Re: Cutler vs Campbell stats

Thankfully, Campbell's fumblitis hasn't cost us a game (yet), as 3 of his 4 FL's came in the New England game and we have to be honest with ourselves and know that he could have protected the ball all day long and we still would have lost handily the way the Pats were playing.

That said, with JC and CP, we have two of the top fumblers in the league right now. Add that to Santana's near-league-leading passes dropped stat and the fumble he lost that DID cost us a game, and it's easy to see why Campbell's numbers are lower than expected.

Beyond your O-Line, I think a QB's foundation are the triumvirate of his RB, TE, and WR1. If two of those positions are injured, playing the worst ball of their careers, dropping and/or coughing up the football, and underperforming in pretty much every way, it's hard to expect a QB to set the world on fire, at least a young QB like Campbell.
