rvan1 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 before i start, let me say im a jason campbell fan, and im only posing a theoretical question to see get some opinions. With Brunells career only having another year or two (possibly more, but 1-2 more seasons is probably a safe bet), and Patrick Ramsey seemingly on his way way out, how would you feel if the redskins traded for Philip Rivers (who is on his way out of SD) this offseason? Let me reiterate that I like Campbell, but its worrysome that the Redskins will seemingly be putting the whole future into him. I would like to see Rivers/Campbell compete in camp for a starting job. Rivers has had a few seasons to develop (not rushed in) and could be an amazing asset. And, at very least, a lot of security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raperry2 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Well since I go to NC State, I have to agree with you. I wouldn't mind seeing Rivers here in the future. Hate to see Patrick go in a way, but I want to see him start somewhere in the AFC and succeed. And I would definitely trash Campbell for Rivers... sorry Campbell fans, I can't help it, I go to NC State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankRizzo Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I'd rather pick up a capable/steady veteran than have two greenhorns competing for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiebear Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I believe the routine on Campbell was: All around good QB that could have been ready this year... I prefer to have someone standing on the sideline next to the coach and learning his mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1SkinsFan Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 no cambell hasnt even played yet, and i expect him to start once brunell retires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahhyeaa Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Rivers is going to cost to much for us to even consider but you do make a good point with Ramsey probably gone after this year and Brunell with probably only a couple of years left if that we will need to start looking for a QB.

tsunami001 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 i'm still not convinced rivers' sidearm delivery will work in the nfl....it's too easy to bat down, with these quicker/faster/more athletic players... but maybe i'll be proven wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrockster21 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Why? I mean, neither Campbell or Rivers has played a down in the NFL -- they are an equal quantity at this point. I'd rather have Campbell, because he's Gibbs' guy. That's just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Paint Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Phillip Rivers rocks!!!!! He has a ton of talent and a good head on his shoulders. Gibbs would love him. I would be thrilled if Rivers was wearing a Skin jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieneverfan Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 gibbs isnt going to be around much longer with us,maybe a year or two,i dont think hes in it long enough to want to spend a couple years developing a rookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidsuck Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I'm an NC state fan and would love Rivers here, but I simply don't see it happening. You have to remember that Campbell was hand picked by Gibbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herrmag Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 So you're saying we should have an insurance policy consisting of an unproven quarterback in case our current unproven quarterback doesn't pan out? Sorry, I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neophyte Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Even if I liked this idea, and I don't, it is too much money tied up in the QB position. Frankly, I think we have too much tied up there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartskins Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Well I see this like any other deal. What's the point of speculation on whether you're going to do it unless the terms of the deal are clear? If we are going to trade Ade Jimoh for Rivers, then sure, I'd be willing to make the trade; but if we're going to trade CP or some else that's of similar value, then I'm not for it. I think your question is more along the lines of whether we'd want to have Rivers on the field. That's different from saying whether we'd want to trade for him.

That's different from saying whether we'd want to trade for him. yeah i understand that... my question would be more along the lines of would you want Rivers to come in and compete with Campbell for the starting job, given Rivers' outstanding college career and 2 seasons learning the NFL system.
