The Washington Redskins need a quarterback. It’s going to be Jason Campbell again, no matter what either wants.
My Washington Examiner column runs down why Campbell will remain in Washington this season. Maybe the Redskins draft a quarterback, but for now they’ll keep Campbell as a restricted free agent. It’s called hedging your bets.
For Redskins QB [...]

Both teams fans want change. So how about it - would you trade Jason Campbell for Donovan McNabb?
My Washington Examiner column explores why the team would make some sense. Or, maybe the Redskins could grab Michael Vick from Philly. Either way, people are going to spend the day telling me I’m nuts.
Are Redskins and Eagles [...]

Is this the end for quarterback Jason Campbell with Washington when the Redskins play San Diego today?
Yes, no — maybe?
It largely centers on whether the new coach wants him, if the passer wants to stay and if labor talks are completed before March 1 free agency.
Like I said, it’s complicated. Read my Washington Examiner column [...]

Jason Campbell’s improved play of late has me thinking the Redskins shouldn’t be so quick to let him go after the season. That is, if the labor agreement is reached and he becomes a free agent. Otherwise, Washington retain his rights for two more years.
Campbell isn’t the NFL’s best passer and he’s not the worst. [...]

Washington Redskins coach Jim Zorn said he never thought of pulling Jason Campbell despite four turnovers in the 16-13 win over Tampa Bay. That says a lot.
The Redskins will sink or swim with the pair this season. Afterwards, they’re probably both gone. For now, Zorn isn’t changing. It’s not like Colt Brennan is a possibility [...]

I don’t normally like to say it’s all about the quarterback because it’s really not. But for the Washington Redskins, Jason Campbell will have a large  say in the season’s fate.
My Washington Examiner column talks of how Campbell’s confidence needs to remain high or else he’s someone else’s backup next year.
Success of the Skins is [...]

The Washington Redskins are readying for another season, about the 40th I’ve watched since Vince Lombardi arrived. It seems like nothing ever changes under owner Dan Snyder.
The air of change seems in the wind. A coach and quarterback who are lame ducks. A team that might not match expectations that could change greatly in the [...]

If nothing else, which quarterback that coach Jim Zorn cuts will reveal a lot about his body language and words. I’m closely watching Zorn’s reactions over this to see if he has a tell card in his demeanor.

On one hand, Zorn genuinely wants Brennan to succeed. I mean, who doesn’t want their players [...]

Washington Redskins fans love quarterback controversies so much they’re trying to debate both the starting and No. 3 passers involving three different people. The problem is there is no quarterback competition.
My Washington Examiner column says Jason Campbell is the starter and Todd Collins is No. 2. Colt Brennan is No. 3, Chase Daniel is No. [...]

The Washington Redskins tried to replace Jason Campbell. Yet, the quarterback starts against Pittsburgh on Saturday.
My Washington Examiner column details how Campbell feels about it all. Not that used tissue stuff, but some candid talk on his goal and reaction to the past six months.
Campbell stands tall

I thought it would be a quiet training camp for Jason Campbell. All the drama played out over the offseason.
Think again. Campbell told Sports Illustrated in its current issue that he felt like tissue paper thrown down the toilet. Groan — just what the haters needed. My Washington Examiner column remembers how this is remindful [...]

Despite all the shouting over replacing Jason Campbell, the real competition behind center will be for No. 2. Todd Collins remains the primary backup, but coach Jim Zorn plans to give Colt Brennan a real chance this preseason.
My Washington Examiner column talks of the tandem and who might emerge.
Let the backup battle begin

Jason Campbell.
You can spend $100 million for Albert Haynesworth and draft Brian Orakpo, even keep Clinton Portis happy, but it comes down to the passer.
My Washington Examiner column explains how coach Jim Zorn and Campbell’s fates are interwined.
The future of coach Zorn and Campbell intertwined

Redskins quarterback Colt Brennan says he’ll be 100 percent when the team opens training camp July 30. The backup spent the past week in Hawaii where he played college ball. The Honolulu Advertiser caught up to Brennan, who’s a legend in the islands after becoming a 2007 Heisman Trophy finalist.
This could be Brennan’s big chance [...]

Saw two sessions today on a beautiful (mostly) day. Makes me remember why I’m glad I don’t work in an office.
You can read a million words around the internet, including some of mine at the washingtonexaminer.com, but here are some quick hits.
Mike Williams doesn’t look 400 pounds. Maybe 350. I mean, he’s a big [...]

The Redskins return to the field on Friday for minicamp followed by OTAs (which are veteran camps with no hitting). There are a  few things I’ll watch.
1. Brian Orakpo. Looks like the real deal. The Redskins will work him at linebacker during camps since they know he can pass rush, but let’s see how he [...]

Well, that’s nice.
Campbell’s feelings are a little bruised, but before his golf tournament today said he’s moving on.
OK, time for a tough love talk. Jason, this is a business. It may seem like everyone loves you after all that money and attention your first four years, but you’re entering the final year of [...]

First things first — the Walls eclair was great. Aren’t they always?
Second — Just participated in my first mock online draft for a friend’s site. Mark Sanchez was still available at 13 so I took him. I think Sanchez goes in the top 6 and the Redskins will try to trade up to get him. [...]

Man, I get away for the first time in nearly a year and all *##* breaks loose on Redskins quarterbacks.
The Redskins thought they had Denver’s Jay Cutler only to lose out on a late bid by Chicago. While Cutler is better than Jason Campbell, I think the Redskins are better letting Campbell play out his [...]
