WP: Campbell Ready To Move Forward

That might be worth losing a franchise QB actually.

Actually hell yeah, if Campbell won Super Bowl MVP and goes "yeah sorry Dan, you didnt want me last year so BUH BYE"

I'd laugh, ROFL then become a sad panda.

Everyone including Campbell knows he is not there yet (elite QB status). Skins FO had obligation to go after a suddenly-available-drop-in-your-lap elite QB. They did it correctly by letting the media do all the talking. Now they can claim it was business as usual which it is/was. The Skins FO will continue to explore ways ro upgrade the QB position as they should. I would have been disappointed if they did not go after Cutler. In this case, as in life, it is better to have loved and lost.

Yes, saying FOUR letter words always helps accomplish things.

Well they can use a 3 letter word if 4 letter ones offend you.

"Come on guys, lets kick some ass and show these *******s who we really are"

Redskins QB Campbell given lesson on NFL business

I just got off the phone with Redskins QB Jason Campbell, who found himself in the middle of the Jay Cutler saga as his name was mentioned in trade talks.

Campbell saw Redskins executive vice president Vinny Cerrato in the hallway of the team complex today, and he tried to calm the quarterback’s nerves, but the Cutler-to-Washington rumors still lingered for most of the day. One report even had the deal as imminent.

But now that Cutler has been traded to the Bears, Campbell can move on.

“This has taught me a valuable lesson about the business side of things and the playing side of things,” Campbell said. “A lot of my teammates and coaches reached out to me, and that means a lot.

“I am, and have never stopped preparing like I am going to be the Redskins’ QB.”

-- A lot of people talk about attitude with the QB and how they need to display leadership. This is the kind of attitude I want our starting QB to display: maturity. Mature men are respected, and have teammates and coaches talking to them and reaching out in times like these. A leader is voted captain by his teammates. I think some people have the wrong idea about JC based, at least in part, on a face with a clam demeanor.

Best case scenerio?

Zorn and Snyder both blame Vinny, so he takes the heat.

Years later, this is Campbell's team. He gets Vinny fired.

Redskins go on to be the greatest team of all time.

We can finally move forward, WITH our draft picks.

Part of me was suspicious today that this was a collusion on the part of the Redskins and the Broncos to drive up the price for Cutler. Vinny does have a relationship with the Broncos org AND he has a reputation of betting the farm on trades. And it's plausible that we were trying to dump Campbell.

I wonder what we got out of the deal though.

Campbell is truly a class act.

Here's hoping Campbell has a great 2009 season. I still think he could be the long-term answer.
