Rising To The Elite

Cadmar BluntDec 25, 2009

If the Redskins let Jason Campbell go, he will become one of the most important free agents in the offseason. At 6-5, 230 he is only going to be 28yrs and his quarterback skills and toughness have grown. If you look at his numbers, he is close with the elite quarterbacks of the league despite the fact that he has had multiple coaches and coordinators; his numbers have improved every year. Yes, he does have a good number of interceptions but he has had a bad receiving core almost every year and his team has been in the top ten for drops for the last 3yrs. He is completing 64% of his passes and averages 7.4 yards per pass with 18TD. His offensive line has allowed the 4^th most number of sacks this year and we all saw the beating he took on Monday Night Football against the Giants. He has played very well despite all of the dysfunction going on around him. If he can get to a solid team that has some good talent and knows who their head coach is, he is going to lead them to a Super Blow.
