Its not really Chris Carter, its Oswald Bates from In Living Color.

He always seems to have an Axe to grind when the Skins come up. But hey, he’s the expert.

Unfortunately my appreciation for the English language will not permit me to watch this. Darn.

Bet the farm that Carter did not even watch the game. Nor the last game. Nor the Rams game. He may have caught 5 minutes of the first game against the Giants because it was a 4pm game. Plus, in Carter’s world, its never the three second-year-receivers-who-cant-get-open-and-run-terrible-routes fault.

Agreed with No. 4; there’s no way Carter watched the game he’s commenting on.
Also, my favorite part of Chris’ takedown is where he spells out “National Football League” … just like the pros!

Chris Carter has always been a moron
the main reason Buddy Ryan had cut him
he thought Carter was retarded

All of which might be true, but none of which means Carter was actually wrong. In four games–three of which came against bad teams–Campbell has led the Redskins to a total of 13 first-half points.
After 40 games as a starter, damn right he should’ve been progressed further longer in the quarterback growth process.

First-half points: The only stat you need to judge a QB’s effectiveness.

Statistically speaking, Campbell has improved each season, including this one.

Hey, you guys are the fans. If you’re happy with falling behind bad teams by double digits and then allowing your quarterback to rack up great stats in two-minute drives that happen too late to allow the team to actually win, have at it.
The only point about first-half points is that those clutch late TD drives to draw within one score maybe are a bit misleading. But like I said, it’s your team.

Never said I was happy with the offense. I’m just smart enough to recognize it isn’t all (or mostly) Jason Campbell’s fault. I’m not even sure he’s part of the problem at all.
