SkinsNatsFan Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 A troll, who is now apparently in read only mode, recently started a ridiculous thread (I know, that doesn't narrow it down at all). This one made a claim about Jason Campbell's faith. The claim surprised me and made me curious. A quick search cleared things up for me. I figured I'd share the first thiing I found on this just in case anyone may have gotten the wrong impression about Jason because of the troll. http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:du7Ynvbc8L4J:www.auburntigers.com/emplibrary/lsu_cover_story.pdf+%22Jason+Campbell%22+Auburn+Faith&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=4 "In February 2000, Campbell committed to Auburn after much deliberation. An individual very strong in his faith, he made the important announcement in front of his church congregation in Taylorsville." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie4redskins Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I figured that troll had no clue what he was talking about. When I questioned his source, his response made zero sense. Thanks for the clarification. I believe faith has a lot to do with how Gibbs judges the true character of an individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 yeah he made up some story about how JC liked to go out and party in college. whoa, thats crazy a college kid hittin the town!!! unheard of. thanks for the clarification! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification. I believe faith has a lot to do with how Gibbs judges the true character of an individual. Well, I dont think Gibbs makes football decisions based on the faith of the player. But, I'm sure that for him, its a bonus. The aforementioned thread was lunacy.

bobzmuda Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I can't imagine Campbell being the partying kind when his Auburn teammates constantly refer to him as being the cheapskate of the bunch. Typically the cheapskate is more of a homebody than a go out to the strip-club type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Weirdo Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 It shouldn't matter what faith he is. Long as he tosses the rock around and scores TDs for the team it should be all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseGoForTheWin Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I figured I'd share the first thiing I found on this just in case anyone may have gotten the wrong impression about Jason because of the troll. You know what, whether Jason has the faith or not doesn't matter. It doesn't make him any better or worse a player or person. Yes, the original post was a little silly, but I don't think it gave anyone "the wrong impression" about Jason. Perhaps it's just me, but that's how I see it.

Grimm Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I dont care if he worships Satan, as long as he can run an Offense, It constantly surprises me on how people become obsessed with an athletes personal life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelarkascend1ng Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 It shouldn't matter what faith he is.

Thanks for the clarification. I believe faith has a lot to do with how Gibbs judges the true character of an individual. I think it's based on much more than just that. Remember, George Bush has a lot of faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutSkins08 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 it shouldn't matter what religion he is, but when someone shoots down all christian NFL QBs and say that they don't produce, then it matters. i mean, it's just an ignorant statement to begin with. i don't think anyone is obsessed with what religion he has, but would you want someone spreading stuff about you that wasn't true?

G-Town Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Who cares what faith he is!??!?!?! As long as he is a decent human being that is all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajokah Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yeah that clown was an idiot. I tried to post a reply on the thread but it was closed by then. He basically was saying JC was a better player because he was an athiest and that Brunnell allowed his faith to interfere with his play.:doh: I dont think we needed to follow-up on that thread, but its good to know he is mentioned as a stand-up guy. Many TD's to come.:point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I believe faith has a lot to do with how Gibbs judges the true character of an individual. I hope that is only a small part of how he judges people. I have met some pretty big, self-absorbed, me-first guys who are Christians and some pretty good atheists. The other way as well but my point is being a Jesus-freak doesn't give you any football bonus over atheists, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, agnostics or Karaoke singers IMO. People are people and their upbringing has a lot more to do with how they are than faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNatsFan Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 I hope that is only a small part of how he judges people. Why do you have to hope? Just take a look at the team he's put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Good work SkinsNatsFan, thanks for doing the leg work to clear up the implacations about Jason in that other thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomahawks Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 The subject of faith is to big for football or sports in general. Whether Jason believes or not (faith or no faith) isn't even valid when someone crosses the line. That's like blasphemy IMO. Scamology threw football out the window and decided to attack Christians not athletes or any other "faith based religion". I know this won't be a popular post but it's my faith and what I believe. I'm a Skins fan for life but my belief in God is always first. And it does matter whether people will believe and or not. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Your goin to message board hell for that post................... :laugh: :laugh: Just kidding. There are many members here that are very active in their religous beliefs, as is our head coach, and many of the players. I'd say it's a pretty popular line of thought when speaking about the Skins.

skeenzfan Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Who care's about his faith? Man has a right to chose whatever faith or lack there of he want's. It is totally personal and has nothing to do his evaluation as a player and person. Non-issue IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now how appropriate is that...our QB of the future is from TAYLORsville. I just love it!!!!!!!!!!! :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 That sounded like some troll ****....personally I'm not religious at all, but whether or not a player or coach believes in a deity does not mean dick to me. I'm concerned with what they do on the field, not off the field (Unless they're raping and killing people or something ridiculous like that).

ColdnGrey Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 who cares about his "faith" or lack there of? It should be a complete non-issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vi Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I don't have a religious bone in my body and as long as he can throw the football I don't really care if he is a Christian, Muslim, Wicca, Atheist, whatever. However disproving a troll makes sense, so I get why you posted this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
