If Campbell were to get released ...

[silverbear]

If Campbell were to get released by the Commanders new coach would it be worth signing him to a backup spot ? Would he get looks from other teams. If you check out his stats they pretty decent. Kitna is old and hasn't thrown a ball in forever and was basically an insurance policy this year. What are your thoughts ?

Not only no, but hell no...

Campbell has gotten to a point where the only thing he can do is dump the ball off... the Skins took the wraps off of him to a certain extent this year, and suddenly he started chucking up the ints (which he did very rarely early in his career)... so by season's end, he was back to throwing mostly dump stuff... I even said before the Skins-Cowboys game in Washington that all the Boys needed to do was practice defending the screen pass...

When the Skins had a long gain on a pass play this season, it seemed like it was almost always a short pass that the receiver turned into a big gain...

Another big negative is the frequency with which he fumbles when sacked... he simply turns the ball over WAY too often...

I'll pass on Campbell... I'd rather see how McGee develops...

Campbell is in the wrong offense. I would consider signing Campbell. He's young, he's mobile, he has a good arm and he understands how to take care of the ball. His problem, IMO, is that he's playing in a bad offense and he has had no consistancy in any offense since he's entered the NFL. If you just ask him to manage a game and don't make mistakes, he can do that. If you ask him to go out and win games for you, he can't do that. At least, not yet. I would give him a look if we needed a backup.
