Why I feel Jason Campbell is the right QB

In the last few weeks Jason Campbell has had to worry about his job security just like many American are doing right now during this so called "recession". I feel the lack of confidence in him by Dan Snyder is unwarranted. Jason Campbell, ever since he entered the NFL, has not had stability in offensive schemes even before that he had to learn new offensive schemes each year during his time at Auburn. It is very hard to become great quarterback if you have to constantly learn a new offense. NFL offenses are very complicated and take years to master remember when Payton came in the league he wasn't the great quarterback today or how about Drew Breez it took him a while to get a hang of things. Fortunately when Snyder hired Jim Zorn an offense was brought in that Campbell had familiarity with the West Coast Offense. Jason Campbell ran this offense his last year in college and this propelled him to a first round draft pick. During the first half of last season the redskins went 6-2 and we finally started throwing downfiled. I do admit the second half of the year didn't go our way losing six out of our last eight games but I don't blame it on Jason Campbell. Our offensive line wore down with major injuries and we never got the production we needed from Malcom Kelly(who was injured all year), Devin Thomas, and Fred Davis. I feel this year will be very different Jason will be a year older in the system and have something to prove to all those who doubt his skills. Mark my words Jason Campbell will have his breakout season this season.
