Burgold Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 He was smooth accurate and poised. He did it against a vanilla defense, but against a team that will probably be a Superbowl contender. But no matter how many "buts" you want to throw in there... Campbell in his first outing for the new head coach, under yet another system did everything asked of him about as well as you could hope for. Hail to the 'skins.

StillUnknown Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 he looked very comfortable in that offense, its very encouraging to see him play as well as he did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsFactor Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Heck yeah, he looked good. Everyone is saying our season is dependent on how Jason plays. Everyone is saying Jason is playing lights out. Now I'm no mathematician but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 His decision making looked good. He was quick on his passes and it seems like he got rid of the wind up throwing motion he had. It was very easy to cause fumbles on that and it happened a lot last year. and of course the pass protection was good for him for once. Except the one play where Jansen got destroyed.

HogLover Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 He looked good, confident. I want to see him in the fourth quarter, or any quarter when we get down. He made a couple of late game mistakes last year and I want to see how he does this year, especially w/ coach Zorn on the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan1523 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I have been a supporter of Campbell throughout the whole time. And I want him to succeed so bad so I can cram it down all the haters throats. But I guarantee if he does become a good QB in this league, the people who were once saying he sucked will be acting like they thought he was good the whole time. But if he doesn't succeed I will be the first to admit I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Burgold, he did looked poised in the offense, and I've noticed he's throwing with a lot more touch with his first 5 attempts. Yes the defense was about as vanilla for the first pre-season game, but hopefully JC can be in mid-season form by the 2nd or 3rd pre-season game. This is looking very bright.

CaptChaos86 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Campbell played very well, and i was watching his mechanics and they are much improved from last year. He didnt really look like the same qb. His motion and footwork were alot smoother and you have to give credit to Zorn for really working with JC to improve his game.

Skinsfor4 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I can already see the benefits of Coach Zorn and the way he is coaching JC.He threw very well last night and capatalized on the short field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt3d Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yeah, Zorn's teachings have definately left an impression on Campbell. Can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 He took a sack.So not perfect. Promising, no doubt. Taking a sack versus throwing a bad pass, fumbling, or throwing a pick is not actually a negative. On the sack, he had no chance. He protected the ball and the lead. Sometimes taking a sack is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS Redskins Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 He did ok - to be honest, I wanted to see him start at the 20 yard line and see if he could pull off a long drive but was happy they scored. He did well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfWashington Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 From the stands, Campbell looked incredibly smooth and poised. Sure, it was the first preseason game, but that doesn't mean he didn't look good. 5/5, 61 yards and a beautiful touchdown (right across from me too) to Randle El. I'm excited to see him in Zorn's system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinzOwnU Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 The redskins have been a really good team for years. They've been great on defense, and they've had a lot of potential on offense. Gibbs suffocated this team by holding it back from a schematic and philosophical point of view. I had a feeling this team would immediately improve on offense just with a new head coach that was willing to be more aggressive, and it's starting to show already. Let Campbell do what he can do, and we'll be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgun88 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 He looked good. I'm excited for this season. I'm sured he feels good about what he accomplished yesterday. Confidence is a huge thing for a QB. Hopefully it will carry over to next game and then into the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Brown #43 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Burgold, your posts today are pumping me up. Well done. Such a nice change of pace from the "sky is falling" crowd. Ya know, when we recovered that onside kick and had the short field to work with, I could just feel it. I said to myself, we'll be in the end zone in no time. I can't explain it, but I was just confident about this. And JC and crew didn't disappoint. He took a sack.So not perfect. Promising, no doubt. Actually pal, the QB rating does not factor in sacks. JC's QB rating for the night was a PERFECT 158.33333333333334. That's the highest rating possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Hog Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I know this much... A promising pre-season performance from our quarterbacks sure as hell beats seeing them struggle, as has been the case in recent years during the exhibition schedule. Whether the pre-season is indicative of what might transpire during the regular season or not, I for one would much rather have our guys go into week one knowing that they've put together some good performances. This team needs to build confidence, especially with the likes of the Cowboys and defending champion Giants in the division. If a strong pre-season helps in building the confidence, then so be it. I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 He took a sack.So not perfect. Promising, no doubt. :laugh: Campbell had nothing to do with that sack. The only criticism I can think of regarding Campbell was the pass short of the marker on 3rd down. I don't know if that was the right read or not as I couldn't see enough of the play (I don't know if the other receivers were covered). Regardless, he looked sharp, confident, and entirely on the same page as his receivers. You can't ask for more in an early preseason game in a new passing offense.

kevin11 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 The PA fake he had in the 2nd drive was a beauty. He had some nice zip on it and Moss actually caught it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blamed that on the receiver (Cooley wasn't it?) for not getting past the marker. Then again, it was Cooley who is almost always there to get YAC. So maybe that was the play design. Who knows.

terpskins10 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 He took a sack.So not perfect. Promising, no doubt. True, he did take a sack but I really don't see what else he could have done with it. I'm not even sure he was finished his dropback before he defense was all over him. Sometimes taking a sack and not trying to fling it out into the middle of the field IS a good thing. It isn't like coaches tell their QBs to never take a sack. Sometimes it's necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
