I do not think you have been watching the same games I've watched. Campbell was very efficient and productive in the first half of the season. He had a very good run game and the play calling caught other teams off guard. In the second half of the season, a few things happened. The scheduled got tougher and the Skins faced division opponents the second time around and the plays that worked the first time around were ineffective. The running game stalled and put more pressure was put on the passing game. Campbell had only two reliable targets, Moss and Cooley. Defenses like the Cowboys, Eagles, Giants and Steelers exploited the lack of weapons and the pass protection broke down. To come down completely on Campbell is unfair. He can make improvements, but the entire offense and scheme needs to improve. Bringing in a scrub like Cutler, Sanchez or even Vick is not going to fix the problem.
