Where is that rock clappin .gif at so I can give it to Jason?
Leaving in the DMV, Jason gets alot of hate from Skins and non skin fans, and alot of it is not warranted. I'm glad that if he is done in DC, he went outin style.
Go to Minnesota and backup Favre for 1 year
OO yea congrats on the Shannahan signing

Campbell is garbage and Portis is the ******** best player on offense. That's all that matters. When healthy, Portis produces. Campbell doesn't. In aleague full of "me-1st" players I don't anybody truly cares what Portis thinks so long as he is producing.
Portis been blocking his %@% off for Campbell for years. B-Move to be throwing him under the bus. Everything Portis said was true but he shouldn't havecalled JC out publicly like that. Foul on his part.
Skins will be better off next year without JC and with a healthy Portis.

I have read that Shanahan was leaning towards keeping Campbell, even if we draft a QB. I think Portis has more of a chance of being gone thanCampbell. And yea, perhaps if Portis worked his **+ off and got in shape in the offseason he'd have a good year next year, but we know he will come insloppy as hell again.Originally Posted by Fear The Ibis
@ CP and JC of all people arguing about leadership. The irony.

You don't think the fact that he was coming back to play for a clueless jim zorn had anything to do with it? If recall the ******** were doing pretty wellback in '08 when they were running the ball and the O went through Portis, Cooley, etc. Then they went away from that and started tanking. Portis calledZorn out on it and Zorn just ignored it.
CP had his best years under Shanahan.....i'm willing to bet he'll be in tip top shape come camp.

We didn't go away from Portis; the line stopped blocking effectively for him and he slowed down at the end of the year as he got nicked up.Plus everyone started to figure out what Zorn was doing and we didn't adjust.
Maybe Shanahan's presence will be enough to motivate him to get in shape, but he's guilty until proven innocent as far as I'm concerned.

Couldn't be more wrong. Portis is washed up. I hope we get rid of him. Cooley is our best offensive player by a longshot. Campbell is good enough to getthe job done. If you give him a good O-Line then he's a good quarterback. He's no Brees or Manning or Rivers, but he's pretty damn good and hedoesn't make stupid mistakes (generally). We definately have set him up to fail the last couple years. Good for Jason for stepping up and firing back atCP. About damn time.

I think that Campbell could do well in the league still, and I'm not a Skins fan.

I dunno how I feel about this.
I like Mike and I love the Skins but they dont sound like a good combo.

I'm a Skins fans and I agree with some of your points. However, in Denver Shanahan had the Broncos fairly competitive on a yearly basis. Inhis 13 seasons there he had 7 ten win + seasons. I'm not a big fan of Shanahan as a coach especially with the whole VP of football operations title butthis organization needs personnel who can bring some stability, pro football experience, organization, accountability and continuity to this team. And (lordwilling) the addition of Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan will accomplish this.Originally Posted by Osh Kosh Bosh
An the3 Washington ******** reliance upon star power to influence football decisions continue. I don't think there is much proof that Mike Shanahan is that good of a coach post Elway and considering Bruce Allen is mainly a cap guy, that means Mike might as well be the GM. If I recall that didn't work out so well for Denver.
I'm skeptical, but I will take glee watching the faces of my tortured DC/Maryland cousins, recoil at another failed star signing.
Best of luck ******* fans.
As opposed to prior seasons under Dan Snyder the Skins are finally resembling a REAL NFL ORGANIZATION. By first hiring a true GM, then an experiencedcompetent coach, and working their way up from there. So I applaud them taking steps in the right direction. By establishing a foundation then building ontop of that as opposed to trying to build a house by purchasing and installing fancy chandeliers and high priced appliances before even laying the concretefounding and strong outlying support structure, LOL.
