redskins0756 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 For the most part the Jason Campbell "haters" have been silenced this season. He has managed the game well according to the experts (which really is just a euphemism for not doing anything incredibly stupid and handing it off to your running back) and has won games. But what I saw today was another instance of us needing to come behind and win a game, yet Jason Campbell could not do it. Might I remind you that in all 3 of our losses this season we have put the ball in the hands of Jason Campbell and said win us the game son. Yet he hasn't been able to execute. In all of our wins we have essentially held the lead at the end and asked the defense to step up and Clinton to carry the load. In the National Football League you can not expect week in and week out for your running game to bail you out. You have to rely on the arm of your quarterback to engineer drives to win games. I have yet to see Jason Campbell do this in his career. He didn't do it last year and has yet to do it this year. The only reason why we are 6-3 is that our defense has played tremendously and our running game is back to its 2005 form. Well look at today. Our defense collapsed at critical points in the game, Clinton was stuffed, and we said JC here's the rock make some plays. What did he do? Well he threw 2 interceptions, a completion percentage that for most of the game was under 50% until garbage time, and overthrew the ball numerous times on very easy routes. We can talk about playcalling, defensive collapses, the lack of a running game, and a poor performance by the offensive line. But what I saw in this game was another example of why Jason Campbell has yet to progress to level of an NFL quarterback. We traded up in the draft and gave up multiple picks to get him. A quarterback is supposed to be able to put a team on their shoulder and through adversity win games for you. I don't think that Jason Campbell can do that. If you think he can feel free to express your opinion. This is only my take on the situation and I'm open to listening to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corrupt3d Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Oh yeah? Were you uncomfortable after the Dallas game too? How about Philly? St. Louis? He didn't fumble... but you wait til now? when there was a nothing but pressure in his face to say you aren't comfortable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gca61087 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 campbell may never be a big game quarterback. but as long as he continues to be mistake free and accurate, i'll take him over 90% of the quarterbacks in the league. he had a bad game tonight. everyone does. let's just hope he comes back and kicks some cowboy *** in two weeks.

redskins0756 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 lighten up Francis...he's playing great....just a bad night with sick pressure and horrible play calling. He's playing great because his entire season has been masked by a great running game and defense. He hasn't been asked to do anything to win us games. Yet in the 3 games that we needed him, surprisingly we are 0-3 in those games. I just haven't seen the progress yet to give this guy the praise that everyone has been giving him. He had his chance at home, on the big stage to make a statement. He failed to do so and not only that had probably his worst game as a Redskin. Yes Pittsburgh is the number 1 defense in the NFL, but when he had time to throw and needed to make plays he didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ili Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I don't see any blame on Campbell whatsoever for this loss. The Steelers D was just too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins10 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Every QB has bad games and good games. You couldn't expect him to go all season without hitting a bump on the road. If we are patient with his mistakes (they have been few this season, thankfully) he'll eventually pay off down the road. *edit* Not to mention he was sacked 7 or 8 times and was facing the best defense in football.

NoCalMike Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ummm, he had no protection and Santana Moss was injured, which left us with another undersized WR in ARE, a depth chart WR in Thrash, and a rookie who can't seem to learn the playbook in Devin Thomas. Oh and Cooley was on the line blocking most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly Clinton Portis won us the Dallas game bud We had 203 yards rushing against Philadelphia if you watched the game you knew we won the game again with CP Saint Louis we said here's the ball make some plays. Well he couldn't even do it at home against a winless team at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Its not really that Campbell is not a bad QB, he doesn't seem to get to that next level. He's a great manager but you can't put the entire game on his shoulders because he is not an elite QB. But, every team doesn't have an elite QB, and we as fans should expect these types of games, where the QB needs to step it up for a win. This was Campbell's chance to show everyone that he's an elite QB and he didn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinkz Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 All of you Campbell defenders need to understand that this is the second game where Portis for the most part was ineffective and Campbell had the carry the game on his shoulders. The first game was against the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 There wasn't a blessed thing Campbell could do about the lack of blocking out there. How was any of that his fault. Zorn got completely outschemed and outcoached. He's still green. This thing is bound to happen, particularly against a D as good as Pittsburgh. The 6-2 start caught people a little off-guard. Keep expectations realistic. Zorn is still learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only my take on the situation and I'm open to listening to others. Come on dude. Don't start this. Campbell played poorly against the #1 defense -Zorn was outcoached -The line got whipped -Moss was out for most of the second half You can hang it on Campbell but look at the whole picture. Spread the blame all around where it belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Give me a break. Just give me a GD break. The Steelers have the best defense in the league. With our "pass blocking" I'm just happy JC didn't get hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotInOurHouse Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Wow how quickly for get our first win of the season where Campbell single handedly brought us back to win the game down 9pts in the 4th quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskins0756 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 I dont remember one instance in the game tonight when he had time to throw...he was running for his life the whole game. Then you weren't watching the game because I saw plenty of times where he had time to throw and either overthrew his receiver or held onto the ball too long and got sacked. Yes the protection was terrible at certain points, but that's also because they were sending more than we could block. I can point to 2 specific plays in which JC looked like he didn't know what he was doing. On the ensuing possession after the interception he threw a pass on third down to ARE that was way behind him. Would have kept the drive alive, he was not pressured intensely on that play. Second one is the tipped interception he threw. Threw high once again to Clinton Portis who tried to catch it but it was then intercepted. These are the plays I'm talking about. He is given the opportunity and can't take advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Here we go again, win he's winning, everyones on his jock, he loses, now your not confident with him at the helm........go jump on another teams bandwagon then, we dont need you, sheeeeesh, maybe if #22 can hold on to a dam INT we would have a better outcome......
