Re: JC is not what I thought part two
 

The one thing consistent no matter who was our OC was that they all said JC was putting the work in studying film and the playbook, they might of complained about his technique but never about is work ethic, it seems like it's finally paying of for him -- all is hard work.

NFC East QB Ratings

Jason Campbell: 102.2
Tony Romo: 99.0
Donovan McNabb: 95.7
Eli Manning: 91.1[/quote]Very good thank you. May I have another.


Its also pretty impressive that all are above 90.

Re: JC is not what I thought part two
 

Well I can honestly say that I was in the minority week one. I wasn't calling for JC's head. Nope not me. I saw the potential, and knew he would be fine. JC is not what I thought he was because he has progressed so quickly. I mean, moving from where he was at the beginning of September to where he is now? 180 degrees. Plus I'm going to have a good taste in my mouth for the rest of the week. Dallas Week pt. I is over, and we're 1-0

Re: JC is not what I thought part two
 

I thought when I watched him against the Giants, he wasn't making mistakes, but he also wasn't seeing his receivers properly and getting rid of the ball. Hence the sacks. But also, we didn't have a running game to speak of. Now the offense looks more of a unit, and able to move the ball on long drives (i.e. 10 plays for 79 yards!). That goes a long way to helping a QB feel comfortable in there.

Re: JC is not what I thought part two
 

So far so good. We'll know for certain in week 17.

[quote=Paintrain;482946]You said it perfectly. You know who (by fanbase definition) didn't look like an NFL QB 20 starts into his career? Drew Brees. Yes, the same one who is leading the NFL in every passing category. Some fans either don't believe in or don't know how to measure progress.[/quote]

I remember they drafted Rivers cause they didn't thought Brees wasn't going to be any good. SD had no patience. Brees got it done yesterday w/out Colston and Shockey. He's not the biggest guy, or he doesn't have the best arm, but all he does is get the job done. 100% stud of a QB.

Re: JC is not what I thought part two
 

The thing I'm noticing now is that a lot of the long pass plays we're seeing are direct results of Jason's escapability from the rush. He's turned plays that could have been losses into huge gains with some nifty footwork. Direct byproduct of Zorn's teachings this year.

Re: JC is not what I thought part two
 

I am glad I didn't throw him under the bus early. I always said give the guy a chance. I got kicked off a board for that. I got grief for saying the D-Line needs to get more sacks and pressures (which is still true). Another one of my assesments was that Horton needs to start (I see Doughty got burned again).

But enough of that. I saw JC get torn down by so many people. The Colt Cult is quiet now. People who were hating JC are coming around now. They were saying he wasn't smart enough. He couldn't be a QB in this league. He can't be a leader. His release is too slow. Now the haters are eating crow and I am glad because by them eating crow it relates to us winning. I am glad I kept the faith towards the end of preseason I got kind of weary. But the scary thing is. This is only one quarter of the season. Imagine what he is going to do when he gets more comfortable and Kelly Davis and Thomas are adding to the receiving corp. Scary isn't it.

I guess Joe Gibbs did know what he was doing with Campbell. Its still early and I hope he progresses even more along the way and makes more people eat crow.

HTTR!!

Re: JC is not what I thought part two
 

JC is finally living up to the potential he was credited with when he came out of college. I think confidence is the important thing. He now has all the confidence in his O line his recievers, and his defense.

Hail to the redskins

Re: JC is not what I thought part two
 

He is on 980 right now with Doc and Kevin.
kevin to Jason: "Jason, how did it feel to run the Cowboys into the ground in the fourth quarter? They were tired and you guys just kept pounding them". Jason: "It felt.....GREAT!!""
This is dude is VERY happy with the situation we have. he describes the other guys the same..Cooley, Moss, El are having a REAL good time.
I CANNOT help but believe we are just a Juggernaut like, Perfect Storm......just beginnning to gather momentum. Might be this year, might be next, but [B]IT WILL [/B]be unleashed full force!
HTTR

Re: JC is not what I thought part two
 

Props to him...i hope he continues to grow this year and gets that big contact extension this year to be the franchise guy:pimp:

Re: JC is not what I thought part two
 

Those 10-12 lbs he lost during the off season is really starting to benefit him. What a big difference from last year when he couldn't hang onto the ball in the pocket.

Re: JC is not what I thought part two
 

What I'm loving is he escapes in the pocket, resets and makes big plays down the field. Love seeing this young man play like this, 3-1 in the first quarter is a heckuva start!

I think there will be more long plays as vets get more comfortable and Thomas and Kelly get in the mix more. With the rookies in gear there also will be big targets for that goal line fade.

It was JC's year to no longer be a beginner, and either shine or bust. Since he is shining in a big way, we may be well set at quarterback for years. SWEEET!
