Where is JC going to end up next year?

by word2bigbird on Oct 21, 2009 7:02 PM EDT

Since it is plainly obvious that Jason Campbell will not end up remaining with the Skins following this year, I wanted to look at the places he might end up.

Also on a side note: The whole Jay Cutler trade came down to the Broncos wanting Orton over JC. Orton has better numbers than Cutler (100+ passer rating compared to 86). There was a general consensus that JC was a better QB than Orton (he possessed more skill, athleticism, and decision making (Orton was a turnover machine in Chicago)). Think about how well JC might be doing in Denver right. Just a side.

Now back to business.

1. San Francisco - I really hope JC ends up here. This is how a organization is supposed to be run. They did not cave into Crabtree. Singletary has the reigns to coach the team. Davis has straightened out is become a dominant TE. The only missing piece is a QB. With Sean Hill regressing and Alex Hill presumably a bust it seems like the perfect fit with many analyst guessing that that is where he will end up.

2. New England - This is my own hope. It has nothing to do with anything that is going on. Tom Brady has no real back up. He is getting kind of old. But the major reason I want JC to go here is that he will finally be in an organization that epitomizes excellence. He will learn so much from Brady in terms of decision making and leadership. Belichick will definitely be a major influence on him too.

3. Carolina - Jake Delhomme is old. Ancient. He turns the ball over like its his job. Also, people are assuming this is Cowher's choice of his next coaching position. And I would guess that he wants a mobile Big Ben type of QB without giving up a draft pick for one. Also another good situation.

4. Minnesota - I know this is a weird choice for many reasons. First its a west coast system. He did not do that well. Second they have Favre. But hear me out. JC can spend a year as a back up to Favre, and learn the system. Also Tavaris Jackson is a free agent i think, but in any case I think he might be out of Minnesota after this year.

5. Oakland - Jamarcus might be a bust. But I doubt JC will put himself in a situation with another dysfunctional franchise.

6. St. Louis - Do they have a QB? I do not know much about this. Doubt it.

7. Miami - Maybe?

8. Buffalo - No?

As you can see I got tired of writing, so tell me your opinion of where he would end up. I think its going to be San Fran but it would be interesting to see him go to New England.

Carolina

would probably be the best fit. They have a solid and versitile run game, a couple of decent receivers, and when healthy, a pretty solid offensive line. Lots of run to set up the deep ball. Plus he can get around a little bit.

They have one above decent reciever, a couple of ish TE's,

and 2 RB’s- that’s good but Steve smith is regressing to the mean with Jake Delhomme throwing only can hope (or not) John Fox understands this.

What will Snyder do if a Cowher or Shanahan says I will take the job and I see JC as my QB

Imagine a near repeat of the Zorn hiring debacle where every qualified major candidate turns down the job, except with a twist, this time one of the big guns says yes but on the Proviso all Football decisions are his and says he sees JC as his QB, would Snyder go for another Zorn just to prove he knows best and jettison JC rather than take a Superbowl Winning Coach who makes his own decisions

Another related issue...

sticking with Jason saves a high round draft pick and cap money from signing a QB in the first round or so. Under this scenario, better let JC stay, get better and fight it out with Colt or a draft pick in the second year of the second coming of Jesus Christ HC. The only coach who can save this franchise at the moment. LOL

Looking at Jacksonville

They drafted two first round tackles in 2009. The immediate impact of these players hasn’t produced a great turn around. I’m not knocking this kind of move, but just pointing out that it will take a few seasons.
Also looking at the 2009 draft, there will be some tackles that slip down in the draft like Meridith (picked up by Buffalo on 9/21 and has now started 1 game) and Murtha (now with Miami). These guys had the best results for tackles in the combines indicating their athleticism. Meredith was thought be some to be a potential 2nd round pick, but went in the 5th round. Similar situations will occur in 2010. Wait until after the cut downs and pick up these kind of players off of the practice squads while not using any Skins draft picks. These guys will make for some line depth over a few years.

Comments on 1-8

1 – Best for Jason if they have a good QB coach for his style

2 – Not sure if JC will ever be the quick decision/release QB like Brady/Mannings, but he might get a SB ring and would definitely be a better work environment then here and many other places.

3 – Most likely scenario for a starting job. Many sacks to come. Not best opportunity.

4 – Minnie better off with TJ, if TJ can learn from Brett.

5 – Poor JC, one nightmare to the next. Unless AD dies and they shore up the line. Can’t believe they have a decent QB coach.

6 – Possibly end up as a back up. Will draft high pick instead for starter. Might start for a year if they want to groom high draft pick.

7 – Not likely. Henne will take them forward. They have P White as backup.

8 – Buffalo is a possiblity since they are small revenue and could pick up JC cheap. But they want someone who will take them to SB. Sorry, not JC without a really good supporting cast.

9- Back up with option to start for either Cleveleand or Cinci (back up only on Cinci)

Not that easy.....

I think it will be a trade or restricted free agent signing…..I see the Skins placing a restricted free agent tender on him…..that means his salary would barely go up….and if anyone else signs him and the Skins don’t match the offer…..they could get one to two picks. You don’t let a starter go for nothing if you can keep him around for a trade for free pretty much!

Minnesota

Campbell will be going to Minnesota. Favre is probably going to call it a career again after he wins the superbowl with Minnesota, and they have absolutely nobody to QB if Favre goes down or retires. Minnesota would do well to pick up Campbell, and with that Offensive Line and Run Game Campbell will thrive and maybe even go to a pro-bowl.
