box0life Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 If we go out and trade for Jason Campbell, we doom this team for years to come. The only way I take him is if he is a free agent. I'm sick to my stomach thinking about Gailey trading for him to be our starter. The guy sucks. He is why the Redskins have sucked for years. Please don't do this. I'd rather take my chances on developing Brohm and staying with Edwards then getting Campbell.

Tortured Soul Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Jason Campbell is a restricted free agent, and his rights can be traded.

I'd rather take my chances on developing Brohm and staying with Edwards then getting Campbell. Jason Campbell is better than anything we got right now. If he was available for a reasonable price (3rd rd) I would take him in a hearbeat. If the Bills ever got him they would need to design the offense for him. He is not a west coaste type of qb; he is the type to throw the ball down the field. The Skins stupidly did what the Bills did last year. They didn't address the OL to begin the season and to make matters worse they didn't dedicate any meaningful resources for depth on the OL. They did what we did and the results were just as disasterous. If you can put together a quality line in front of him Jason Campbell can make plays. If the OL is not addressed (upgraded) then it doesn't matter who the qb is.

I agree with you on Brohm, campbell has been unsuccesful and he has been surrounded by better players than what we have here I see no Upside to bringing him in

freeagentqb Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Lets get him. Then we can call him Soupy......Or the throwing tomato....

If the OL is not addressed (upgraded) then it doesn't matter who the qb is. The fact of the matter is that Campbell's OL was decent his first 2 years as a starter. Campbell is Rob Johnson. He would be a solid back up. He has had to many chances to be a productive starter. It just not happening. He doesn't see the receivers or have a pocket presence (you can appreciate this more when you actually go the games). Takes him to long to grasp the offense and read defenses. His fans argue that they have had different offense while he was there and he needs more time under a consistant offense. Mean while Sanchez, Flacco, Ryan, and maybe Stafford to a point have no problem learning their offenses in a year. Never has been a winner in DC. No more than a sixth round for this guy.
ChanOverChin Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Campbell is certainly better than any QB we have now on the roster, except for maybe Brohm, who still needs a chance to show what he can do. I would be open to trading for Campbell, but that would be very much dependent upon the price. I would consider a R3 or R4 for him, but nothing more. If we were to acquire Campbell, we would then have the following QBs to compete for the starting QB spot: Campbell Edwards Fitzpatrick Brohm. Brohm would certainly still be given a chance to compete for the starting QB spot so what could it hurt to bring in Campbell?? While the Bills do need a better option at the starting QB spot, they also need to fill (maybe even more so) the all-important starting LT spot. That's why we can't afford to trade out of R1 or select a QB in R1 without selecting a LT in R1.

Every year Jason Campbell has had a different OC and scheme during his college career and pro career. Campbell is certainly not suited to be a west coast type of qb. He is a downfield passer. There is no doubt that dealing with complex reads is not his strong suit. There is a simple to solution to that, simplify the offense to a play action type offense. Terry Bradshaw has admitted that that he was stumped when dealing with the complexity of the offense and defenses, but he was very effective because his offense emphaized throwing the ball down field as opposed to rhythm west coast passes. Bradshaw has recounted how he would constantly be in conflict with the HC, Chuck Nolls, because he was a stickler for details. That wasn't Terry's style. The successful coaches know that it is their responsibility to adapt their system to the strengths of the players and not try to adapt the player to the system. Jason Campbell is never going to be a Montana, Brady or Peyton Manning in that they can make the instant read of the defenses and then counter with the correct play. Without a doubt that cerebral style of performance is not something he can handle. But in the right system and with a credible OL in front of him he can be successful.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Campbell is Rob Johnson. or a variant of any other awesome Bills QB whose last name was Hobert, Losman, Edwards, Manucci, Darragh, Rutkowski, Mathison, Kofler, Dufek... Mmmm Mmmm BAD!

Are we going to choose a different player at random everyday to say we don't want the Bills to get them?
Red Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Signing Jason Campbell would give me reason to suddenly re-think my ideas of renewing my NFL Sunday Ticket this Fall despite Guy being gone, Nix promoted, Whaley's hiring, and the coaching moves.
a player to be named later Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 He plays in one of the harder (more competitive divisions in football) and has put up respectable numbers with bad teams and more offensive coordinators than we have gone through. I think he is a legit starter in this league especially after the number he put up and the locke room distractions that he had to go through. He is a stand up guy that puts up numbers against hard teams.
