A CAMPBELL SPECIAL

At this time of year, during organized team activities, many players are said to look good.

But Washington quarterback Jason Campbell (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/407793) is said to look especially good.

After two years in the league as an understudy, and four hours each day this winter and spring in Washington's training facility simply studying, Campbell is said to look like a different quarterback, Redskins officials said this week.

http://images.nfl.com/photos/img9517137.jpg Redskins insiders are saying Jason Campbell is showing the potential they saw in him in 2005. One observer even predicted, boldly, that Campbell would go to the Pro Bowl this season.

Of course it's a long way from Washington in May to Hawaii in February, but Campbell has demonstrated improved technique, understanding and confidence. And after a week of OTA's, he has been the most talked about player in the Redskins organization.

"It's unanimous from everybody," one Redskins official said this week. "You can definitely see it. He's like a totally different quarterback. The receivers have been like, 'Wow.' "

Much of the credit belongs to Washington offensive coordinator Al Saunders and quarterbacks coach Bill Lazor, who have poured their energies and time into Campbell's offseason training.

But Campbell also has recognized that the Redskins need him to step up in a way that Patrick Ramsey (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/302216) and Mark Brunell (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1032) and every other Washington quarterback in recent seasons hasn't.

So far he has. But the key will be whether he will continue it in training camp and then into the regular season.

He even went on to say an observer predicted he'd be a Pro Bowler this year. Here's to hoping that's true!

Everything I have read on Campbell gets me excited to see what he has got this season. Talk may be cheap, but hearing him talk about practicing hard and showing his determination makes me have a different feel about him as a QB. I was very excited about Ramsey because of his strong arm, but Campbell seems to have more intangibles. Lets hope the game is really coming to him.

Great to hear, thanks for posting that. Campbell will prove to be the best young QB in the NFC this year.

Man, that sure is encouraging! That gets me excited, simply because the success of our offense rests squarely on his shoulders. We need to score points.
Im confident our defense will rebound. If Campbell has a stellar season, watch out! :applause:

Damn...I hope so. Jason Campbell, will hopefully lead this team to its old glory, that sadly, due to my age - I never saw.

But, I also hope, his not treated like Ramsey - Being held responsible, for all the teams errors, and loses.

Just him being in the same offense for 2 straight years is going to have a HUGE impact

He won't be "thinking" about plays. He will know them like the back of his hand

So instead of reading where his WR's are going, he'll be reading coverages. JC will put the ball where it needs to be

This all makes sense, knowing his work ethic and the fact this is year 2 in this offense

I've got a really strong feeling that Campbell is going to blow us all away this year. It's just a feeling, I know, but I can't shake it. He looked so poised late last year for a guy making his first starts.

Great news.....
Especially coming from Adam Schefter (who some feel also has an anti-Skins slant at times), who is usally good at giving decent scoops and news.

Hopefully, this year will really show his abilities.
Now if only Lloyd gets open and catches the ball...........

i've been telling people that sinc last year. No QB in this league could switch offenses, especially ocoming out of college, and expect to have a pro-bowl season, and after seeing how he played, better then I expected and I know he will do even better! im pumpeddddd

IT's gonna be awesome that no other team can win the big one with an african american QB's besides us. and That would be awesome if JC does take us to a superbowl, whether it be next year or whatever, but it just goes to show you it doesn't matter what color you are, it matters what qb fits that system. I think that'd be an awsome feat.

I just love this guy in the pocket, and as a QB period. He doesn't show his weakness, and he never let's the opposing side see him sweat. Hell he doesn't even let HIS team see him sweat, because just like tom brady, they are a rare breed of poised, pocket-that can scramble well whe needed, and win games with their smarts.

Maybe, me being a redskin fan im bias but I think people OVERLOOK Campbell.
Is it too hard to imagine that it's our time and i mean after so many bad players we have had at that position, do you think it's too farfetched that we finally found our solid performer?

I THINK WE HAVE, all we have to do is stand behind him. because as a human, he will not always play perfect. But, The kid is amazing. I dont even wanna pump him up anymor ebecause I just want him to go out there and show what he can do, cus im confident

although much has been made of the Dline this offseason, or lack thereof, the success of this team rests squarely on the shoulders of jason campbell.

also, it appears from that article that saunders is the driving force behind campbell's progress (along with lazor) so i wonder how many people here are gonna love saunders if campbell, as well as the rest of the offense picks up and excels.

i know right, you don't see players and staff talking about how good a player looks unless he has big change in his play, I've been trying to tell people since we drafted this kid (JC) that he is going to be special. He is the type of player, that once he learns and absorbs the playbook and offense and gets a chemistry with his players, he is dangerousssss. And according to how he progressed in college, It's this year, and next year are his break-out years. then after that he is a solid starter that we needed/have.

Absolutely. I am excited about seeing how he has improved.

I'm looking ahead one more season for this development to be at the point that we can be a Superbowl contender. To expect that from him this season is expecting too much, but if he's developing as much as it sounds like he is right now I don't see any reason to think that JC and our entire offense can't be ready for 2008 to make a Superbowl run.

My expectations are so high, i'm screwed, if Jason Campbell isn't awesome i'll be disappointed. However, I believe, with questions about Romo and the new o-coordinator, Eli and coughlin and having no ground game of right now, and McNabb and his health, I'd say Campbell is the QB to beat in the NFC east.

I think this guy is the real deal. I blasted Gibbs for using three high picks to take Jason, but it is looking more and more like it was a brilliant move by our HOF coach - and trust me, I do like being proved wrong in such instances. It seems we have finally found our franchise QB, but as with Sean - we have yet another big contract extension to mull over in the very near future with Jason.

gibbsandflair
May-17th-2007, 05:51 AM
The legacy of Gibbs II may be that he found our franchise QB. We took alot of heat with the trade with Denver, but if this kid is the real deal, then it is just more of Coach Joe magic

Huh? Every time I have heard Schefter talk about the Redskins I find him to be very objective. I think I remember Schefter stating that he thinks Monk should be in the HOF but was playing Devil's advocate in explaining the case against him. I truly think Schefter is one of, if not, the best sports journalists working today. Certainly better than that punk Clayton on ESPN.

McMetal
May-17th-2007, 08:18 AM
It's just such a crap-shoot drafting QB's. You really, really want to hope you got a good one, but it's SO difficult to predict.

I think JC has shown a lot of promise to this point and merits our optimism. But there are so many things that have to come together for a guy to succeed at this level, and not all of them are under his control.

I really hope he goes out and tears it up. If not, it will be another repudiation of the Saunders move...

I truly think Schefter is one of, if not, the best sports journalists working today. Certainly better than that punk Clayton on ESPN.Schefters case against Monk being in the hall of fame was can you name one great catch that he has made that stands out, I mean that is completely laughable about why he shouldnt be in the hall of fame. If anyone remembers NFL network when he and Jamie Dukes were on for the hall of fame vote and Schefter said this and Jamie completely ripped him for that comment, it was great.

But back to Campbell, I really think the way he ended the Giants game that he was getting comfortable and getting used to the speed of the game. Now he has had all off-season to learn the playbook and now he has camp to get reps with the first team. I am not going to set my expectations to high but I will not be surprised if he comes out this year and continues to get better and have one of the best offenses since Gibbs first got here. I mean can you guys imagine if Campbell is throwing deep bombs to moss and spreading the ball all over the field what that would do for Portis??? Portis will not be facing constant 8 or 9 man fronts since he has been here if that happens!!

I missed what Schefter was saying about Campbell because I flipped on NFL Network right when he was moving on to the next subject. It's encouraging to have a good young Quarterback to watch grow, and hopefully Gibbs lets him grow instead of continuing to give underserved oppurtunities to Mark Brunell.

May-17th-2007, 08:47 AM
Not to be pessimistic, but I can't get my hopes up too much quite yet. Taylor Jacobs looked great in practice too. I must say though, hearing these things does get you excited. I almost get the feeling that if I react too positive about it, that I will jinx it lol.

I do think our offense has a very solid chance at breaking out this year. Everyone with a year of growing in this offense, almost all of our starters remaining minus Dock, it's very promising.

I just want to reserve my giddy excitement of us actually having a franchise QB after I see him make the hot read on a blitz up the middle, and make consistently accurate throws. After I see that I'll spend the rest of my energy hoping and praying that he doesn't get injured.

The thing to me is that last last the skins were 13th in yards per game and scored 19.2 points a game. If Campbell can help to get 30 or so more yards a game and can make last years field goals into a TD or a punt into a FG once a game, we will have a top 10 offense (getting another 3.5 points per game). He would need about 225 yards passing each game which isn't asking too much (if we continue to rush about the same, ~140 yards a game).

I hope you are kidding. Schefter is a weasel. The worst out there. He wasn't playing devil's advocate regarding Monk, he was making extremely lame arguments against him. He could easily have made arguments for him.

I just remember every time I heard Schefter, he would say "tell me one catch you remember Monk making" as his reason why Monk shouldn't be in the HOF.

Schefter is a joke.

Thats what happens when you go 5-11, the year before we made the playoffs and won a playoff game, and the media seems to forget so quickly how a team can go from losing to winning these days. Just look at the Saints from last year and then look at them the year before that. Its not uncommon for teams to turn it around in the nfl, especially w/ a HOF HC and an Owner that is not afraid to pull the trigger for his HC may not always be the right decision, but we can all agree the this staff is not afraid to make a decision to try and better the team.
Back to J.C. if he plays even a lil better than last season than our O will get the confidence that has been lacking for some years. Its sounds to me that the O is very impressed w/ J.C. improvements, and that is a big deal in itself.

Actually yes I would. I do not have a man crush on the kid, but I feel that if you draft a guy in the first round, you can't let him sit on the bench too long. I've never liked brunnel, thats a fact, and the fact that he was holding up JCs possible development didn't help either.

I'm trying to keep my excitement level for him down right now only because its going to be his first full year starting. But I tell you what its one of the hardest things to do. I was praying and begging that we would draft him when we did and it made my day, now after seeing him play in those 7 games last year I strongly felt he was our man and I think he is.
Love his work ethic, determination to learn as much as possible, and trying hard to correct some of his flaws with his mechanics you just don't see most young QB's (Eli mainly). His hard work will payoff and show the world he is going to be a top QB.

Monk4theHall81

The success of the franchise hinges on his ability to become a top-tier QB. If he can do what everyone thinks he can. He alone can make us a great team for the next 10 years.

I wouldnt worry about it too much, boys. Skins fans are the only ones paying attention to these type of articles. Campbell will remain well below the radar until this teams record has many more check marks under the W column than the L column.

That, you can take to the bank.

Okay, I buy that logic. I don't think Brunell held up JC's development, but okay. I think the problem was that JC wasn't making the necessary adjustments the coaches wanted him to make in his delivery before throwing him out there. That's why I'm encouraged by what I've heard so far. I like the fact that JC is willing to learn, adjust, and put in the necessary time. And that this year, they are talking about his progress, and not lack thereof.

from this pic, it doesn't look like his mechanics have changed.......i'm just sayin. :silly:

lol I was thinking the same thing. The windmill release is still there. Oh well, I'm more excited to think that he'll be more accurate and comfortable with the offense. If it works, it works.

I have to remain cautiously optomistic. Although, I didn't need to see this article to feel good about Campbell. He represented himself quite well last season, especially considering that he had ZERO reps with the starting offense. I've always felt that all he needed was time to develop a relationship with his receivers. And the fact that he doesn't have to learn a new offense, once again, can only speed up his progress. I'm not going to expect a probowl performance from Campbell, but I think that he's going to surprise the hell out of a lot of people who are sleeping on him. I'm sure he's going to have a good year and I think that this offense is going to score a lot of points.

Woot! So excited about watching him play this coming season. So ready to put up so major points. Just hope our defense can shut the other teams down!


Actually Our Defense will be better just by not having as many 3 and outs on Offense as we did last year.

the only concerns i had with campbell last year was accuracy, both in timing and just plain misthrows. hopefully he worked that out in the offseason. his mechanics are kinda shabby too, but hey, if the ball gets there and he isn't getting it batted down all the time, i could care less if he looks like jimmy clausen or not.

i like his poise, mobility and arm strength. not to mention instincts, like that playcall against carolina.

i think he's got what it takes. now lets just see if he can actually produce.

I liked this guy as a pick, and i like him now, i think hes got all the intangibles people talk about. I hope he lives up to this hype.

This was the point I tried to make with some guy in a conversation about Campbell. He just has the ability to make things happen. He had this ability at Auburn, and you could see it in several games last season.

With the same scheme from last year, look for a very improved season out of Campbell next year. Pro-Bowl might be a bit too lofty, but I would expect him to lead the 'Skins to at least 8-8 next year, with a winning season a very good possibility.

I followed him at Auburn and I think he is as poised as they come. Everyone said he was a project when we drafted him, well that build time is now about done. It's time to see what he can do. Hopefully things go well and he can refine everything this year and get us set for a Super 2008 run.

Bottom line: the guy does whatever it takes to win. He's got the mental and physical game.

I'm glad everybody is writing us off already because after a few games everybody will be shocked at the development of this kid and the effect it will have on our team's success.

You can't put a price on a franchise, pro-bowl quarterback. When you have got one of those, chances are, everyone else on offense looks like a pro-bowler. If Campbell becomes, which I believe he can, a franchise pro-bowl quarterback, Gibbs move to grab him is going to one of the best draft selections in 05 and in general a steal.

A couple of things that will help Campbell

4 out of the 5 on a very good o-line returning. I think Wade will fill in just fine

Year 2 in this offense. Nobody even knows how much this has to help the guy. His entire career since the start of college he has changed O coordinators each year. The fact that he has the same offense for a 2nd straight year is huge. This guy can now focus on other things to improve his game

His pocket presence. Some of the best I have ever seen when he was in college

He impressed the hell out of me last year, articularly his poise and ability to maneuver in the pocket. If he's 'light-years' better now look out NFL.

I'm looking forward to this season because I saw what Jason Campbell is capable of doing at the end of last season.

A CAMPBELL SPECIAL

At this time of year, during organized team activities, many players are said to look good.

But Washington quarterback Jason Campbell is said to look especially good.

After two years in the league as an understudy, and four hours each day this winter and spring in Washington's training facility simply studying, Campbell is said to look like a different quarterback, Redskins officials said this week.
