This ticks me off

It was clear the approach was different with a fourth quarter lead with Collins behind center. The Redskins were more aggressive and played to win, rather than trying to milk a lead not to lose. To me, they should have been giving Jason the same chances - rather than sticking with an inept running game against Buffalo and blowing it, again - but Saunders and Collins have been together a long time, and Gibbs - who is clearly more comfortable with older QBs - was gushing about him after the game.
"I've been with Todd for a long time," Saunders said after the game in a quote that was cut from my game story. "And it's like anything else: When you have a lot confidence and know what they can do, you have a tendency to do things a little differently."

This makes me mad. Why cant they take the reigns off of Jason.

Gibbs doesn't trust anyone under 30, hence our player-acquisition model...

Man that is pretty telling isn't it? Brings up a lot of what ifs doesn't it?

I think we all believe Jason has a lot more potential then what is being showed. I still don't understand how our first half passing game differs so dramatically from our second half...I mean how many games did we see Cooley racking it up in 1-2 and then nothing in 3-4?

I've never liked Saunders and this isn't helping....

You know there gameplan changed DRAMATICALLY in the 4th quarter with Collins then if Campbell were in there.

We had one drive in the 4th, we were up and went i believe 3 straight plays passing?

If campbell were in, it wouldve been 3 straight runs and punt

and like JLC said, it is a damn shame. Let Jason throw the ball. Yes, he ha sthrow two picks down close, but JC is also one of the top rising QBs and the reigns need to come off instead of playing to not lose.

JLC has said several times that plenty of his NFL soruces in the media and in the NFL list JC consistently int he top 15 QBs and RISING as he learns and progresses. People are seeing much of what us fans are. yes, he makes some poor passes late and that is the most difficult thing for a youngste rtolearn and he is learning, but the leaps in prugress he has made has been pretty substantial.

It just confirms what some of us have said all along. Why did they give up 2 first round picks for this kid if they don't trust him to run the offense. The team was coming off a 5-11 season. What did they have to lose from letting Campbell play? If they had run the offense they ran last night against the Bills, Eagles and Giants, the Redskins would 9-4 and in the driver's seat for the top wild card in the NFC.

EXACTLY. It is unfortunately becoming more and more evident by the minute that the problems with this team start with our head coach. I don't see how anything substantial can improve without us making a change there.

Not true. We can wait until Campbell turns 31 and then really take off from there. How old is he now?

the reigns had been taken off...campbell just didnt make the plays...early in the season it was conservative...and at times it still was conservative last night...campbell just didn't make the plays at the end of games thats it (don't put me in the arena with campbell haters, dont get me wrong i love the kid)

But he wouldn't be in a comeback situation if we had maybe scored a TD or two to extend some of those leads rather than blowing them. In the comeback situation the defense knows you have to throw.
