Scared to Death
What will happen when Jason Campbell is finally healthy?
Will he go on to lead the skins to a Super Bowl victory, consequently earning a sponsorship deal to do commercials for Campbell's chunky soup? No, he won't. He will run the boat ashore, or into a reef. I was concerned when he wasn't placed on IR, I'm even more concerned that after our 30-22 victory over the 'boys this week, removing Collins would surely be folly. Suddenly, I'm expecting the skins to win a game or two in the playoffs. the roster says we are more than capable, the play calling is improved...dare I say we are a contender?

What happened to...
That being said, I would sit JC until he is 100% healthy, even if it means sitting him an extra week. There is no need to rush him back and expose the knee to another injury.
At the time JC went down, this team wasn't playing like it is now. The defense wasn't hitting like they are now. The offense wasn't running the ball like they are now. To answer your quesion, the way they're playing now, yes the Skins are contenders.
You gotta make the dance, then anything can happen.
I don't even think he'll play
The unfortunate part about our potential playoff hopes is this: we have to play every single game on the road. This team has been playing every single week since week 3 and has got to be feeling tired, not to mention banged up (but recent injuries to what, half our starters have validated that for everyone).
Since the only way we get in the playoffs is as a #6 seed, we would need to go through Seattle, then Dallas, then Green Bay, if we manage to get in the playoffs and stay afloat for some of it. I think we have the coaching, finally, and we definitely have the defense. We are the most dangerous team in the NFL right now, and I think we will beat Dallas and would certainly have a shot if we make it to Seattle.
Back to my original point, though. We need a guy like Collins, who is so steady and has made hardly any mistakes with the football, to lead us in the playoffs. We finally look like a true Joe Gibbs team -- a QB who isn't necessarily a great one, but certainly one who is smart, a franchise RB carrying the fate of the team, a strong, resilient offensive line and an aggressive defense that keeps us in the game and forces turnovers. That is a Joe Gibbs team, and a winning team. I think if we continue to play at the level we played in Minnesota and New York, we could go farther than people would have ever thought.
If
Dude
The Pats
Nonetheless, Campbell can play all he wants NEXT YEAR. the offense has played better because they have an on-field coach on offense for the first time in a long time. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
This is a game of win now...what have you done for me lately? Lately, JC threw game-ending interceptions until he was mercifully injured. Now, we can contend with any NFC team (such as that is). The defense is more aggressive and playing top-tier right now, but if the team falls behind early, then there is a high chance they will revert to a conservative cover 2. Our front four is over-acheiving right now, but with an extra linebacker charging in, turnovers are bound to be forced.
No one is holding their breath when Collins drop back to pass...if I want suspense, I can watch soap operas with the Old Lady.
Thank you, Mr. Collins. 30-21 over the boys, yeeee-haaaaw!
This is a tough question
If there is any question about how Jason feels, you sit him. Todd Collins is playing well enough now and has won enough must win games (on the road) to earn the spot until it is absolutely time to return to Campbell.
Jasons not ready
