Campbell did make strides from 06 to 07 and he needs to do just as much if not more from 07 to 08.

Good points by you and SC both in this thread. Since no one asked for my imput, here it is:
IMO, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to seperate games from other games based on perceived circumstance. It's hard enough to get enough of a sample using all the games we have. So looking at the whole picture, Campbell made significant strides, as expected from his first year as a starter.
It's probably going to take ten to twenty more starts before Campbell has enough experience to step into the top ten in the game. However, if he can just produce at last year's level for this season, the Redskins are totally capable of winning games.
Collins played very well over 4 and a half games for us, but that's all it was. He's a good backup, but once teams study the tape on his tendencies, he won't be producing at a higher level than Campbell would be.
We're going to have to be patient with JC. He's "still a year away" (from being elite), but that doesn't mean he won't be good in the short term.
