Why is everyone so convinced Campbell is "it"? - Page 2

I really don't see any way anyone can make an acurate assesment of what jason will be in the NFL. Like was said before, we have to wait and see.

A desire to see him play is just that, wanting to see him on the field and see what he's got. It doesn't necessarily mean he is it.

After watching Patrick struggle, I think we know not to assume someone is IT.

True. I know I would have like to seen him play alot more in the Preseason.

Besides his obvious physical talents, I like because because of his quote about the whole Ramsey situation. He gets it and understands that just because you are the starter and you're benched, doesn't mean its time to whine about it or time to give up and ask for a trade.

His quote:
"When it happened, it hurt my feelings," Campbell said. "But deep down inside I had a lot of pride. I knew that I could still go out there and do it. It was just a block in the road. You have to keep the faith. It's just a test of your faith."

I think we all just need someone to hope in for that position as the current QBs don't leave us with much hope at all. Been a long time for feeling so bleak about this...

CarMike · #21 09-15-2005, 09:10 AM

For me he's part Brunell [in his early days of course] and Ramsey. Strong arm and mobile. He played at the highest level in college and performed very, very well.

We're all hoping that he's the real deal. It seems like its been forever since we've had a reliable QB.

cnhnyy · #22 09-15-2005, 09:19 AM

Well, every fan of every team thinks the YOUNG QB who holds a clipboard is their best QB. Why? Because they have not stunk it up on the field yet.

Redskinmayhem · #23 09-15-2005, 09:19 AM

Well, I was just wondering if I had missed something....Like I said, I like the guy alot for all the same reasons you all do. I was just questioning why it seems he's the one everyone one wants in the hot seat now.

I really hope he's is the one though.

One last thing- All the experts said Ram "can make all the throws". I think that might be the most over-used cliche about QB's. What I personally like about JC is that he's just as comfortable in the pocket as he is running around. That's something I don't think we've ever had here.

He needs a year or two to watch and learn. He is defineately not the bast we got. Everyone forgets that Brunell is a former pro-bowler and playoff experienced.

The Jason Campbell pick was a Greg Williams pick, in the sense that Williams is the heir apparent for the HC job and Campbell will be Greg's guy. JC won't see the field unless the situation is really, really, really bad i.e. injuries or poor record. Gibbs master plan is to ride MB for 3-5 years retire, pass the team to Greg Williams and Campbell. Look at the first round picks ST, Carlos, who Williams wants to build the D around, along with Lavar, and Campbell a QB that Gibbs is hoping won't see the field while he's HC. Remember QB's usually take a min. of 3 years before they are NFL ready, Bibbs can't wait that long but Greg can.

Head coaches don't draft players for their successors. There is no guarantee the GW will even be here when Gibbs steps down. JC was a Joe Gibbs pick.

Why did he draft ST instead of Winslow. How come Carlos insted of Mike Williams. Gibbs is tring to structure the Redskins to win now yes, but he's also tring to insure the long term success of the team, and that includes keeping Greg Williams happy. Unlike other coaches Gibbs knows he's not going to be here, as a HC for a decade, so I do believe he's keeping Williams happy and Williams will replace Gibbs as HC. It is a likly scenerio that JC does play a year or two under Gibbs, but I think it's worst case scenerio type situation.

Patrick · #28 09-15-2005, 09:51 AM

I'm not on the JC bandwagon yet. I thought a QB was a bad pick at that spot in the last years draft and that there were too many other positions we needed to address. And as the QB of the future I have some deep concerns. Yes the kid might have all the phyical tool but his last year in college he was surround by awesome players which made him look that much better. Geezz, TWO of the most productive RBs in the nation sitting in his backfield. ...... I hope for the Skins sake he works out and will be pulling for him BUT I just don't know and have some major concerns about him making as a starting (productive) NFL QB.

MoeRedskins · #29 09-15-2005, 09:53 AM

Campbell is "It" because we have no other choice but to believe it. We gave up a lot to get him, so until he absolutely flops on his face and joins the long line of bust Redskin QBs (which he won't), he is the future of this franchise.

Those are all players that will help us win now. To think that Joe drafted a QB so that GW will have a QB 4 years from now is ludicrous. It is even more obvious with the quick hook that Joe put on Patrick that JC's future will be sooner as opposed to later.

No one in the country has written that Joe drafted JC for GW.
