Jason Campbell: As Good As Gone from the Washington Redskins

How would Snyder respond to Campbell's trying to land another job? It doesn't really matter. Like there is anything that could happen that would make Snyder want another QB any more than he does already? 

Also, at what point has Snyder, Cerrato, or anyone else from the Redskins come out and said that Jason Campbell will be their QB in 2009? You won't find it, because they haven't said it.

The public relations missives sent out by the Redskins on Friday simply acknowledged trying to acquire Cutler and having a productive meeting with Campbell and "moving forward."

No public statements indicating or implying any support for or commitment to Campbell were made; quite the contrary they were conspicuous by their absence. Campbell claims that in the face to face meeting with Snyder, Snyder told him that he was not a franchise QB, and that he wants Campbell to become one.

1) The main thing is that Snyder and Cerrato refuse to publicly address their level of support for their starting QB that is still under contract to them even after failing to trade him.

2) Just because Snyder wants Campbell to become a franchise QB—and who doesn't want Campbell to be a franchise QB?—means that he wants to wait any longer for Campbell to become WASHINGTON'S franchise QB, and he proved that by being willing to use the picks that could have been used to build a better team around Campbell and give them up for Cutler.  

Now of course, Snyder is certainly willing to allow Campbell to play out his last season, and if he plays well, give him a contract extension. But that will only happen if the Redskins fail to land Stafford or Sanchez in the draft.

If Campbell doesn't realize this, someone had better tell him, starting with his agent. Not that Campbell should try to force a trade, but rather he had better do his best to make sure that there is a place for him to go start when the Redskins draft Mark Sanchez.

And as for the Redskins fans, especially the Campbell bashers—who are not 100 percent without justification—get ready for Mark Sanchez to be your new QB.
