Moss, Randle El, and surprisingly, Portis were the biggest culprits. Moss was second in the NFL in drops behind Braylon Edwards, although, far behind Edwards and he wasn't in the top ten in terms of drop percentage (though Randle El was). Campbell was also (excluding only J. Garcia, who voluntarily runs into pressure) the most valuable passer in the league when he was pressured last year.
None of this says anything we didn't already know about Campbell, just further reinforces it.

Well I think his accuracy rating is inflated because of all the many times he threw a 5 yard completion on 3rd and 12.
