Going into the season with him as the starting QB scares me senseless.
That said, I'm going to make an arguement in his favor: TD to INT ratio.
It is the most important QB stat and the most under appreciated. MB put up a 2/1 TD/INT last year. With the new WRs and current rules Ray Charles would be able to find somebody open to throw the ball to.
That said MB is a bit long in the tooth and that means he will bounce back from hits more slowly and has a greater probability of going down.
There is at least a 1 in 3 shot we see JC as a starter at some point this season -- but I don't see it happening (without injury) opening night.
If JC does get any significant playing time, it will be very interesting to see how he is managed. Will it be the approach that was taken with Manning in NY or Rothlesberger in PIT?

Chad Pennington is a guy who sat 2 whole seasons and 5 games extra before he got his first start. He came right out and played well in his first start. He would be one of the best around if he didn't tear his rotator cuff twice.
I expect the same type of thing from Campbell unless Brunell retires after this year.
