LOL... it's hard, always being right...

Apparently, the folks at the Washington Post have recently figured all this out too... what follows is a post I made earlier today, on another board:

In an article today in the Post, titled "Pressure Situation", written by Skins beat writer Jason LaCanfora, there appears a devastating indictment of Campbell's play late in games... what follows are some excerpts, with the especially damning parts in bold font:

Campbell is still trying to take command in the waning stages of games. This season he has been a part of 10 drives that either carried into the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter, or began after it. He is completing just 49 percent of those passes -- he is completing 60 percent of his attempts overall -- with no touchdowns, two interceptions and a poor 45.6 rating.

Campbell threw a touchdown pass to tight end Todd Yoder in his first NFL start in 2006 -- cutting a 10-point deficit to three in defeat -- but has not thrown a touchdown inside the final two minutes of the fourth quarter since. During games decided by seven points or fewer -- a regularity for Washington -- Campbell has tossed five touchdown passes and nine interceptions, and the more times the Commanders have asked Campbell to throw, the more error-prone he has been. He has a 82.8 passer rating on pass attempts one through 30, but after that his rating drops to 52.8.

That last bit refers to my favorite stat, that the Skins are 0-10 in games in which Jason Campbell has thrown more than 30 passes... that rating suggests a big part of the reason why that might be... it also suggests that while it's fair to ridicule Gibbs for the coaching job he's done this year, he's been right to use the conservative game plans he used prior to the Cowboys game, those game plans that have so infuriated Skins fans...

I got a kick out of the fan in that ES thread you cited who said he had a bet of some kind with a friend, that Campbell would lead the Skins on a game-winning drive some time this season... since Campbell's season apparently ended tonight, that guy has lost that bet...

I was also amused by those fans already calling for the Skins to draft Colt Brennan...
