The Washington Redskins haven't started out their 09' exactly how they anticipated. In fact, they are probably the most under achieving team in the NFL so far.
The Washington Redskins find themselves in arguably the toughest division in football. If they don't raise their level of play, they'll find themselves at the bottom of the NFC East.
The Redskins offense is one of the worst in the NFC - QB Jason Campbell is completing a high percentage of his passes but the Redskins can't score in the redzone.
RB Clinton Portis is having a pedestrian like year and only averaging 3 yards per carry. The Redskins wide receiver core are talented, but haven't played like it. WR Santa Moss ,WR Antwaan Randle El, and WR Cris Cooley have the explosive, play making abilities, Campbell can't seem to find them often enough.
The Redskins defense isn't the best but not close to being the worst either - so the problem lies with the offense execution.
Their receivers (Santana Moss, Chris Cooley, etc.) are good, but not great. Maybe with a better QB, they would look great.
In 08', Campbell did compete 62% of his pass attempts which shows he can be accurate enough, but his leadership qualities are questioned. Jim Zorn should do a better job at helping him develop.
Given that head coach Jim Zorn played quarterback in the NFL before -- one would assume Campbell would be further along in his development then he currently is. The Redskins are in a very tough division if you are a good team, if the Redskins keep playing like they have, a 6-10 season will be their destiny.
