He's been in the league for three years, showed us the exact same game he showed in college, he can be a decent QB and can win, but he is not a pro bowler and never will be. The whole league has this feeling that he has all the tools but they're taking a wait and see approach to lead a team, unfortunately there isn't much left to know about him. He's one of those guys the league is always basing his performance of expectatiosn and potential rather then just simply what it is, he's a decent QB he can be our starting QB but there's a lot of better ones out there.

I wish I had the sources you have around the "whole league". As most of the JC bashers, your analysis isn't based on any logic, stats or football knowledge. It's just a bunch of the same negative buzz-words/phrases parroted by those who want to be able to say "I told you so" when Campbell struggles. But, you same guys are going to be nowhere to be found when Campbell raises his QB rating into the 90s if we solidify the OL.
Here's the bottom line, as the OL goes, so goes any offense. If an OL struggles I don't care who is at QB, they will struggle. Peyton Manning struggled early in the year with the OL injuries in Indy. To those saying JC doesn't have the
potential to be a borderline Pro Bowler, still haven't seen a valid dispute to his Pro Bowl level numbers early in the year.
To your Portis comment: see above, Portis is nowhere near the best RB in the league. He is very good, very solid, but his YPC went drastically south (just like any RBs would) when the OL broke down.
To your Moss comment: If you check, Moss was targeted more than any other Skins WR this year, so he's getting the looks. I also said the Skins WR
corps was
below average. This is an accurate statement. Here are the teams with better WRs than the Skins:
Giants, Cowboys, Panthers, Falcons, Bucs, Saints, Packers, Lions, Rams, Cards, Chargers, Broncos, Pats, Colts, Texans, Steelers, Ravens, Bengals, Browns.
These are debatable: Titans, Jets, Vikes, Eagles
That puts us as below average. Moss is not a dominant # 1 receiver. ARE is a 3rd WR at best and the rest are either unproductive rookies or career backups.
