The Bet: The Plot Thickens

Campell Is On His Way To A Decent Year
Coming into the season, I knew JaMarcus Russell would struggle. Even when he was drafted, I expected little out of Russell. I have outlined my thoughts about Russell in my Players At A Crossroads article about him. The Raiders, however, seemed to think Russell would be solid this season. After releasing Jeff Garcia, the Raiders had no one to play quarterback if/when Russell struggled. This, of course, is a problem the Raiders are realizing right now. Russell has been so bad this season, that he was benched for Bruce Gradkowski last week. Going forward, it looks like Russell will get another chance to shine as the Raiders starting quarterback. While the Redskins have been nearly as bad as the Raiders this season, Jason Campbell doesn’t seem to be struggling as much as you might expect. As a matter of fact, Campbell is well on his way to some career highs this season…if he can keep his job.
The Bet: Week 3

Campbell Can't Beat The Lions
The JaMarcus Russell/ Jason Campbell bet continues this week. While one of our horses may have started to pull away, I can’t help but notice that there is a fatal flaw to our little wager this season.
The Bet: Week 1

Jason Campbell Leads After Week 1
Time to lighten things up around here. Matt “Monty” Montgomery, is an unabashed lover of all things LSU. We know that, and we love him for it. As many of you may have noticed, I wrote two very similar articles about both Jason Campbell and JaMarcus Russell. While Campbell’s outlook was a bit more positive, Russell’s was not so rosy. Remember, that Russell went to the fabled Louisiana State University. Monty, obviously, took exception to the fact that I implied Russell might not be a very good NFL quarterback. Therefore…The Bet was made.
Throughout the season, we will be monitoring both Russell and Campbell in a few key statistics. Whichever quarterback outplays the other in those stats will be the winner. The loser will be buying dinner for the winner. Pictures can be taken, good times can be had. I, of course, will be taking Jason Campbell. Monty, as expected, will be taking JaMarcus Russell. The stats we will be monitoring are as follows:
- Touchdowns
- Interceptions
- Completion Percentage
- Passing Yardage
- Quarterback Rating
Let’s analyze how each of our boys did in Week 1.
Players At A Crossroads: Jason Campbell

Jason Campbell Enters A Critical Season
Jason Campbell enters 2009 at a career crossroad. After being selected with the 25th overall selection in the 2005 NFL Draft, Campbell was expected to provide stability at Washington’s quarterback position for years to come. Things have not gone smoothly for Campbell thus far in his NFL career. The Redskins were even rumored to be in the running for Jay Cutler and, when that fell through, Mark Sanchez. With Campbell in the last year of his contract, can he prove that he is the quarterback of the future in Washington?
NFL Season Preview: NFC East

Manning Returns...And So Does His O-Line
In 2008, the NFC East was arguably the best division in the NFL. Both the Giants and the Eagles made the playoffs, and every team finished above .500. Although it didn’t show up in his touchdown numbers, Eli Manning had his best season and led the Giants to a 12-4 record. The Eagles had an up-and-down season, but Donovan McNabb stayed healthy and the team won 9 games. Injuries to Tony Romo and Marion Barber caused the Cowboys to drop to third in the division. Even a mid-season trade for Roy Williams would not help the Cowboys. The Redskins finished last in the division going 8-8. While the Skins looked good initially, they collapsed down the stretch. In the off-season, the Giants stood firm while the Eagles and Redskins got stronger. With the Cowboys returning to health, can anyone overtake the Giants?
