mmford10…You say “we have seen his potential.” Have we? Please cite examples…Because I’d like to be swayed over to the pro JC experiment, but haven’t seen the potential, and can’t remember any examples of the “great arm” either.

I admit colt isn’t the answer, and Brett wouldn’t help us in the long run, but Jason hasn’t shown statistically or based on his own record that he is an NFL caliber quarterback, that the Redskins can rely on. Our team is growing too old to fast to “wait another year” and find out if he can or can’t…based on early projections…he can’t. Plain and simple.

and have said so previously. Jason has this next year to prove that he can hack it, and if he flubs, he’s out and the redskins are on the qb hunt once again.

Another way to analyze this one is to figure that JC has at least as much if not more potential than Rogers at this point in their careers (if for no other reason than Rogers is less proven). If GB wants to go with the unproven Rogers over Farve, would it make sense for the skins to go for Farve over JC? Not in my opinion. Especially for a high price tag (I consider a 3rd “high” for this deal, at least when compounded by the other costs).

Additionally, I seem to remember all sorts of commotion at the beginning of last year saying that Farve was washed up, that he was holding the team hostage by not retiring etc… Farve was outstanding last year, but that doesn’t mean that he will be again this coming year in a new uniform under a new offense with new players etc etc…. Farve’s a great qb and a great man, but his production goes through peaks and troughs. If he wants his last two years to be good ones, his best bet is to remain in GB.

As a note: Because Farve’s salary will count if he comes out of retirement, GB pretty much will have to play him (unless they want 12M of their cap going to a second string qb).

More specifically:

If the Packers agree to trade Favre to any team, the quarterback can veto the deal simply by declining to report. Then Favre’s rights would revert back to Green Bay, which would be forced to take him back along with his $12 million base salary—or release him.

Bottom Line:

Basically, if Favre unretires he gets to play where he wants.

Farve should stay in GB.

afford favre this year? he would count against this year for us right? And we don’t have much cap room right? I’m not good with the salary cap and what not but i didn’t think we had $12 mill of room, and trading a draft pick doesnt solve that problem. Also, you know the “genius” front office will give up way too much in a trade, like they almost did for 85, so it wouldn’t be worth it in the end.

I wanted to do so anyway before I forgot.

That’s Campbell’s ESPN page. Philly, Dallas, Tampa, etc were all good games. It took him a while to get going, but he had a decent season. He had a few bad INT’s and fumbles, but those numbers are enough to show potential. His first game, remember, he threw two touchdowns! Look at his numbers from 2006. He closed that season admirably—including great games at New Orleans and NYG.

Exhibit A?

Everyone needs to keep in mind that Campbell played behind an offensive line that had lost two starters. Besides that, he showed several flashes of brilliance and while he made several mistakes it was often the result of him trying to force things (see dallas game). Mistakes like those can hopefully be decreased with more experience.
