Gushing over Jason Campbell
Jennifer Floyd Engel alerts us to this article by Mike Wise of the Washington Post.
Wise says the Skins have found their guy for next decade.
This was not just a coming-out party for Campbell, who, if not for the most famous receiver in football, would have out-Romoed his counterpart for the Cowboys; this was a sign of great things to come.
Campbell looked okay. But he and his 80 passer rating won’t out-Romo Romo on his best day.
Anybody watching this game came away with two, instant thoughts: Campbell held his own against a soon-to-be Pro Bowl quarterback, even looked better than Romo at times. And, who’s got T.O.?
Who’s got T.O., yeah. Not so much the other part.
Tony Romo is the NFL’s It Guy today, but remember 10 months ago in Seattle? He was the boneheaded kid who couldn’t get the snap down and then scrambled nowhere to throw away the Cowboys’ season.
Romo was in the Pro Bowl after 10 games. Jason Campbell stepped into the lineup about the same time as Romo and I don’t remember him in Hawaii.
Look, Campbell might be pretty good. But he didn’t even win the game. Most QBs can throw for 300 yards when they put it up over 50 times.
And JFE also has this to say on her blog:
Is anybody else having a case of deja vu watching this Redskins team? I keep feeling like I saw all of this before, a year ago, and two years ago, with Big Bill and his Cowboys. He dreamed of winning every game 10-7 and relied almost too heavily on his defense.
You are correct ma’am. I believe stuck in the 80s is the term many people use.
