Btw, has he ever been 6-7 for 115 against a good defense?

I don't feel like I'm above this discussion, but if it devolves into a stupid comparison of what other quarterbacks did in their meaningless quarter of work, I have nothing of substance to add to a substanceless argument.
And yes, he has had 6-7, 100 yd stretches before against defenses like the Giants and Cowboys. As has Todd Collins. It's not a special accomplishment.
The problem is that Jason Campbell is being put on a "needs to produce" pedistal. Duh. So does everyone else. If other people are not producing, his job becomes more difficult. London Fletcher is under a ton of pressure to produce this year. Albert Haynesworth is probably under twice as much pressure as Fletcher. Both of them were involved on more plays yesterday than Campbell. And yet, not one thought about them?
There's other things to football besides harping on a meaningless sample performance by the QB. You and I know that. A few others do not seem to.
