Haha. Interesting banter & bickering. Regarding Cutler -- I think he's clearly better than Campbell, but it's arguable whether the price would be worth it. Honestly the franchise is better off sticking with Campbell -- *IF* Campbell does well, then we save a bunch of first round picks we could use for OLine, LB, RB, etc.. over the next years.

Remember, all we need is a decent offense to go along with an elite defense.

And I actually agree w/GTripp -- Campbell did NOT look that bad yesterday. We had a great drive, and he loosened up the defense with the long pass attempts. Those long passes allowed Portis to get extra yards.

He threw a a first down to Cooley when we needed it. He threw a decent (but slightly high) ball to Moss who let it slip through his hands. Two deep incompletions. Two passes into the ground because of blown plays. If Zorn wanted to see him throw, he could have called passing plays, but instead there were few passes to evaluate him.

Next game we'll be able to see Campbell more, and I think he'll impress.
