You people don’t know shit. You have no idea how this season is going to pan out. Last year means absolutely nothing. That’s one reason why it’s the best sport on this planet. It comes down to being healthy and getting hot at the right time. None of us are in the locker room so we have no idea what goes on week in and week out. Hail bitches!

I think I’m going to the Pro Bowl too…i think I can, I think I can, I think I can….because I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and gosh darn it people like me.

He actually said all that without bringing up his broken leg….I don’t buy it…this has to be made up.

“Lets not forget that Tony Romo went to the Pro Bowl. Twice.”
Yeah. And? Jason Campbell has 35 career TD passes. Romo threw 36 in 2007 alone. Since he became a starter, Romo’s never thrown fewer than 19 TD passes, and that was in 11 starts (2006). Campbell has never thrown more than 13 TD passes in a season, no matter how many games he played.

campbell isnt even the best qb on the skins. maybe not even 2nd best.
at this point he is a veteran. he is sposed to be able to take the best of all he has learned from multiple systems and use that to be a better qb.
he sure didnt do that from week 10 on last year.
lets look at the sked.
weeks 1-4: @nyg, STL, @det, tb. IF, and it’s a big if, they beat the nyg… i could see 4-0. 3-1 more likely even so. i think they will have issues in the dome this time.
lets say 3-1.
weeks 5-9: @car, KC, PHI, @atl. 2-2 at best. they will take KC at home.
lets say 5-3.
weeks 10-13: DEN, @dal, @phi, NO. 2-2 at best.
lets say 7-5.
weeks 14-17: @oak, DAL, NYG, @sd. 1-3. losing out last 3 weeks. u heard that right.
8-8.
so, it wont be as bad as the 07 lions collapsing from 6-2 to 7-9… or the 05/06 falcons. but they arent going anywhere with the mouthreader at qb.
as an aside the skins went 6-2 against ttheir 1st 8 opponennts in 08, who went 54-73-1, including detroit and st. loo.
they went 2- 6 against the last 8 opponents who went 71-57 all year.

Theismann’s absolutely right — it wouldn’t surprise me one bit. People forget how well he played the first half of 2008 before the Redskins fell apart. And, really, how great do you have to be to make the NFC squad?
As for the Cutler/Sanchez stuff, Campbell has acted like a man and taken it as motivation to prove people wrong. Personally, I’ll take an athlete who works hard and has a chip on his shoulder over a diva any day.

Pro Bowls mean squat. Ask Donnie Mac.
Washington will start out good as usual and then by game 6 or 7 they will start that long drawn out fade with the pundits saying how they can turn it around if this guys does that or that guy does this.

Why do people keep saying this is the first time JC’s been in the same offense 2 seasons in a row? Wow, such short memories! He had Saunders two years in a row and he showed no improvement in year 2. He’s entering his 5th year, and his coordinators have been Gibbs, Saunders, Saunders, Zorn, and now Zorn again.
I like JC, but I don’t believe he’s our long term solution. I don’t know if Colt is that solution, but I’d like to see him against first team players during the preseason to get an idea.

“if they find a way to upset the Giants on the road in Week One, the ‘Skins could reel off four straight wins”
Isn’t this the same as saying, “if Pigs fly, then Elephants are sure to follow?”

I think Campbell is better than a lot of people think, too, but the guy has no team around him, an inexperienced coach, and an owner who is arguably in the bottom third of the league. I actually feel bad for the guy.

Campbell will be about the same as he was last year, it’s Zorn’s offense that is the problem along with the fact that both the offensive and defensive lines are too old. Obviously the defensive line is better with Haynesworth provided he stays healthy, but no upgrade upfront on the offensive side. The team is good enough to possibly contend for a wild card but that’s about it.

I agree with Joe that Campbell finally has a chance to imporve, but that doesn’t mean I still don’t think he’s a moron after his MNF stint.
I disagree that Jason’s on his way to the Pro Bowl. In fact, I’d bet he never makes it for the rest of his career.

While I would love to eat this up and believe this will happen, I will remain skeptically optimistic.
Joey Sunshine points out one important aspect. This is probably the first time Campbell will be in the same offense 2 years in a row since high school.
The offensive line scares me though. They are one injury (to injury prone players) away from falling apart. And the offensive line is where the offense lives and dies.
Perfect example…the 1991 Skins. Mark Rypien gets sacked 11 times all season…he’s in the pro bowl, and Gibbs gets his third Lombardi.

Florio, get over this “flying under the radar” thing. You are either more talented than the other team or not. Only the Cowboys (even some who have left) have admitted to underestimating their opponents lately.
Straight up, the Redskins are as talented as any team in the division and they do have the easiest flex games but they won’t make the playoffs because no one is gameplanning for them or they feel no pressure to succeed. Let’s not forget the pressure Zorn is under as he was rumored to be replaced soon.

So Joey Sunshine doesn’t believe the Redskins will get to the SuperBowl? The skins will start 8 and 0 and finish 0 and 8.

As a lifetime Redskins fan, I would love to see Jason Campbell have a Pro-Bowl season. However, Campbell has serious problems with making decisions when throwing the ball and I’m concerned that they are never going to improve. As a result, I’m worried about the Redskins offense again this year. I hope he proves me wrong.

This is a real conversation, no link, from my memory, during a Falcon game about 4 years ago:
Mike Patrick (talking about Mike Vick): How good do you think he can be?
Joe Theismann (after a long pause): The best ever. I really do think he can be the greatest player ever. Let me tell you why…
At that point I couldn’t hear what was being said because I was too busy laughing. Not “one of the best ever”, but the best ever all by himself. Theismann has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to football.

Im personally not a fan of the redskins but when I look at the NFC east I see two teams that I kind of see making a big push and thats the Redskins and the Eagles both the Cowboys and Giants will suffer greatly because of erratic qb play and no receiver to depend upon last season all the redskins had to do was stick with the run and they would have easily ran away with that division and all the Eagles had to do was run more and they would have been better I see the redskins probably winning that division their defense will be to strong for any of those teams they still are not going to beat my chargers though
