Re: "Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"
 

[quote=12thMan;578846]I think more than a production problem, Campbell now has a perception problem on his hands. The only way to cure that is either by winning games or piling up Tom Brady type numbers. Okay, maybe not Tom Brady numbers but Matt Cassel or Donovan McNabb stats will do just fine.

Seriously folks, as much as I love Campbell, at some point he has to outperform the hand he's been delt. That's what the NFL is all about. That's what makes it different from college football or high school football or Pop Warner. These guys get paid to do this shit. They've mastered the art of winning or have a penchant for making clutch plays or tossing the fade pass in the corner of the end zone. What words come to mind when you hear the name Jason Cambell? Potential maybe?

Campbell can continue pile up a bunch of few so-so and mediocre outings, but until he exeeds exceptations in either wins or individual stats peopole will ALWAYS have reservations about him. Even if the Skins go 8-8 this year, Jason Campbell needs to have 12-4 stats under his name.[/quote]

great post. in order to put up some good numbers and help his team score more points he's got to force the issue a little more. and if that means throwing more int's then so be it. drew brees threw 17 picks last year. but so what? he threw 34 td's and 5,000 yards and got his team in the end zone. bottom line is jc's got to start taking more chances downfield. throwing a 5 yard pass and hoping that the wr is going to break a 50 yard run isn't going to happen in the nfl. but let's not judge him by last night's game. he threw a handful of passes and people around here get in an uproar.

[quote=skinsfan69;578836]C'mon people. Is anyone seriously going to bitch about JC's performance last night? How long was he in there???[/quote]

Until he looks good, yes people will bitch.

No doubt. Tom Brady has that old fire back. He got pissed when Belichick snatched him out of the game last night. Slammed his helmet down and everything.

Starters will get at least a half, according to Zorn, but I'm curious to see who are the first guys off the bench

Re: "Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"
 

campbell [B]does[/B] need to pick up his play, plain and simple. some people on here like to make excuses for him, the o-line was not perfect, the play calling was not perfect, the receivers routs were not perfect, the weather was not perfect and on and on. bottom line is things are not gonna be perfect, including campbell's play, but he does need to show some improvement. i know he hasn't played much and it's only preseason but he needs to step it up.

Re: "Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"
 

[quote=GMScud;578838]Ok, then if rain was the issue, why take deep shots? Why not intermediate routs to keep the chains moving? We already know JC has the arm.[/quote]

I'm guessing the goal was more to evaluate the deep passing game than to simply move the chains. That's what happens in the preseason, the play calling is more about evaluating situational stuff.

Re: "Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"
 

If Zorn had questions about Campbell he would've put him out on the field and answered them. It was great to see other people step up. It was also great to see Zorn stick to his game plan and accept the criticism and second guessing. He stuck with that running game last night, when he has to know all the fans and media wants to see him open it up. I haven't been a Zorn fan, but right now I'm thinking he's either very incompetent or he might actually have something cooking.

Running is the only thing we can do with any success. We need to get our passing game rolling so every team we play doesn't stack eight in the box.

Yes. Zorn wanted to see how it looked in a game and I imagine he knows it needs a little work now. This is the best time to find out.

Re: "Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"
 

Campbell proved to me last night why we don't throw the deep ball. If he would have thrown that first ball to the left (which is how it should be done) Kelly could have run under the ball then its all on him. Same thing with the second pass but to the right. If you think about it we only had one drive and if we did not have a fake punt (which we would not have done in a real game form there) we had three 3 and outs. I hope JC snaps out of this but so far he has pretty much sucked. I would like to see Collins get the start next week and see what he can do with the starters. If not that leave JC in until he can score a TD.

Exactly, Im a JC supporter, but the time is now. The expectations everyone talked about in the offseason is here. I expect a much better game next week from JC period.
