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.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
