on a side note WELCOME PUDGE!

I think if your looking for some perspective on Jason Campbell, they've summed him up pretty well. I'll run a quick pro's and con's for ya...

The Good

1)Jason's best quality thus far has been his incredible poise in the pocket. Under pressure he has shown to be competive. He's broken several tackles, avoided sacks, scrambled for first downs, and gotten the ball off in a relatively timely fashion.

2)He has a very powerful arm, giving our offense (which lacked the deep ball under Brunell) a new dimension that defenses have to respect. ESPN's "Jaws" breaks down his first start here: To Analyze Campbell, 'Jaws' Goes Straight to Video - washingtonpost.com

3)Campbell hasn't thrown those costly INT's. Most of everyone (including me) optimistically assumed that he would throw several picks in his first few games. Thus far, he has proven everyone wrong, and hasn't committed those costly turnovers.

The Bad

1) Jason tends to hold on the ball a little to long sometimes, but Saunders appears to have instituted a "max protect" scheme in order to give him some extra time.

2) Some are worried that his release is a hair too long, and that may cause him issues when pressured (ie, ball stripped, d-line anticipating the throws and deflecting the passes, etc...). So far it's been a very minor problem, but remains an issue.

3) He's young. He may make mistakes, and hasn't seen every NFL defense. Once again, this has yet to be seen as a major factor.
