Washington Redskins Rely on Jason Campbell

Which Jason Campbell is the quarterback Washington NFL enthusiasts should check for this year? The qb that's disliked and practically out of the sphere? Or is Campbell the second version of Doug Williams, just like Clinton Portis has so expressively stated recently?

His execution is what the coming season is all going to revolve around. Clinton Portis could end this year with about 11000 rush yards through his career, aligning himself for Hall of Fame consideration with about three or 4 great years left in his career.

It will not make a difference.

Malcolm Kelly might turn out to be one of the elite young receivers in the league this season, capable of receiving parallels to Andre Johnson and Calvin Johnson by season's end.

It will not mean much.

Brian Orakpo might be the next version of Lawrence Taylor, wreaking havoc on the weak side of the entire NFC East.

It will not mean much.

The only thing holds importance is that the team wins a minimum of 10 contests, and that their quarterback is the most high-ranking figure in every one of these expected 10 victories.

Ignore the reality that he played half a season in 2008 without an interception, it was all about the incredible Clinton Portis at some point in that run. When things went sour for the franchise, it wasn't Clinton Portis who shouldered the blame.

It was Campbell, who was not the only individual with lessened output during the blackout, but was the only addressee of the sports radio and print media drama that followed.

Most fans are in Jason Campbell's defense, and no one heads up that group's praise more so than I do.

However from a neutral standpoint, there's a fine line between glory and calamity for Campbell this forthcoming season, and zero more Washington can do or is able to do will surpass the steadiness he must bring from the first game and after.
