Clayton: Campbell Wants Carolina, Does Carolina Want Him?


Proudiddy

Recommended Posts

John Clayton was just on NFL Live and was asked what's going to happen with Jason Campbell. They said Shanahan and Campbell met after the trade and decided mutually that it was best for Campbell to work out on his own and not at the Redskins' facilities and to seek other options (as in trades).

He said Jason Campbell's #1 preference is the Panthers, but he said it's a matter of whether the Panthers will reciprocate the interest... Also mentioned the Raiders and another team, but said Carolina is Campbell's favorite.

Does he have any ties around here? Just curious why he'd want to come here as a top choice.

Out of all the teams that need a quarterback, Carolina:

A) Has the best offensive line

B) Has the best run game

C) Has the best defense

A, B, C combined) Has the best chance to win

I don't think he has any real ties with Carolina, though.(based off his Wiki page, so take it with a grain of salt.)

He's probably ???the best of the castoffs, with Bulger coming in a close 2nd. I just don't want the team to trade picks for a backup.

Im not advocating or rejecting bringing him in. By his is BY FAR ahead of any of the castoff QBs this season. that says more about the talent of the other guys than Campbell though imo. I mean Campbell is no slouch, but you know...

I don't assert things I'm not certain of. I feel he's likely the best. But he could also be terrible with a new team. Bulger, as a veteran who has been very good in the past, may be more reliable as a backup if Moore goes batshit crazy and can't play or something.

have a feeling all these QBs want Carolina because they saw that Jake was terrible last year so they have nothing to follow, but also saw that the running game here can carry a team.

that is my same feeling, seeing how a coaching staff can stand by a f**k up and just let the running game carry us instead of changing qb's, it's any scrub qb's dream

I still think he'd be an awesome fit here... Bulger has NO arm, and I don't think he'd be of much service if Moore isn't what we think he is going to be.

If they'll take the compensatory picks we got, that would be awesome... But, I think the Raiders will pretty much try to outbid anyone in a trade b/c of their lack of talent at the position.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
