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

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.

I didn't think it was work ethic, I thought it was more about Matt's demeanor - he didn't show the competitive fire Jake did.

FWIW, I don't remember Joe Cool thumping his chest very much... I just remember him going out there and slitting the defenses throat like it was another day at the office.

At this point, I would rate Campbell higher than Bulger or McCown and there's a good chance that he's a much better QB than anyone we could draft in the 6th or 7th round.

On overall athletic ability, he might be better than Bulger, but Bulger's got a much better resume' and fits in more with what we really need (a solid backup). Campbell wants a starting opporunity. We don't have that to offer. As to McCown, he doesn't have the resume' of Bulger, but his athleticism is equal to Campbell, he knows the system and doesn't cost us picks.

Bottom line for me: I'd rather not go the "reclamation project" route again. I'd much rather have a guy who's had some past success and is happy to work as a backup now. Or to put it another way, I'd rather have a new Rodney Peete than a new David Carr.

I am all for the Panthers trading a late round pick for Campbell. First, I do not place him in the same category as David Carr, who was more damaged goods in my opinion. Second, I do not want to end up having another lost season because this team only has one starting caliber QB on the roster. Third, I think Campbell has more upside and is better then any of the older veterans that out there.

    • I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.
    • Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.
    • Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
