Here We Go Again!

Making the case for Washington’s best quarterback. Washington has been looking for a franchise quarterback since… well since Joe Theismann retired. Well finally they have him, he completed 64.5% percentage of his passes, threw for 3600 yards and twenty touchdowns and all this to a group of receivers either ridiculously young or ineffective, and his best target was injured for a majority of the year. This guy even managed this in spite of having a new offensive coordinator every year of his career, and a running game that was horrid at best last year, behind an aging, oft injured offensive line. Aren’t you impressed by these amazing accomplishments and excited about the new, brighter future of the Washington Redskins?

I was, and then they muddied the waters by bringing in Donavan McNabb. Oh… you thought… no no, those were Jason Campbell’s statistics, McNabb is older, less accurate (has not had greater than 61.5% completions since 2004), and has more turnovers per start than Campbell. But hey Philadelphia has surrounded McNabb with superior talent for most of his career so he must be better right!....maybe? Washington figured that in spite of an inept front office the last 10 years they could erase most of that damage by bringing in a different quarterback. I will get criticized, hated, tarred and feathered for saying it, but Washington would have been better off saving the draft picks, starting Campbell and surrounding him with more talent, instead of playing the Donovan McNabb sweepstakes.
