Veretax Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 What happens to Jason Campbell if we lose Al Saunders as Offensive Coordinator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorebd82 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I think he might have a better chance of starting next year, but a bigger chance of flopping as a QB. I think Gibbs mentioned the QB competition yesterday to help entice Collins to return, but with Joe leaving, if Saunders stays, he will want Collins to start. In that case I would expect Campbell to request a trade. But if Saunders leaves, the next coach is going to see a young, talented QB, but have him on a short leash. Campbell most likely would regress because he would again have to learn a new offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Dog Night Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I really don't think that Campbell is at all wedded to Al Saunders, as some of your poll answers suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins n' Bones Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Campbell is our future. From what I've read and heard, most "experts" and "league sources" tend to agree that he is good and has the potential to be great. If a new HC and/or OC comes in and doesn't see that, then I'd be concerned about that coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 I really don't think that Campbell is at all wedded to Al Saunders, as some of your poll answers suggest. I really hope you are right. I love JC I don't want him to go, but if there is any chance we lose Al Saunders, I'm worried about losing JC too. But it could be that JC does better under a better system that would fit his abilities too so who knows :/ For case in point, I felt similarly when we lost Trent Green :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 The new coach watches film. Will bring in a veteran FA QB to compete. JC sits, then is traded for a 6th rd pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armada58 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 JC and Saunders are not tied at the hip. If Saunders gores, JC is still our franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 1. No way Saunders resigns. 2. He'll be our franchise QB either way. 3. God, I hope Gregg Williams doesn't become our HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 JC and Saunders are not tied at the hip. If Saunders gores, JC is still our franchise QB. JC has done nothing to be called a franchise QB. A new coach will be under so much pressure to get back to the playoffs here. There won't be a 3 or 4 year honeymoon like with Gibbs II. JC was Gibbs pick, a new coach will not give him a preference. He'll have to earn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins n' Bones Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 The new coach watches film. Will bring in a veteran FA QB to compete. JC sits, then is traded for a 6th rd pick. I agree with the first two statements. Yes, he watches film, and sees that Jason played not great, but pretty good, and has TONS of potential. I wouldn't be surprised to see a vet brought in...only more motivation for JC. The third couldn't be further from the truth....Cambell will start and have a very good year.

Campbell most likely would regress because he would again have to learn a new offense. im not so sure i agree that he would regress if he had to learn a new offense next year. in four years at auburn, i believe he had four different coordinators and four different systems. plus its a very safe bet that whatever the new system is, it would not be nearly as complicated as al's 700 page playbook.

DGreenistheBest Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 JC wins a Super Bowl within 5 years. Whether that's with our team or another is going to be determined by our new HC or GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right. Plus I remember hearing he had to learn a new system his senior year in high school and now he's had two systems to learn in the NFL. 7 offenses in 8 years. He's going to make someone a hellufa OC one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Martz? led a very talented Detroit lions offense to diddly squat this year. He'll let Campbell get clobbered if he came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM916 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 He will still be our franchise QB of the present and future, however write off another year to "development". The easy sollution is to just do anything we possibly can to retain Saunders. I'd like to see Williams as HC but with Saunders having complete control of the offense.

CallMeGreen Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 IF Saunders goes or is forced out, which I'm leaning away from right now, I think Jason Campbell still enters camp as the #1 QB. They've seen his potential, traded for the #1 pick used to select him and become enough invested in him to give him more time. A more interesting thing would be what happens to Todd Collins if Saunders goes? Even though he's an UFA, Collins might still want to stay here if the offense doesn't flip.

Shilsu Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 2. He'll be our franchise QB either way. Don't be so sure. Remember Patrick Ramsey, after one year of starting and getting injured midway through, Joe Gibbs arrived and from the onset traded a third round draft pick for Brunell and awarded him a huge contract.
