Make any sense?
Campbell is clearly a good Quarterback, but right from his first days as a pro he was forced to re-learn the playbook on a yearly basis due to the incredibly rapid and disruptive turnover of coaching staff in the capital. He was never able to settle and mature in an offensive system that was not built for him, but for the team.
McNabb has enough experience and self-confidence to walk into a west-coast set-up and get on with the job. The offense will be tailored around the seasoned pro in a way that the staff never felt comfortable to do with Campbell, who will suit up in Black and Silver this year as unquestioned starter of the Oakland Raiders.
The moves made by Washington this offseason really highlight the imperativeness of hiring the correct personnel in the NFL. Campbell is a great player, but he didn’t fit. And so he had to go.
The same could be said of Brady Quinn, but as time goes on it is looking like the only thing that Quinn might not fit with may be the NFL.
I wonder if the redskins can do anything this year? I see them as an impressive 9-7 team, winning a few they didn’t deserve and losing a few by the same token. I still think they will finish bottom in a divisison I predict to feature four positive records.
Give them a year and we may see an aging McNabb make a dying push for that elusive ring a la Favre and Elway, who both wanted to go out on a high. He deserves it and so do the fans of the Redskins.
The season kicks off on the 9th of September. Buckle-up: it’s gonna be one hell of a ride…
