Say what you want about JC, Peyton Manning he is not, but if anyone on this team does not deserve a low blow after this season it’s him.. I think that JC may have a better shot to stay on the roster at this point than CP, particularly if character is going to be a commodity again.

not practicing every week but getting into the game because you constantly go over the coaches head. Then you continously fall down before hitting the hole and then blame it on your fullback. Was it a coincidence that the running game improved leaps and bounds without CP being “DA MAN”? I don’t think so.

Thought you had more class than that, Clinton.You never had breakaway speed to begin with and your cut and slash ability has all but disappeared. You can go to whatever team you want but your career is basically over and you will no longer be “DA MAN” anywhere again. Now clean out your locker and get your wanna be gangsta ass outta here.

I’m going to agree with CP on this. For the last however many years I’ve waited for Campbell to step up and show he can take this team and he coudn’t do it. The only time they’ve been in the playoffs with Campbell was when he got hurt and Collins led us there. He doesn’t show any fire, he never makes the big plays, he just seems like he goes through the motion. Big deal if he keeps getting up after getting plowed by the D-Line, he just gets back up to throw another 5 yard out on 3rd and 8, or better yet an INT. Is that what makes him a warrior? I don’t want to hear about the O-line, he’s had decent o-lines in the past, and couldn’t perform then either. Portis always get the brunt cuz he’s outspoken and buddies with Snyder, but he gave 100 percent when he played and there isn’t a better blocking back in the league. I agree Portis should be out there practicing and working harder in the offseason, but Campbell’s been given enough chances, he needs to go backup a pro-bowl veteran QB somewhere and see what it’s like to lead an NFL team. Good luck to Shanahan and the skins in 20101

I cannot believe what I am reading here. None of you can be serious with your hatred towards CP. It’s funny how quick everyone is able to jump up and save a dead in the water QB. ASIDE from being the best O-lineman unofficially, CP was a HELL of a running back used by complete morons (yes even Joe Gibbs). The U ran Portis to the outside, so did Shanahan. Hmmm…if the skins used him correctly, he would still have his break away speed. The reason he’s nothing (yes besides the fact he was used as a power back) is, well quiet honestly, because he never had a QB to scare out 8 guys in the box! Yet, he throws Campbell under the bus when he wants out. He might just want out because his career is, wait for it, OVER. It’s pretty scary going from the Face of the organization, to having your backups take your spot.
Take a couple weekdays off, fake injuries during preseason…whatever. Portis WAS a Redskin through and through. He played with his heart on his sleeve game in and game out. At the end, he was broken down, not at all in his once great form, but then again…who was this season for us?
As for Campbell…
My favorite thing in football is to watch qb’s struggle, because you really see how the great qb’s respond. Favre laughs, Peyton gets frustrated with himself, McNabb blames everyone, but what Campbell does is disturbing… He does nothing. He pulls himself off the turf, sometimes dusts himself off and calmly. Like a laid back stoner, he never is worried or heated. Every other QB, may have that calmness, but they THRIVE for that moment to beat you. Campbell ever shrugs that off. The Reason McNabb is a joke, is because after a big loss, he’ll say that the big play makers didn’t make big plays. I’m still waiting for Campbell and McNabb to realize it comes with the job of QB. I am a U fan, but i did enjoy watching Campbell when he played for Auburn. He was not a leader of that team. I do feel bad for Campbell, but he is not a leader. That isn’t to say that what the Redskin’s have done to is right either…50 systems in the beginning of your career is a terribly confusing thing, one that would definitely effect your confidence. I don’t hate Campbell, nor do I blame him for any lack of success.
I just think Redskin’s Nation should take a moment and not choose sides to this little argument between teammates. The Comments by Portis could have been FAR worse, and I really feel like is a man trying his hardest to get out of a situation that could be embarrassing.

And they are already throwing gas on the corpse……….shut your mouth play football, you don’t get paid to talk. You get paid to score touchdowns which neither are doing on a regular basic. Shanatan and Allen need to release both, instead of have 1 first round pick bundle them and have 3 second or 3 thrid rounders less money more opportunities for success… just a thought but trade the turds.

the superbowl run with the herchel walker trade, everyone thought they were nuts….. They only won 3 out of 4 in the early 90’s. trade everything bring in young hungry studs ready to fire off the line. 6 year max in the playoffs and a threat.

If Shanahan is the coach…this is a week after his press conference.

I’m mostly with Portis on the substance of his comments. Jason is not a leader, shows no fire or passion or confidence in himself or the team. Even last year the players did not seem to respect or have much confidence in him, although they all liked him. As Rick GG said, just taking punishment and getting up does not make one a leader. I saw Jay Cutler take hits and throw an interception, get up furious at himself and everybody, then throw two touchdown passes to give the Bears the win. Look at body language – Jason walks hangdog and disgusted, head down. Portis did not question his character, only his leadership qualities. And he was right, just as he was right in blasting Sellers for missing blocks. As to who to keep, it seems to me that Portis is a lot better running back than Campbell is a quarterback. All that said, Portis should not have said what he said. Maybe the team should discourage players talking a lot on the radio – filling up time with off the cuff comments. They are not politicians and don’t always say what they intend. Look at that epsilon semi-moron John Riggins. Anyway, JC and CP have kissed and made up, so maybe no harm is done.

I think both of them need to go. Jason a quarterback hahahahahahahahahahahaah. Portis is over the hill, I like him but instead of doing the talk, do the walk like you can. You both will be somewhere else next year. I went to the game on OCT 4, 2009 my first game of my life. It was nice but some of the players have to go

to fix the skins snyder needs to stay out the way.. i think he hired mike and bruce to be the same as zorn and cerrato i just have a dirty feeling that he is not going to change and alot of this is just for public eye veiw

if that wont true he would have offered tony dungy and bill polian 50 mill contracts to come or polian and cowher which would be people who know how to say no ala marty schottnimer

and i think we should put moss cooley and portis and maybe our second round pick on the line and try to pick up 2 top ten picks .. i hate portis love cooley and and moss and by no means blame them for our failures but its time to move on

and by that I’m referring to the following quotes;

Portis: ‘Jason couldn’t take control of the huddle’

JC: ‘A leader is someone who is trying to do the right thing and trying to lead by example, and not just [being] about themselves’ & ‘For someone to try to take a shot at me at the end of the season, after they haven’t even been around, only speaks about their character anyways’

Personally I think CP is having a rough time adjusting to the fact that he is now a sub par RB so I think his comments reflect his frustration.

While I repsect the pounding JC has taken this year and his decent performance despite having a horrible OL, that doesn’t mean he takes control the way a QB needs to in key situations.

What we have here is a couple guys on a bad team who are not only struggling with the team issues but also their own performances. Cp is done, stick a fork in him, especially with his attitude (calling out his QB and never practicing). JC hasn’t had much to work with but even so he’s shown he isn’t an elite QB, he’s just mediocre. I imagine if I were in their shoes I’d be frustrated too.

What a healthy Portis is: a very productive NFL running back and often the only productive part of our offense, arguably the best blocking back in the league, the workhorse of the Redskins offense. Yes he is sometimes too ostentatious; Yes his comments about Campbell are uncalled for and damaging for the continuity of the organization, but currently there is not much.
What Campbell is: a very average NFL qb, rarely terrible, and rarely very good, he is consistently average, he is tough and committed, and an outstanding person off the field.
Portis is not and should not be the offensive leader. He is a running back, he touches the ball 15-25 times a game. He knows he is not the leader. He knows Campbell should be the leader. He simply points out that Campbell has not been a successful leader for the team, and with this I agree.
When asked about leadership, Brett Favre said, "It’s somehow getting 52 other guys to raise their level of play. To get them to believe in what we’re trying to do." He has clearly done this with the Vikings. Now its absurd to think Jason Campbell can be Brett Favre, but he has clearly raised no one’s level of play, and I would argue the offense has very little faith in what they can do right now. For the Redskins offense to be productive once again, two things need to happen first the line needs to improve, and second Jason Campbell needs to become the leader Portis points out he is not. He shows no enthusiasm for the game. Campbell doesn’t run the offense he is merely a part of it. Portis is right Campbell has not taken control.
