Jason Campbell (1 Viewer)

[L5UT1ger]

For those in start 2 qb leagues or any other league i guess, is there any rumblings out of Washington that Campbell is going to be starting this year?

The Skins are 2-4 coming off a loss to Tennessee. They get to play the Colts next which will likely be a loss. Assuming they are 2-5 going into their bye week, do you see the Skins making a QB switch?

Is there any discussion out of Washington about Campbell and how he is progressing?

Gibbs left the door open for a change in his words to the media yesterday, but I honestly believe he won't turn it over to Campbell until the Skins are officially out of it. And even though they are out of it now, for all intents and purposes, he won't make the switch until the numbers say so.My own opinion, Campbell will be a disaster. I don't know that he'll be any worse than Brunell, but he won't be the savior that many here are making him out to be. While the Skins MUST find out what they have with him, I don't know that the findings will ultimately be good. But that's just one man's opinion.

Campbell's pretty low on my list of "backups that could be starting soon"....

Brooks

Schaub

Boller

Romo

Griese/Orton

Ramsey/Clemens

Campbell

Rattay

Cutler

McCown

Collins

Is that list based on changing teams?Brooks - He's the starter, just injuredSchaub - Sharkpool wet dream but will never, EVER happen as long as Vick is healthy.Boller - I like the guy but just about every vet/coach on the team has come out with glowing statements about McNair. People were willing to bury Boller not too long ago.Romo - Agreed, but is there anyone that really believes Parcells is coming back next season? Wouldn't he be less inclined to go with a young Romo(who's probably in the long-term best interest of the Cowboys at this point)?Griese/Orton - With Grossman playing like this it'll take an injury.Cambell - Backs up an ancient QB on a young team that starting to lose hope of making the playoffs. He was drafted by Gibbs early.Out of your list I might give you Romo if Bledsoe plays awful and gets a lot of TO's in a stretch of games, but Cambell is the most likely to see playing time regardless of injury to the player in front of him imo.

 

[Kit Fisto]

From that list, Campbell, Romo and Cutler are the closest to playing due to poor performance to their respective starters.

Matt Schaub... he's gotta get out of Atlanta before we know what he can truly do.

I've seen what guys like Ramsey, Boller, Rattay and McCown can do. :X

Brooks, Griese and Collins are veteran backups who's best days are looooong ast them.

All that being said, I think it would be a smart move to give Campbell some more time.

I don't think people around here necessarily think he'll be a savior for the year. I think it has more to do with them being fed up with Brunell's play and the fact (as you said) that they can't imagine him doing much worse than Brunell.

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

not unless Brunell can't walk anymore. Waste of a roster spot if you ask me.

Brunell or Campbell?

 

[T Man]

The SKins are 2 games back in the division. While I am not a Brunell fan, it is far too early to pull the plug on the veteran.

If the Skins are down by 3 or more games after week 11, then Gibbs may call on Campbell. Until then, only an injury to Brunell will get him in the lineup IMHO.

 

[Raider Nation]

All Campbell has to do is march into Joe's office and declare that he's been born again.He'll be starting next week.

Personally I really liked what I'd seen of Campbell at Auburn. He has a nice overhand throwing motion and delivers the ball with touch and accuracy, and has the arm strength to go downfield also with accuracy, and on top of that he showed poise and presence in the pocket. Wasn't really suprised he wound going in the first round. I doubt he'll be a gunslinger but once he's handed the reins I dont see any reason why he wouldn't be a consistent 20 TD guy with minimal INTs. He is actually in a decent situation here because there is no pressure on him at this point. The time spent watching and learning will benefit him down road and he should be a better QB for it.

 

[Kiddnets]

Jets have the Skins 2nd rd pick in 2007 - I say let the kid play!!!

Ummm...Parcells just signed a 2 year extension..do you really think that was for no reason? Romo may get a look but only if Bledsoe screws up 1-2 more games with the emphasis on 2.

 

[Bri]

Parcells has been pretty obvious about his QB choices as far as I'm concerned. I don't think he'll surprise us and put Romo in, we'll see it coming. Gibbs has always been similar IMO. The position relies too much on self confidence and that stems from the coach. They know that and are pretty deliberate.

The contract doesn't hold much weight, sorry it just doesn't.

Jason Campbell-QB- Redskins Oct. 20 - 5:16 pm et

ESPN.com reports that the Redskins are preparing to make a switch to Jason Campbell "sooner rather than later."

Washington are staring a 2-5 record in the face unless they beat Indianapolis Sunday. Then they have a bye week, a logical time to make the choice. Forward thinking owners in 2-QB leagues might want to make a move now.

I am amazed.

 

[fatness]

I've been looking for more local talk of the Redskins changing from Brunell to Campbell. Haven't found anything very informative yet, but I did find this in the Washington Times:

Q: I keep watching the Redskins play every week, and it reminds me more and more of watching those religious fanatics on the news beating themselves over their own heads with chains and rocks. Should I be worried? -- Jim Kundreskas A: Yes, worry.

 

[Marvelous]

I read somewhere (may have been Ben Maller) that Jason Campbell has NOT wowed the Redskins. That makes it a bit harder to bench Brunell.

If you watched the preseason games, Campbell did not really do anything to suggest that he will be better than Brunell currently is.

Also, Gibbs has stated he does not like to change qbs unless he thinks the qb is THE problem. It is pretty easy to find other parts of the Redskins that are not doing well (offensive tackles, running the football, DL, the whole defense, punter, special teams). Putting Campbell in does not change any of these other problems.

 

[southeastjerome]

I am a skins fan and im not comfortable with campbell, so suffice to say that I am not fiending to grab campbell unless I am desperate.

Cerrato used to work for them so I'd guess they're "inside info" is pretty solid for the Skins

 

[rawdog]

But if your team is 2-6 and not making the playoffs, may as well ge working on 07. And Brunell sure doesn't look like their '07 QB.

 

[Despyzer]

I read somewhere (may have been Ben Maller) that Jason Campbell has NOT wowed the Redskins.

I heard an interview with a Washington sports reporter on ESPN radio before the season started. He stated that the Redskins were hoping to start Campbell opening week this year, but that he is clearly not ready to be a starting quarterback in the NFL yet. Maybe he is now.

 

[Boone22]

But if your team is 2-6 and not making the playoffs, may as well ge working on 07. And Brunell sure doesn't look like their '07 QB.

I agree with this. Once they are out of the play-off hunt it would probably be wise to start him and see how he looks in a game situation. Brunell obviously isn't the long term answer so see what you have in Campbell now to find out whether you have to address the QB situation in the off-season.

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Recently, Gibbs has been adamant that Brunell is still the starter. However, in week 3 he stated that "if needed, and given a bye week, Campbell would become the starter. If it was not over a bye week, Collins would take over". They were looking at 2-5 at that point (assuming they'd lose to the Jags and beat the Titans instead of vice versa).

I'd also note that injury reports indicate Brunell lost a toenail and he's also been held out of practice for a hurt arm parts of the week.

I think this is all a precursor to Campbell start after the bye, and giving Brunell a injury reason for being pulled. In fact, mark it down that if the game is out of reach I expect to se Campbell in Q4 of this game.

 

[Capt Hook]

I think Campbell starts in Week 9

If the Redskins lose this week in Indy, the following week (8) will be their bye week - a perfect time to let Campbell work with the first team and prepare to make the switch.
