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.

    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
