2006 Point & Laugh at the taterskins thread

[Feva]

30 teams played yesterday and only one team didn't score a TD......... guess who that was

[Seabiscuit36]

Did You Know? The taterskins have allowed 126 points in the past five games, and 390 yards per game in that span. Opposing quarterbacks have thrown 17 touchdowns against Washington this season, and been intercepted only twice.

But Sean Taylor is the best safety in the NFL!!!1

Jason Campbell's career stats

skins name Jason Campbell starting QB

Beautiful.  Now they can waste another 3-4 years with Campbell as he proves he can't play in this league.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He's been the inactive 3rd QB for all 25 games of his NFL career.

So, he's never even taken the field during a game in uniform... not to hold for an extra point, not to hand the ball off or take a knee at the end of a game... etc.

Brilliant job by angel saint god coach Gibbs getting this guy ready to play.

Warm ups, bitch.

Seriously, the only good things that happened yesterday were I got to go to Pat's for my steak, and the Skins got trounced bad enough to bench Brunell.

So you ate a zesty cheesesteak while your team basically just ate shtein all day.

Super!

3pts. from the 'supposed to be so great this year' Deadskins offense. point

The 'supposed to be no.1 defense in the NFC East' getting burned for a 84 yd. TD. The 'best saftety in the NFL' being the guy who got torched on the play. point

The Deadskins fans blaming the refs when their team scored a whopping 3 pts. point

Jason Campbell, Second Coming of Doug Williams

For No. 17, A Coincidence


November 13, 2006

Jason Campbell wears No. 17 in tribute to taterskins great Doug Williams. Maybe someday taterskins fans will be able to speak of Campbell's career in the same glowing terms reserved for Williams.

That career will be launched next Sunday in Raymond James Stadium when the taterskins take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a battle of struggling NFC teams that met in the NFL playoffs last January.

The Week 11 start to Jason Campbell's NFL career seems to make sense for a lot of reasons, most notably that the taterskins really need a spark at the quarterback position.

It's not that the classy Mark Brunell is the sole reason for the taterskins' problems, or even the major reason. There are plenty of problems with the football team that have nothing to do with Mark Brunell.

The larger issue is that the taterskins need to find out if Campbell can compete at the NFL level. The announcement by head coach Joe Gibbs gives the young man out of Auburn a fair shot at the final seven games of 2006.

What a coincidence that the first start for Campbell will be in Tampa Bay, where Williams, the man he so admires, works now in the Bucs' organization. Williams is in his third season as a personnel executive.

Williams also made his first NFL start in Tampa Bay as the Bucs quarterback in 1978. He joined the taterskins in 1986 and led the franchise to a championship in Super Bowl XXII in 1987.

In Campbell's first NFL season, the taterskins were content to have 2005 first-round draft pick Campbell sit back and soak it all in.

In fact, the Auburn quarterback selected 25th overall in the draft, didn't get on the field during the regular season. Still, Gibbs was pleased with his development.

"My impression of Jason is that he's very accurate," Gibbs said. "He has a sense of what the pocket is and he's going to be hard to sack because he's so big."

As college fans are well aware, Campbell led Auburn to an undefeated 13-0 season in 2004. He was named MVP of the SEC Championship game and the Sugar Bowl.

Now Campbell must prepare for a Bucs' defense that has traditionally been a nasty one. It features a trio of Pro Bowlers in linebacker Derrick Brooks, cornerback Ronde Barber and defensive end Simeon Rice.

"Tampa Bay is a good team," Campbell said on Monday. "They are a whole lot better than their record. In the NFL, it's a game of inches and small things separate the great teams. They are a great team and I think it's going to be a challenge on the road, but my teammates around me work hard and I know I'll have their support."

Certainly Campbell will be thinking about Williams in the days leading up the game at Raymond James Stadium. Campbell honored Williams by wearing his No. 17. On Sunday, he'll be trying to beat the team for which Williams now works.

It's one No. 17 starting his NFL career with the No. 17 quarterback he so admired as a youngster no doubt looking on.

Thank you, Mark Brunell for the good memories... Jason Campbell, it's your turn! Step up into the pocket and throw it deep...touchdown, Washington taterskins!

If he's the second coming of Doug Williams, he has some huge shoes to fill.
