybe if that was my position...however, if you had any reading comprehension, at all, you would understand I'm not "sticking up for him."

In fact, I've called for an open QB competition next year multiple times. How is that "sticking up for him."

Please, go ahead and find me a post that I've made that says, without any qualification or reservation, that Campbell should be our starting QB in 2009.

[same website and that shows that the website they used isn't reliable so I do not believe them one bit. Use reliable cites.

Sure, we can play this game

With most NFL analysts believing this weekend's draft is one of the weakest in memory, the Washington Redskins yesterday surprisingly traded their No. 1 pick next season and two other picks to the Denver Broncos for the 25th overall selection Saturday.

The Broncos will also get Washington's third-round pick this season and its fourth-round pick in 2006. The deal leaves the Redskins with only two picks on Saturday: the ninth and 25th.

So...how about a cite to that Joe Gibbs quote you remember? Please use a reliable source, preferably a national newspaper.

You haven't proved anything the analysts are so on top of things, there always right to. Wow, you know, why aren't these guys on TV and in the war room. You post the most up surd things ever, your reading comprehension isn't very good. That happened even though you did not cite it, proving my point once again, you are not very reliable whats the difference between me not citing something and you citing something that isn't credible. The answer is nothing so don't tell me to cite something again when you are not citing credible resources. You are not sticking up for him, the way your coming after me, certainly contradicts what you say. If you weren't sticking up for him, you wouldn't have responded to my post. And wouldn't have cared if we got rid of him one way or the other. In reality I am talking to JC's agent, or Dan Snyder in disguise. Your just like the Transformers. Pulp Exsposure Dan Snyder in disguise. Or Pulp Exsposure JC's agent in disguise.

So did a lot of other Qb's, this whole learning a new offense is a myth, learning a new offense does not affect or hinder a Qb whats so ever.



This statement is basically saying the same as someone falling of a skyscraper and yelling on the way down, "Hitting the ground will not affect me or hinder me as a functioning human being ever again what so ever."
This statement is just as ridiculous as the former one above it. Of course starting anything new will affect a person. Maybe that is one reason why teenagers have high insurance, because it takes them awhile to learn how to drive and become comfortable doing it.

Jason Campbell is on the verge of setting a new team mark for lowest interception percentage in a season.

Campbell has thrown 476 passes with just six interceptions, a 1.26 percentage. That would best the previous mark of 1.60 set by Mark Brunell in 2006.

NOOOOOO!!! THIS CAN'T BE TRUE! CAMPBELL IS THE "WROST" QB SINCE SHULER!!!

[Fios]

Oh, sorry. Still getting a kick out of the VC reference. As if his opinion is one of worth. I'm still waiting for an Isaih reference. I would love one. What does Isaih think of JC. If he is a go, it is FACT that JC is the best QB in the NFL right now.

Who is Isaih?

Seriously though, I think that what you are missing completely is the fact that JC has shown absolutely NO improvement and even CONSIDERING him to be potentially a championship-caliber QB is idiotic and boarders on insanity. He sites fumbles???? What???? I care about points scored, passing yards, passing rating, you know --- the stats that MATTER. The funniest part is the "how do you know" quote. Priceless. I swear VC is a straight up baffoon.

First, if you want to call someone a buffoon you should, you know, spell it correctly. Secondly, this:

http://www.nfl.com/players/jasoncampbel ... =CAM375235

You'll note his passer rating, completion percentage and yards have gone up -- also known as improved -- each year. I know though, it's easier to engage in hyperbole than actual facts. Note, I'm not saying I think the world of JC, in fact I think his ceiling is lower than I did at the start of the season. But you said: "I care about points scored, passing yards, passing rating, you know --- the stats that MATTER." and then failed to note the improvement in 2 of the 3 stats that MATTER.

still waiting for a reply

Really? You post this? Who gives a crap about lowest INT % when you're comparing dink and dunkers? Is it me, or is it kind of hard to throw an INT if you don't take a chance and throw the ball actually past the first down marker?

Now I'm not saying he's the worst QB since Shuler, but he really isn't very good...at all. I don't care how much some people say that he's improved, because he still can't score any points. If it weren't for Portis being the stud that he was at the beginning of the season, Campbell would've looked about as good then as he has the latter half of the season. Teams had a reason to to allow Campbell to throw, they had to defend Portis. now, they all seem to know that with Portis hurt and Campbell unwilling to throw over their collective heads, they can (and should) still try to defend the ailing Portis. I find it somewhat amusing that Defenses find an injured Portis more of a threat than a healthy Campbell.

To put things into the proper perspective...

Portis has scored 8 rushing touchdowns.

Sure he's accounted for a sizeable chunk of the Redskins offensive production (team total: 4852 yards) with his 1407 rushing yards, and 218 recieving yards, but he hasn't exactly been our offensive scoring threat either.

Now before anybody goes and starts blaming the coaching for his lack of touchdowns, ask how that's any different from Campbell's excuse for the very same indictment.

Open competition for QB next year. Give Brennan a fair shot.

I was simply citing another area of improvement for JC, along with the points of improvement Fios posted... and also making a joke with it. Only one QB, Jeff Garcia, has thrown less Int's this year... one less Int. Now, in no way did I anoint JC to the HoF with that post, just sharing some facts regarding an area of improvement. He is improving, so it's not inconceivable that he will continue to improve. That doesn't mean you don't give Colt a look, as I've said a gazillion times before.

But I still go along and agree with what PulpExposure said several pages ago...

Zorn has improved his mechanics, but he hasn't done much at the tail end of this year to show that he's a much better QB than he was.

As SkinsFreak posted earlier...you run an open QB competition, and let the best man win. It's not inconceivable that Campbell will get better with the offense, and feel more confident (i.e., take more shots downfield) once he spends more than 1 year starting in the same system.

It's also not inconceivable that Brennan fits the system better than Campbell and wins the job.

I agree with you, I was just arguing with a friend about this, I told him that Campbell might be a Garcia type QB in this league, were he will not put up big numbers, take care of the football , and make crucial plays with his feet. I believe people want a Brees, Manning, and Tom type QB. Every QB is not going to be that caliber.

Has Campbell really had a fair shot? He has had 3 different Coordinators. I don’t see how any QB can be that comfortable to play at a level he needs to play at. Plus looking at his stats he has improved every year. It is funny to come on here, and read the non sense people write. When you have to learn something different every year it is hard to play fast because you have to think so much before the snap of the ball, to play this game you need to just react and that takes time.
You read about fans and this organization about consistency with players and coaches. But as soon as things go wrong they are ready for a change. Giants, Packers, and Chargers were patience.

Correction: if I'm not mistaken, didn't we spend 2 1st round picks on Campbell?

No. In 2005, we traded our 2006 1st, 2005's 3rd, and 2006's 4th to move up to get Campbell.

FYI that 2006 4th turned out to be Brandon Marshall. Ouch.

He has not improved one bit, he benefited from coaches being very unfamiliar with Zorn's play calling. Once they became familiar. He went back to being his old terrible self.

JC has gotten worse as the season goes on. If he has improved he would have gotten better as the season goes on. He has regressed and thats why we need to get rid JC in the off season.

IF he improved he would be playing better as the season goes on, not HAVE A COUPLE OF LUCKY GAMES, and than stink up the joint the rest of the season.



JC NEEDS TO BE TRADED IN THE OFF SEASON, no open qb competition unless its Colt and someone else. JC has had his oppurtunities and has FAILED, he has done nothing to warrant a starting job.

I'll ignore the stupid post and wait for one that replies with facts

Now before anybody goes and starts blaming the coaching for his lack of touchdowns, ask how that's any different from Campbell's excuse for the very same indictment.

So, let me get this straight...

Portis accounts for roughly 1/3 of the Redskins total yards this year and Jason gets credit with roughly the remaining 2/3. Portis has scored 8 TDs with those numbers, while Campbell only 12? The guy touches the ball EVERY snap (excluding one or two total)! How does he only get 4 more touchdowns with that many more touches and more options than Portis has?

Now, while I don't think much of Campbell, I do agree to a OPEN competition in camp. I just don't trust the term "open" when it comes to coaches. The coach usually has a preconceived idea as to who he wants, "open" competition or not. {see Joe Gibbs} If this is the case then I seriously hope that Zorn wants Brennen. Now, if Zorn is actually willing to honor the term "open," then I'll be content with his decision.

Now I'm not saying he's the worst QB since Shuler, but he really isn't very good...at all. I don't care how much some people say that he's improved, because he still can't score any points. If it weren't for Portis being the stud that he was at the beginning of the season, Campbell would've looked about as good then as he has the latter half of the season. Teams had a reason to to allow Campbell to throw, they had to defend Portis. now, they all seem to know that with Portis hurt and Campbell unwilling to throw over their collective heads, they can (and should) still try to defend the ailing Portis. I find it somewhat amusing that Defenses find an injured Portis more of a threat than a healthy Campbell.

I was simply citing another area of improvement for JC, along with the points of improvement Fios posted... and also making a joke with it. Only one QB, Jeff Garcia, has thrown less Int's this year... one less Int. Now, in no way did I anoint JC to the HoF with that post, just sharing some facts regarding an area of improvement. He is improving, so it's not inconceivable that he will continue to improve. That doesn't mean you don't give Colt a look, as I've said a gazillion times before.

But I still go along and agree with what PulpExposure said several pages ago...

Zorn has improved his mechanics, but he hasn't done much at the tail end of this year to show that he's a much better QB than he was.

As SkinsFreak posted earlier...you run an open QB competition, and let the best man win. It's not inconceivable that Campbell will get better with the offense, and feel more confident (i.e., take more shots downfield) once he spends more than 1 year starting in the same system.

It's also not inconceivable that Brennan fits the system better than Campbell and wins the job.

I agree with you, I was just arguing with a friend about this, I told him that Campbell might be a Garcia type QB in this league, were he will not put up big numbers, take care of the football , and make crucial plays with his feet. I believe people want a Brees, Manning, and Tom type QB. Every QB is not going to be that caliber.

Has Campbell really had a fair shot? He has had 3 different Coordinators. I don’t see how any QB can be that comfortable to play at a level he needs to play at. Plus looking at his stats he has improved every year. It is funny to come on here, and read the non sense people write. When you have to learn something different every year it is hard to play fast because you have to think so much before the snap of the ball, to play this game you need to just react and that takes time.
You read about fans and this organization about consistency with players and coaches. But as soon as things go wrong they are ready for a change. Giants, Packers, and Chargers were patience.

He is no Jeff Garcia, Jeff has been far more successful, and is way than crappy JC.

Once again READ, MIGHT have a Garcia Type career, I didnt say he was Garcia at this point in his career.

Campbell looks like a good, but not yet great, QB. Good enough if he has blockers, runners, and receivers. That's not a joke: no QB is supposed to carry a team.

Watching Campbell work, I see a better QB than last year, and he was better last year than when he first started.

That's improvement.

This team needs better OL, and at least one more WR. Moss can't be the one-and-only.

Open competition? Collins is old, immobile, and just good enough for a backup. Brennan looked good in pre-season, which means nothing.

For the team's sake, fix the things that need fixing, and leave those that are good enough.

Good enough? Most of the defense (could use the next Diron Talbert or Charles Mann...a lineman who can stop the run and pressure the passer). Otherwise, fix the OL and find another receiver.

Now, if Zorn is actually willing to honor the term "open," then I'll be content with his decision.

And, if he's not? You going to fire him?

What a moronic response. Of course I'm not going to fire him. I'll think he's just like all of the other liars in the District. I'll hate this organization from the top, as usual. Most of these payers play hard, it's just that some aren't good enough, especially with the cash coming their way. Put the best product on the field possible, and I'll continue to pay my dues as a fan, win or lose. Lie to us(the fans) and look the part, then I'll wait for the next coach and hope that he can do better.

I agree with welch and others who just want to ensure that whoever we have playing gives the team the best chance to be successful and also makes others around him better.

That being said in my opinion we primarily need to address certain positions on both lines primarily to improve our scoring on offense and on the defensive side to have more pressure up the middle on both the RB and QB.

ALSO - I hope that we see an open competion for the QB position between Cambell, Brennan and another QB who can have an opportunity to start here if he can show that he gives this team the best chance to score more points.
Campbell has shown what he can do and I do admit he has progressed but he is also showing that he is just a good QB and he has definetly shown that he is not a QB that will be able to go out there and score a lot of points if we need them. We need to bring in someone that can be better than Campbell - IF Brennan shows that he has the ability to lead this team then we should go with him BUT I for one am not going to be happy knowing that if Brennan is our starter and Campbell is our back-up. WE need a better back-up plan. We can have Campbell as our #3 or we should get something for him.

Campbell is hopefully not our best option at QB in 2009.
