I hate beating up on my own team week after week, but I can't help it.
Campbell, I'm not a fan at all, never was; I won't hate anymore (until you lose a game for us again). We may not be in the "Hunt for Vick," but we should consider him, I think.
He would make this offense click if he, as Adam Schefter said, "plays at 75 percent, there will be teams interested." He can out-run basically any one person on the field. Vick was one of my favorite players maybe this is why I'm jumping on the bandwagon; or maybe Danny should actually fork out money to a good player.
He did very well in Atlanta with that team who didn't have a RB or a WR. So, Redskins, do us a favor and take all the possible scenarios in and make a good decision. Oh, and he can avoid the ever growing blitz.
Also, this better be a good draft, or I don't even want to think what will happen. As you have seen are defense isn't as deep as we thought. Malcolm may come along but right now the rookies have no impact at all whatsoever.
I haven't seen Sellers run any 2nd-and-short or 3rd-and-short runs. Isn't that what they are used for short runs and lead blocking. I didn't see the Seattle game, but it didn't seem promising.
As a lot of Redskins fans said, Dallas beat San Fran, but yes, who did we beat? A team just as bad, but by not nearly as much. Matter of fact, who have we beat by a lot? I can't remember.
The 15 and 20-yard passes that we had in the beginning have disappeared. They are short, short, and what's that, short again. We are lousy at best and I'm not impressed at all. Portis, you are impressive but you seem to play well and then when a big defense comes around (a.k.a Steelers) you disappear.
I watched the game on NFL.com and I saw some really really lousy backs running all over us. Do I want to even watch the Giants game probably not. Jacobs is going to bulldoze for TDs and first downs.
Without Fletcher and maybe Montgomery, we are in big trouble. Our secondary with all starters and former starters should handle Eli and the pass. Horton, what happened to the interceptions you had. You haven't had a big impact in pass defense, but you have been dominating against the run.
My final thoughts will come out after the game, but I hope this shows the problems and how we could fix them.

Not only do you not support your argument that Vick will improve the team, you swiftly bash the rest of the team with no evidence or support. And the numerous spelling and grammatical errors make it hard to read.
Poorly written article.

Ok Travis, as I've said before, you need to be patient with JC, new offense, new coaches on offense. Time will make them better, especially JC.
Don't want Vick, don't want to even consider for ONE F'IN' minute he could be a Redskin!
The run D is a concern right now, Montgomery's loss has been a much bigger deal than anyone would have thought. But I don't think there is a problem with the D in as much as the simple fact that JC and Zorn need to keep progressing with the passing game. With Kelly being involved now, Devin Thomas continuing to improve, this offense can move forward. They actually seemed to find some kind of rhythm at about the mid-point of the second quarter against the Seahawks, and I expect it will continue this week against the G-Men.
Portis is a beast, and as long as JC and the passing game can keep defenses honest, he'll continue on being a beast. Chill Travis, it'll be alright man.

Im not saying I want Vick it says Redskins make the right move. But who are you sean get off my dam articles. I saw no error.

One example:
"Campbell I'm not a fan at all never was; I won't hate anymore (until you lose a game for us again)."
That should read, "Campbell, I'm not a fan, at all, never was; I won't hate anymore (until you lose a game for us again)."
It could be further improved to, "I'm not a fan of Campbell at all, never have been. I'm not going to hate on him any more (until he loses another game for us)."

Vick never got the west coast offense when they ran it in Atlanta. The Skins run a more complicated version of the Greg Knapp version from Atlanta. Matter of fact they had to throw half of the playbook out because Vick couldn't get it.
He can't read defenses, thats why he runs all over the place. His completion percentage was around 54% before he went to prison for gambling and animal cruelty. That's why Matt Schaub was a better fit, he actually can hit open receivers. The only thing Vick ever did well was run. The Skins boast a Top Five running game already.
We need a QB that can throw. I am not sold on Campbell, but please don't think Vick is ANY upgrade.
Vick brings nothing to the Skins that they don't have, except a felony charge for murder and gambling!

A true Redskin fan is always optimistic. Not holding onto things that are irrelevant at the moment. We're 7-4. Now if we were 4-7 then we may have some time to argue about things. But its two days before #21 Memorable game and you're bashing the whole organization which has exceeded everyone's expectations. Vick does not belong in Washington nor would anyone want him. Campbell is young, fresh, and very coachable. He will make tremendous strides going into next year. And please stop hating on Portis or that defense. They're our reasons for success right now. In due time, Campbell will be able to put the game on his back. At least I'm optimistic he will.

im not hating on portis. and every1 hates on the defense. Campbell was supposed to make strides last year. Um he didnt. Except less ints and fumbles.

from about 1 month ago
Huge leap with what?
They missed the playoffs and went 8-8 in 2005 and then went 7-9 in 2006. His passer rating dropped to 73.1 in 2005 and was a very pedestrian 75.6 in 2006. His completion percentage dropped as well, 55.3 and 52.6 respectively. His rushing yards went up, but the win totals went down. Anyone following the NFL knows having a RB as your QB will not win a championship.
Vick got worse and the team got worse. They drafted Matt Schaub for a reason. He was being shopped by the Falcons before his conviction. 2006 was going to be the final year of the Vick experiment.
If you're a Vick lover and apologist just say so, but at least get your facts straight.

I honestly like Michael Vick. I may not respect what he did but I do respect that he took the wrap for everyone else's actions because I know it wasn't all him. He man up about the whole dogfighting and served his jail time with his head held high. Any real person who isn't hypocritical can do nothing but respect that man. But bringing him to Washington is a definite no-no. He's going to be 30 soon and we have three decent QBs and one potential great in Jason Campbell. If Campbell doesn't make the pro bowl this year I guaranteed he does next year. And if the Redskins don't make the playoffs this year I guaranteed that they will next year. Maybe even become the NFC East champions next year. We'll see though. The NFC East is always tough.

if vick doesnt come well brennan needs to start. Campbell hasn't even thrown for 20 tds in a season yet

I would rather have Vick than Campbell any day. Vick has one of the strongest qb arms ever he can throw that deep ball. Maybe the ratings weren't his fault he had a junk team.

Whoa!!! Thank God you put that video there! Now we can all see what a BEAST he is.... hahahah.... NOT!!!
Are you kidding me? If you just put together good plays... even Rex Grossman has an amazing highlight reel... No no no to Michael Vick...
Look... you need to get off Campbell's back, Portis' back, and especially the D's back... (WE HAVE THE NO. 3 DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE)... If you don't want to be a Redskins fan then don't be one...

woa woa woa im in love with portis he is a beast. I also have boasted we have the best secondary in the league. As for Campbell never not till he throws a 400 yard game or 3 or td's in a game will i be impressed
from about 1 month ago
Excellent post...by the way Travis, passer rating is on the QB. Chad Pennington has a 93.7 rating and I can't even think of a receiver on the Dolphins.
Campbell is in place to play mistake free football. He is not counted on to lead an offense like Manning(s) or Brees. When he limits his mistakes, the Skins win, its as simple as that. I am not the biggest Campbell fan, but I'll take the good with the bad. He was not on the field when the Rams marched down and kicked that field goal. He had two bad games and they lost, Steelers and Cowboys. The Giant game was a team effort!
He is getting better and will be a solid QB by the end of the year. Brennan is ok and had a good preseason, but isn't even the backup yet. Be careful what you wish for...
from about 1 month ago
Most qb's can run an offense with no or little running game. Alas the Redskins when portis doesn't put up 115 or more it's ussualy a lost. At times when he does we still lose. So you may think Campbell has to have more time you said that last year and the half year before that. Imagine if Tom Brady or Kurt Warner, and Drew Brees had Clinton portis they would be near unstopable. As for Brennan he has a very very accurate arm and thinks fast and does what he feels. In one play zorn calls a slant; Brennan audibles to a fly and wala td. That happened 2 times in the preseason

Once again woa woa woa. Are you saying Todd Collins is better than Brennan. As we all saw Todd did well against teams with no pass rush. When he went to Seattle(formerly had a pass rush) he was whiped. Now Im not saying vick is the best fit Im just saying maybe we could use him some where. Heck he has speed put him in the backfield wouldn't that be a combo. Portis/Vick unstopable maybe but ver very good.

also forgot Dolphins have the double headed monster in which gives Pennington the open men down field. Thus Pennington is just a product. But we forgave Pac man we forgave Ricky why not Vick it's just his first mistake. Pac man and Ricky are multi timers.

Look at the depth chart, Brennan is the number three QB. He will have a long wait unless Collins leaves or retires. Except for preseason, I've never seen Brennan play in a real NFL game. Hey, he could be the next Joe Montana, who knows. But right now, he carries a clipboard and fetches gatorade for Campbell.
My point about QB rating is simple, it is a statistical measurement of a QB's production and performance. I used Pennington, an average QB, to benchmark how miserable Vick's QB rating was before he went to the pokey. Look it up, 73.00 is NOT good. FYI...Campbell has a 90.2 rating this year.
By the way, Vick had Warrick Dunn in his prime, as well as Alge Crumpler both Pro Bowlers. Although they have improved, I'd hardly call Miamis RB's a "two headed" monster, they are ranked 17th in the NFL.
Neither Jones or Williams gambled or killed animals. Williams suspension was drug related, which was self inflicted. He paid the price and came back. Jones served his time, but won't make it through the summer without a last strike.
You can forgive Vick if you choose to, but there is no precedence for his crime and subsequent return to the league under Goodell's reign, so I doubt he will play anytime soon.

Dolphins have Colt's receiver from Hawaii, Davone Bess. Colt is the real deal. He can make all the throws. Go to espn and check the stats, or youtube to see the highlights of his 131 TD's at UH. Flaco and Ryan have nothing on Colt. Pre-season 3rd string receivers looked awful good! Wonder why? Colt Brennan. Travis, for a 15 year old you are very wise. Time for Colt to start!!

Thank you for one time on Bleacher Report someone isn't bagging on me. I knew Brennan was very good when he audibled a blitz to take a chance at a td and wala td, and when Brennan got ampble playing time and got shots he won games.

Make no mistake I am a Colt Brennan fan for life. I waited a lifetime for him to arrive at UH. The skins have the most prolific passer in ncaa history, and yet he sits. Play Colt with Portis, Moss, Thrash, Randle El and the rookies then lookout NFL there's gonna be a new sheriff in town. When I watch JC it's painful. Colt's time will come and we can say "told you so"!! Keep it up Travis, I got your back!!!! COLT BRENNAN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
