Clayton: Campbell Wants Carolina, Does Carolina Want Him?

[TylerDurden]

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.

Still standing by that we should only get him if he is released to free agency. Would not be happy if we gave picks for him.

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

[Acewalker]

Yeah I just saw that on Espn too, I 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.

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

A) Has the best offensive line

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.)

/me waits in anticipation of further gloat...

He wants to steal Moores job. Right now that would not be a great idea for us - too many leaders are gone. We need someone to compliment him and be able to run the show if disaster occurs.

[Mesmer]

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.

[Delhommey]

The only issue is a 5th makes the most sense and we don't have one. Maybe a 7th and a back up O lineman like Schwartz?

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...

[Mesmer]

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.

[The Saltman]

I would trade for him. what happens if moore bombs? who the hell are we going to rely on Cantwell? , Tony Pike?? :rofl:.

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

[TylerDurden]

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.
