Redskins will trade Jason Campbell for a "low pick" during the draft?

As much as you guys hated how the FO put all their eggs in one basket with Jake, they are apparently going to do the same with Matt. As the article stated, the FO doesn't want Matt looking over his shoulder and the very reason they got rid of Jake. In other words, we may bring in a veteran QB, just not one capable of overtaking Moore as the starter, leaving Campbell out of the equation.

The whole "no competition" thing gets misapplied with Delhomme.

Work ethic was never the problem. He worked as hard as he could, regardless of whether anyone was behind him or not.

The notion that someone behind him would have made a difference just doesn't hold water.

Would it help Moore? Don't know. It's not a given.

Wasn't Fox reluctant to put Moore in because of low work ethic? I don't know, I just don't see how having a solid back up option is a bad idea.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
