MattFancy Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 In regards to the Skins trading for Matt Cassel: WASHINGTON REDSKINS — The ‘Skins are going to live and die with their current quarterback, Jason Campbell, and have put the word out that they will not be players in the free-agent market. However, they will need to consider making this move and should do their homework before they dismiss the notion of a trade. Trust me on this, a year from now the ‘Skins will be looking for a quarterback. What do you guys think? Will we need a QB next year or can Campbell pull though and prove his worth? I'm interested to hear because I haven't heard much talk from the media about this.

stwasm Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'd still like to see what he can do behind a halfway decent offensive line. We could have Sammy Baugh in his prime and I don't think he'd be successful behind the line in its current form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 yeah, cause he's so knowledgable on the Skins.....this is just unwarranted speculation that some will see as GOSPEL and some will see as trash (count me in the later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santana_4_prez Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 This is definitely a make or break season for JC...DUH! So we may or may not need a QB in 2010. We shall see. You don't need to be an expert to figure that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilsu Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 We might a need a QB but can we stop overpaying for them? 1st, 2nd, 3rd rounder for Brad Johnson. 3rd rounder for Mark Brunell. 1st, 3rd, and 4th for Jason Campbell.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think its interesting that the media is starting to talk about this. I just thought it was an ES thing. I think we should wait and see what Campbell has done by midseason of next year to decide his future. If we are playing well then he gets his extension, if not, then we consider other options.

SnyderMustGo Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'd still like to see what he can do behind a halfway decent offensive line. We could have Sammy Baugh in his prime and I don't think he'd be successful behind the line in its current form. How can you still think this? Remember last year when Campbell was struggling behind the line... the same line that after he got hurt, all of the sudden turned into a great line allowing Todd Collins to look like a MVP? Remember that? Granted, I'll concede that our line can and hopefully will be better. But I cannot imagine that you would think that improvements on the line will solve all his problems or that the line is his problem. The problem is JC. Yeah, if we put a Pro Bowl line in front of him and put Randy Moss, Fitzgerald, and Calvin Johnson three wide with Gonzalez at TE... yeah, he might look a bit better. But the easier fix is to get a better QB instead of waiting around to see what he will look like on the greatest team ever formed (which we will never see). There are plenty of QBs who can survive and do better behind that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedskinDaddy Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Won't happen. That is not to say that the Dan isn't considering approaching the Pats about Cassel. I'm pretty sure he is -- but ultimately they want too much for him, and the jury's still out on JC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'll give 2 to 1 odds that Jason is gone in 2010 as well. We will be looking for a new QB in 2010 so I agree with the writer. However I don't think we need to be looking at Cassell as our answer at this time. I don't think he's worth two top ten first round draft picks which is what I expect us to draft. If we could package up a deal for Cassel for one number one pick and players I'd be interested this year but with the tag that's not going to happen. Cassell is a very raw project QB but showed last year he could play in the league and be top 10 if he's given time to study and learn an offense. I just don't think bringing him here would be a smart move at this time for the price we'd have to pay him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Sadly, in respect to the time and effort we've put in to him, and having to start over, bar some more "franchise arrogance" from the men up top refusing to admit their mistakes, I fear we will be looking at a new starter come 2010. (Some would say, myself included, a change should be made now, but that's another issue.). The question is do we have enough faith in last years 6th rounder, or will we have to start over through the draft or getting a proven vet. in? If things continue next year as the current starter has shown to date, then hopefully we'll at least get to see the aforementioned 6th rounder in some full speed NFL games to know a little more on exactly what our plan should be going forward. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedlightG20 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I would say the Panthers would be more interested in Cassel than the Skins are. And since the Pats franchised him this year, and if he goes back to riding the bench behind Brady, wouldn't his pricetag go down in 2010? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMONEY Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 There's no doubt iin my mind that if the Skins shore up the offensive line Jason will be fine. The running game as well as the passing game took a step back because of the line. Devin Thomas or Malcolm Kelly need to move into the #2 spot. Randle El isn't a #2 WR period. As some on this thread have already said, I don't think any QB can consistently perform behind this current line. To play in a new offense, behind this line is proof in the pudding to me. This O-line stinks right now. I think the Skins need to get a DE that can play the run as well as rush the passer. They haven't had one since Charles Mann.

IbleedBnG83 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I think we will need a new QB because we will have a new GM, HC, and subsequently they will bring in a new system and want a new QB at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaganaut Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Campbell was a significant risk when he was drafted. This was insult to injury after Brunell. Unfortunately, Gibbs made these mistakes. Should have traded way up to get Rothlisberger. Campbell was a lukewarm choice from the beginning. How many people on this board were jumping for absolute joy when that trade went down? Zilch. And we were right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 candle is never going to get it done. hes too timid and not a risk taker. hes always going to be a decent game manager, but he'll never be a winner, which is something we need. candle needs to be on the ravens or the bears, or some team with a rabid defense that can get multiple turnovers for him that turn into field goals of slow clock eating drives. candle is never going to lead anybody anywhere but down.

USS Redskins Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 2008 was JC's 3rd season as a starter. More than enough time to evaluate. By November he looked like the 6th round pick he should have been and the next Patrick Ramsey. I wanted like hell for it to work but it didnt. Time to move on to the next debacle. My only problem with his statement is the date... 2010? The Skins need a new QB NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan93 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I just don't see how some of you guys are "confident" in Campbell IF we shore up the line. I could understand you being optimistic but confident?...come on. I'm not a JC supporter but will still root for him to do well. But being realistic, I'm not going to hold my breath.

Yeah, then we can talk "media". Besides, its Lombardi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
