I think the Redskins should just keep JC and draft a bunch of offensive linemen. Maybe trade Portis and Landry. JC will likely leave DC, but I think the REdskins should keep him.

I say, give Jason a two-year contract while the team rebuilds the o-line and the back field. Losing Jason would be like losing Rich Ganon all over again.

yeah, right.

@fxtrader92 i think he could with the right tools around himd i mean hes a good quaterback could be great but he just needs the right people and managment arond

[fxtrader92]

@bigashy77 I grade him a C+ - he'll win some games for you but he'll never lead you to the promised land.

@fxtrader92 hey he's doing better than mcnabb

As a Raiders fan, I wish the Redskins had just kept Campbell. With all due respect to Riggins' opinion, he's dead wrong on this one.

Campbell is a terrible leader and players don't play hard for him.

We'll trade him back to you for a soda pop or 2.

I feel like he has no pocket presence and can't handle pressure very well at all. I would agree that he has an arm, but he doesn't have the awareness or the accuracy to make the short and midrange passes. I've heard that if he had a great crop of receivers and a strong line he would be great, but so would any other QB. He's been in the NFL for 4 years now when is he gonna stop being a rookie?

@hollywoodpurplehaze for a 2nd round pick

campbell to panthers i hate it but don't be surprised

I used to criticize Campbell until I started listening to his interviews on 106.7 after the Monday night loss to the Eagles. If anything he's got a lot of heart and has the makings of a pro bowl QB at the very least. The restricted free agents available next year are the bottom of the barrel and there's no doubt that other franchises have had their eyes on J.C. for the past few years. I bet if he goes to a more stable franchise (maybe the Niners) you'll see what Campbell is really capable of.

Thank you Riggo. Finally someone of authority says good things about Jason. He is a MAN that leads by example. JC is someone everyone can look up to and I'm glad his play is meriting some positive recognition. I just hope the Redskins realize what they really have.
