I say this is nonsense, let's put it to the voters. I think JC sucks as a quarterback, but I think he's a great guy and was a great teammate with a good attitude.

I think he is a good QB who played on some really bad teams. I think that he's now gone to a worse team but they do have a better line than us I think this year - but that's to be determined.

I think that it's pretty much classless for people to get on here and just totally trash the guy based off nothing but their opinion. As a player who was in the lockerroom, in the meetings, etc - something we were not a part of - and he never said anything. He didn't throw anyone under the bus. That is class and I think some on this site need to use a little.

Good guy but absolutely sucks as a qb.

In 2005, the Redskins had NO business drafting a QB in the first round. You have to build a team around them first before you can add a QB. The team was a mess with no weapons at WR and a sub-par line in 2004. They also had turmoil in the front office and coaching staff. We never had a plan in place, and when you draft a QB you need to make sure the offense is tailored around them, and not the other way around.

Simply put, we never put Jason Campbell in a position to succeed. I'm a big believer in the idea that a lot of players have talent, but it's not always achieved. If Jason Campbell had been drafted by the Patriots, or the Colts, or the Saints... he may have found a niche in the NFL and made a lot more of his potential.

Personally, he seems like a great guy, teammates love him, he's 100% committed to the organization and he's a quiet leader. Even though the Raiders are a mess right now, I hope Jason Campbell can salvage his career there. Paul Hackett (QB coach) and Hue Jackson (OC) are really good offensive football guys and the Raiders will want to take advantage of JC's big arm.

Bruce Campbell could become an elite LT, Robert Gallery is a decent LT, Samson Satele is a good C, Cooper Carlisle is a solid veteran player and Langston Walker holds down the right tackle slot. That's a solid line... combine that with the fact they have Run DMC/Michael Bush to run, and some dangerous weapons in the receiving game... I think this is going to be JC's best season yet.

I picked sucks at QB, but good guy because that is closer to my feelings than any other option. I don't feel like he sucks at QB, though, only that he is mediocre.

If there were an option for "Good" quarterback, I would have chosen that. I picked option 1.

In reality he is a good quarterback who could have been better if our organization was not in-flux for the entire time he's been here.

Hopefully going to Oakland gives him the confidence to take control of the team and lead more vocally.

They will hail him as their savior since they've been forced to deal with the bust known as Jamarcus.

Can somebody start a thread titled "The last word on Campbell" and it be THE END to talking about this guy... He gone.

And that's 1000 for me folks. I learned a lot during my first 999 posts, but I am now focused on moving to the next level as I make my way to 2,000. I have a number of goals such as cutting down the run-on sentences, spelling, and improving the overall quality of each post. Thanks for everything,

The few times I got to see him play live on TV I was amazed at how much the commentators criticised him, far more than any other QB. I think he was slow , perception-wise and that probably contributed to the high number of sacks. Its difficult to know how good he was as a lot of his stats were padded, during the game when the result was in doubt, he did little to impress, I cant recall him ever leading us back from behind and in the 2 games against the Eagles it was easy to tell which was the better QB, it wasnt JC. He threw few interceptions, but its hard to throw an interception when most of your passes are for completions behind the line of scrimage.

he hasnt got much competition at the Raiders, I dont think we need worry about him coming back to haunt us. A 4th round was probbly about right, not as good a deal as the last time we traded a QB to the raiders.

We traded up to get him, it was probably Coach JG's worse draft decision.

Here is an interesting video of Charlie Casserly breaking down JC's game...
