Al Saunders: Affecting Jason Campbell's Development?


Warhead36

Recommended Posts

Do you think bringing in Saunders affects Campbell's development in anyway, positive or negative?

I mean, Campbell sat out all of last year, but he wasn't the #2, he was the #3 so he was mostly on the bench on gamedays. I never saw him by the Coaches and by Brunell during timeouts absorbing the gameday atmosphere. I think last year was Campbell's year to just learn the X's and O's and get everything down flat.

This year was supposed to be the year he moved on up to the #2 because of the knowledge he obtained through last year, but with Saunders coming in does that change? I mean, does what Campbell learn last year lose value? Or maybe bringing Saunders in helps more because he can apply the knowledge he learned last year to help him learn this year's offense faster and more thoroughly?

I am really looking forward to Campbell taking over as the QB. I've said it before I think he can be our Big Ben, not a great #s QB but win games with a great team around him and make big plays when he needs to.

Nice post. :applause: IMO he will benefit greatly. No one else has a head up on him as far as having previous experience in the system. He will be on the sideline with the coaches this year I'd bet on that.

Once preseason starts we should get amuch better handle on how he's progressing. I hate waiting. :mad:

Too bad it won't be for Washington

???

So are you saying that somehow we are going to release him before he develops into a quality qb? C'mon. What are you basing this on?

Campbell may not start this year but that's fine with me. Having him sit another year on the bench can't hurt. Worst case, he comes in during mop up situations and gets some experience.

I don't think that whatever changes come with Saunders will have a negative affect on JCs development. In college he played in four different offensive systems and still excelled, so learning another offense shouldn't be that difficult for him. I believe he is very smart and will be able to learn whatever he needs to. I think what he learned last year was how an NFL team works. Sitting on the sideline just absorbing the speed and motion of an NFL game, learning how to fit into a system, and the rhythm of the game. The best way to mature a young talent is to surround him with proven veterans and good coaching, which this staff has done. No worries for JC, he's going to be just fine (IMO).

Another baseless, jackass statement from ColonCowboy. But then again he has plenty of High-dollar failed QBs to refer to - Carter, Hutchinson, Henson, etc

Very good points - and, on top of that - Saunders and Gibbs run basically the same system - both Air Coryell disciples. Saudners just varies things much more - no more running the same plays 7 times in a row

IMHO, Saunders will be very positive for JC's development. Saunders and Gibbs are similar in the way they run the offense and are terrific QB coaches. Everything JC has learned in the past year will be a great stepping stone for what he will learn under Saunders. Look what Saunders did for Trent. And I think JC will move into the #2 spot because Collins was brought in to help teach JC the Saunders' offense and be his mentor, not to be the backup QB. There are exciting things ahead of this kid and a long and lucrative career.

One thing I can't get out of my head...

Remember in 1999? The Rams had Trent Green at QB, he goes down, and some no name grocer bum named Kurt Warner comes in and lights it up.

Whats that have to do with Campbell?

Well physically there is no way Warner is as athletic or talented, then or now, as Campbell.

And how much could Warner have known about the Offense when he came in? I mean, I think that was his first year with the Rams. I know he played in NFL Europe, but as far as being in the Rams Offense, that was his first time.

Yet he still came in and lit it up.

Which means that there could be a decent chance that, if it comes down to it, Campbell could come in and play very well for us. The talent surrounding Campbell is similar to the talent that surrounded Warner in St. Louis.

To be clear, I saw him on the sidelines with Pat and Mark often during games.

And of course it doesnt set him back. He is soaking up anything and everything....his time as a #1, 2,3,4, practice squad player, whatever...all of it will benefit the guy. Im not sure I understand the question...Saunders coming in can only help the guy, its not like he will forget or should forget anything hes experienced before Saunders...should Ramsey have forgotten what he learned under Spurrier? He should take the good and the bad and be better because of it.

Another bonus is the similarity between Saunders and Gibbs system, both being Coryell disciples....meaning the terminology should be the same for both. That's where Campbell has a leg up than if a completely different OC came with his own terminology. He will have to learn new plays but he wouldn't have to learn a new verbage of plays. I think it should quicken his development.

Nice try, but there is no way that even a obvious troll like yourself could ruin a great post like this one.

IMO this is a great time to be a Redskins fan and thanks to Joe Gibbs and company, it will be for our children in the future also. I believe that J.C. could step in now and lead this team successfully because of his proven ability at the collegiate level and the teammates and coaches that he has around him now.

If you were any dumber, you'd be funny.

Now go back to your own board.......oh wait, your board SUCKS! (like your team!)

Alrighty then and by by now!

I can't wait for JC either, but...

Mark Brunell is our starting QB. We should really be worried with how Al Saunders affects Brunell's performance. I think Al's system could actually increase Brunell's longevity in that protection is key and the system is predicated on getting the ball out of the QB's hands and into the hands of our play-makers. A healthy Brunell with plenty of weapons around him will keep JC off the field more than anything else. Have patience and enjoy the ride.

From what i have heard the saunders offense isnt orriented that much differently from Gibbs' offense so there shouldnt be too much to learn. I ahve also heard however that campbell is having a hard time picking up NFL offenses so...
