Jason Campbell Is An Oakland Raider!!!

The best Oakland Raider draft in recent memory just went through the roof with the acquisition of Jason Campbell from the Washington Redskins. Campbell is now, easily, the best quarterback in silver and black. The death knoll is ringing for JaMarcus Russell who should be cut in order to avoid paying his entire 2010 contract if he should somehow get injured.
The Raiders acted quickly in signing Campbell to a one year contract extension after only giving up a 2012 4th Round selection. He is now on board for two years. This is one more sign that JaMarcus Russell will be gone.
This is Rich Gannon 2.0 and all of Raider Nation is celebrating.

Skins fan here
you guys got a good one. He got a bad shake here in DC, and I’m glad he’s going somewhere new. I think he’s gonna do good things for you guys. Treat him right.

Interesting that you say that
Seems they’re always down on Campbell in the Skins’ forums. I hope he does well here, hope he’s everything that we need. Hope that I’ve been wrong about the guy.
Most Redskins fans had a negative opinion on Campbell since he wasn’t a Pro Bowl quarterback. They especially don’t have any reason to say anything nice about him now since Donovan McNabb is in town.

Another skins fan here
Gotta agree with Rekka, he’s a good one.
I can guarantee you guys that he will work as hard as he can to get wins for Raiders. HE won’t cause problems and he won’t run his mouth. I hope your offensive systems works for him and he can bring you guys success. He didn’t get the best treatment in Washington, so I hope you guys show him some support, put your confidence in him, and become a playy off caliber team.
Good luck! I will be watching and rooting for you!

Oakland got a steal with Campbell, especially if Oakland can have some consistancy in their offense, he can easily become a terrific quarterback. Don’t look at his record at Washington too closely, just understand he improved in every aspect of being a quarterback ever single year despite being behind one of the worst offensive lines (skins are the only team to not draft an o-line man in either the 1st or 2nd round in the past decade), going through 8 offensive systems in 10 years (im counting his years in college), and despite the management trying to undermine him (Snyder is an idiot).
one more thing
I should mention that during the entire time, Campbell never ran his mouth off, was always trying to take the positive perspective and acted like a gentleman always. His attitude is a model for not just football players but everyone. To know you are always being fucked with, and always getting knocked to the ground or being rushed in milliseconds after the snap, Campbell never complained (or if he did, we never heard of it)
if you really want a good sense of how solid his character is, read this article from an interview with Campbell after portis attacked him
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/05/AR2010010503744.html
There are a lot of good quotes in there, but personally my favorite is, “I never do anything to try to hurt my teammates. Some people need to stop being ‘me’ guys and start being ‘we’ guys.”
The attitude problems at QB for Oakland are solved.
WILD CARD
MY GOODNESS WE ARE TURNING IT AROUND WOW, WHAT A WEEKEND WITH SUCCESSSSSS REAL SUCCESSS THIS IS GOING TO BE A SEASON TO REMEMBER….WE ARE TAKING THE WILD CARD NO DOUBT ,MARK MY WORDSSS
Woo HOO!!!
I have been saying it for weeks. Jason Campbell is a damn good QB who has been playing behind the worst O-line in the entire league. This makes the Raiders a contender right now.
Chargers better hang on to their asses now.

Wow!
We got a good QB.. had a good draft… Did Al Davis die?
"Carter's 25-game hitting streak isn't any normal streak. He's 46 for 97 (.474 average) during the run, adding 16 walks and compiling 81 total bases in the process. I'm out of superlatives for what he's doing." - Kevin Goldstein
I know, right
It looks like they listened to scouts and everything this time. I can’t believe this is the Raiders. Over at the draft page at NFL.com, they’re giving the Raiders glowing praise for the draft picks this year.

is awesome. You should learn it someday.

Cowboys fan here
I watched my ‘Boys play the Redskins twice a year for the past few years, and I think this is a coup for the Raiders. I don’t know if he’ll be on the team after 2012, but even if not he will make you guys significantly better over the next two years. I could see the raiders possibly having a winning season this year, as long as DHB and others step up to provide good options for Campbell.

Question
What has Al Davis been smoking? We have had a very good offseason , so weird.
I don't want another player or pick in return, all I want is.... a SHRUBBERY!
Haters are like todays republican party, they whine and complain without offering and idea or solution. It's once in a blue moon one comes a long and is worth listening to
WOW...
i woke up this morning with Jason Campbell IS a OAKTOWN RAIDER.as some one posted up above he was a really good qb stuck behind a crappy o-line,smart player with an arm.if our o-line can give him time watch out.DHB is going to be a gawd dang hall of famer (if he can hang on to the ball.) w/ the rest of our wr’s we are going to be a power-house.i love this draft i love what ol’AL is plotting.hold your heads up high RAIDERNATION no more crap on monday morning..lol….I LOVE IT…
I can say we have addressed everything
But we still need to get a RG and C but they should okay for now. We got a QB, 2 OT, DL, and Routt hasn’t signed his tender. Hope we cut him while we still has common sense.
We spoke to Jim Otto yesterday and he loves Sampson Satele:
He thinks that Satele is special. I’m going with that.

And
we got another track star. Wouldn’t be a Raider draft without one. Be interesting to see if Ford can outrun DHB.
Nice Pick Up
Replacing (apparently) JaMarcus Russell is one thing that as a Chiefs fan I didn’t want to see you guys do……not only did you do it, you guys avoided drafting one which allowed Raider Nation to put together a soild draft (thanks for taking McClain before Denver could….). I believe (as most of you do too) that Jason Campbell will do very well for you. Cheers, here is to both Oak and KC taking the top two spots away from SD and DEN in the AFC West…..of course, we will take the top one…..you guys can have the 2nd spot. Good luck in 2010…..
To my fellow military family members; stay smart, stay safe but don't stay away from home for too long.
Skins fan here...
Redskins fan here. You guys got a nice pick up in Campbell. Great guy, great teammate and someone whose potential imo has yet to be tapped. I think i can can speak for most Skins fans when i say that we hope he finds the success in Oakland that he wasn’t able to find here, mostly because our OL sucked with him as the starter. But he was thought of well during his time here. Good luck and hang in there Raiders fans!
Happy for Raiders fans
As a Redskin fan I hope Jason gets to prove just how good he really is.Hope he does for your team what he never got a chance to do for the Skins. I know Ill be watching Raider games just to see how hes doing. Hope this trade bites Danny, Mikey and Bruce in the A** Wish you much success Jason,
To be fair
this wasn’t the fault of Mike or Bruce, it was the fault of Snyder and (now thankfully gone) Cerrato for not giving Campbell an even halfway decent line to play behind.
The consensus here was that Campbell had to go and get a fresh start someplace else, especially after us picking up McNabb. Campbell should be a starter in the league and he will get that chance in Oakland.
Why Would the Devil Himself Help Al ???
I’m just saying,I have always wondered what he would do with another team and the Raiders seem like a perfect fit. So I have to ask why would Big Al’s mortal enemy help him out. Any way this is a great move and thanks to The Raiders for a great draft.
Could it be true!!??
Can the raiders finally turn the corner,this could be a year to remember!!!RAIDER NATION 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you JESUS
Finally we get the QB we deserve and when you look at his numbers he’s not that far behind most of the elite QB’s (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/stats/byposition). In fact they’re pretty similar to Mcnabb’s. A huge improvement over our current fata$$ QB. I cant wait until the season starts, to see the raiders in the playoffs.
You guys hit the jackpot with JC 17 (Jason Campbell)
I am a Redskins fan, and the biggest JC 17 supporter on Hogs Haven ( redskin blog site). This guy will be great on a team that appreciates him, and with a coach that does not be little him. You guys also have Jacoby Ford who is more then just a track star . Jacoby Ford is a true football player. I look forward to watching you guys win a lot of games this year. Campbell to Ford lookout !!!
IM LOOOOOOOVING THE MOVE
We addressed all of our needs in the draft, we even got Bruce Campbell in the 4th round. And now we get a good young QB exactly what we need.. If one of these young OT’s can step up and have a good rookie season and JCamp can be consistent were a wild card team no doubt.
I Think I'll Smile...
…just a little after today’s moves.
I haven’t had this much positive input regarding our team in years. Let’s hope Mr. Davis allows his personnel to take it from here.
"I've been accused of using too many words...I suppose that's like accusing Mozart of using too many notes." Bill King
so now the raiders have two qb;s. campbell on offense and rolando on defense. these 2 acquisitions alone make it a successful draft, in my opinion.
"the man who created a legend; the legend who resurrected a franchise."
How much of that Guaranteed $ do you think Russell has left?
And how much of it did he give away to dressing up his “friends.” I wonder if Jay-Z will still invite him backstage when he is collecting welfare? Not trying to be a hard ass, but think its kind of funny.

I just listened to Cable
on an interview he did yesterday. I believe Cable, never known him to lie, and this is what he said. Houston was drafted to play left defensive end. When asked who will play the interior line he said: “we have plans in place to take care of that.” “you will be happy when you find out!”. Then the Raiders go out and draft 3 DB’s late in the draft. What does this mean? Simple, Nnamdi is going to Washington for Haynesworth, mark my words.
There is no other reason to draft 3 DB’s on a team that has about 5 or 6 DB’s already. And two of the picks were CB’s. The Raiders have just announced that teams will not run on Oakland anymore. Nnamdi and Hayneworth are both very high priced players so financially it is a wash, and Washington has good lineman but cannot stop the pass, it is a good mix for both teams.
Oh God No..
We got a good team…we have so much potential..PLEASE….I want to Keep Nnamdi.

Nope you got it wrong
I think its Nnamdi for Haynesworth and a 2011 1st rounder. But it will not happen.

Please
pass some of what you been smoking.
Haynesworth isn’t coming to Oakland, more likely he will end up back in Tennessee. Nnamdi ain’t going anywhere. That would be insanity.
I believe that the other DB’s jobs are on the line now, though.

not albert
this is not the first time ive heard this and it looks like we’re setting up to trade Aso, but i dont see it happening we no longer want “knuckleheads” and haynesworth is one. Although i do see it happening we trade Aso; i hope its not for hatnesworth im sure any team with a top tier DT would take on Aso for their DT…Pat Williams?k. Williams?(from vikings), tommie harries? i dont know but we will see
Oh really
Please inform us what other combination of 10 1st RD picks and starting players than plan on giving us to go with taking on another fat schlub that has an over inflated contract?

Another loser QB. Aside from the Manning brothers and Stafford, the SEC doesn’t produce pro QB’s. Campbell, Russell, Cutler, and Grossman all suck.
Campbell sucks?
Wow, I’m sure glad you told us so we can start worrying now. This is a truly valuable piece of public serviice you have so graciously besowed upon Raider Nation. Thanks for this.
Refuse to tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death
He doesn't need to be great.
He just needs to be good.
And if you look at his numbers, he shows very healthy progression.
Bammers are retards when it comes to the NFL
He’s probably still upset because Brodie “Please don’t hit me again” Croyle isn’t starting somewhere…
Upon moving to AL, I let my wife decide who she would root for. After one day at a new job full of Bama fans, she met me at the door with a hearty cry of "WAR EAGLE"

so throwing for over 3,000 yards makes you suck.
Come on, Alabama! Do some research on a player before you open your mouth and say so and so sucks. Also, Stafford has only been in the league 1 year and that qualifies him as a good QB. Are you the decider in who is good and no good? I’ll give you Russell and Grossman, but what do you have to do to make you not suck. Throw for 4,000+ yards 30 passing TDs and have a 130.0 QB rating before he qualifies as not sucking. I’m damn happy you don’t have anything to do with evaluating talent and making decisions on who to bring in via trade of FA.
Look at Jason Campbell by the numbers.

Pretty good.
But, hell, I have a high school QB here that can put up better numbers than JaBustus,

Rich Gannon 2.0? Not so fast..
Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about this pick for two reasons. It spells the end for Jamarcus, and I always like the “fresh start” prospect. But to say he will do what Gannon did for us a decade ago may be a lofty, hasty expectation. Here’s hoping he can take us one step further than where Gannon brought us and win us a championship.
Thats right
Campbell can run. That makes them a lot different. Oh, and Campbell can throw the ball 70 yards, too. So, yup, different than Gannon all right.

is gonna be great in Oakland… the line and WRs are much better than in DC.
ExRedskins fan \New Raiders Fan here… I’m excited to see what my boy can do for his new team!

Chiefs fan here
But, you guys had a nice draft and to grab Campbell appears to me to be a real good move. A joke I saw is that you guys didn’t tell Al that the draft actually started on Thursday. So, when he came into the office on Saturday for Round 1 of the draft he picked Campbell and Ford!
AFC West might be coming back.
