Re: Grade Jason Campbell
 

You can't ask much more from a guy making his 1st start. Looked extremely poised in the pocket.

Not to get off the point or hijack this thread, but has anyone seen the numbers Drew Brees has put up.

Re: Grade Jason Campbell
 

He did good for his first game, I thought Duckett did good also would have liked to see him run the ball more.

It was refreshing to see passes going down the field for a change

can't wait to see JC when the offence is in full gear!!!

I wonder how he would have done with both Portis and Moss.

Re: Grade Jason Campbell
 

he played pretty well. he underthrew on some plays, lasered in others, had a couple dropped, and made some good passes on the move. I voted B- and think if he'd had a rushing game to back him up and a defense worth a lick, he would have gotten his first career victory today. Definitely an encouraging debut of Mr. Campbell.

Re: Grade Jason Campbell
 

I gave Jason a B+. I thought he played very well for his first game, actually much better than I thought he would. He managed the game well, had command of the huddle, and made good decisions. Had he had more opportunities, he may have won the game for us. My hat's off to Jason, the future is going to be bright for him.

510 yards. Crazy. But a lot of it was airing it out trying to bring the team back. Goes to show that passing yards isn't always a good indicator of the quality of the performance.

I saw that he had like 500+ yards on 50+ passes. definitely a change for him from his days under Schot. with 15-20 passes a game & 150-225 yards.

Re: Grade Jason Campbell
 

If you haven't already done so, go to skins.com and check out JC's post game presser. If you do not feel good about this kid as our QB, I am not sure what you are looking for (not that anyone has said they're unhappy, but you know what I mean!).

He is poised, confident, positive, and committed to winning. He is clearly not overwhelmed by the NFL, but he's appropriately excited about learning and winning as a skin. Made great comments about his teammates, his coaches, even the bucs. WAY TO GO JC!

(Now can we PLEASE give the kid some help out there???)

Re: Grade Jason Campbell
 

Who in the hell gave him a B-/C+? Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I'd like to hear why he gets such a low grade? Is it because you don't spell Campbell B-R-U-N-E-L-L?

Re: Grade Jason Campbell
 

What I especially liked was that he could throw the ball in the air for more than 5 yards and it didn't look like a punt. I recall the bomb to Lloyd that was dropped... those are the ones you GOTTA catch. I also liked his ability to feel pressure and slide away from it, run when he needed to, but move around to buy time mostly. I especially liked the one play where he felt the blitz shook of a tackler and still completed a pass downfield to, I think it was, James Thrash. There were a lot of situations out there today where I thought, if it were Brunell this would have been a throw away or a sack.

Re: Grade Jason Campbell
 

B+ and the only reason I didn't go A is because I think he's going to get better.

In a sick kind of way I have been hoping we'd lose enough games to get to the point where Brunell was yanked in favor of JC and I don't feel bad about that one bit, based on how he played today.

Had Brunell made just a few more exciting Dallas '05-style big plays, regardless of our record, Jason may well have languished on the bench for another half a season or more, and this team simply couldn't afford to go another 6 games without a confident, inspiring leader running the show. Brunell is experienced, but I don't think the rest of the 'O' believes in him anymore.

excatly my thinking! how much better would you want him to play? imean how much more can you ask of him?

Re: Grade Jason Campbell
 

I'm giving him a solid B.

He played very well, better than I expected. Everything we heard about him appears to be true. He's a big, strong kid with a strong and accurate arm. He also plays with poise and looks to go down the field.

I know it's early and he only has one game under his belt, but his future looks bright.

I know I gave him a B- because he threw a few too many passes into the feet of his open receivers and over threw on a couple others. He's lucky he didn't get Lloyd seriously hurt with that one high pass. I thought he did very well for his first NFL action but it was still a slighty above-average start. It definitely gives hope for what the future holds for the team especially with a healthy offense and hopefully a few tweaks on the o-line. and I loved the call on the first offensive play with that beautiful pass down the sideline to Lloyd.

I think some of his accuracy issues were to be expected considering he hasn't played in a game in almost 2 years. Give him a few starts and I think he'll settle down.
