People are also forgetting that he also threw 2 huge touchdowns that ultimately put up the points that won the game for us.
I mean yes obviously people are concerned (as am I) that when we start playing legit teams (aka not the Bucs) that the type of game we had today will make us lose, but people also forget that there is time to learn from mistakes and as his 1 career 3 pick game shows, this is more of an anomaly than a regular occurence.

I completely agree. Jay Cutler throws a three pick game, it's an anomoly. He'll bounce back. Brett Favre throws a three pick game and he's a gunslinger, courageous, a winner. Tony Romo throws for three picks in a win, he's "gutsy". You know, he has all the intangibles to be great.
Jason Campbell throws his first three pick of his career, he should be benched, and displays bad judgement. Yeah right. I suspect that Jason won the respect and admiration, not that he didn't already have it, of his teammates after today's performance.
On a somewhat related note, it was great to see the guys on the sideline getting stirred up. I saw Portis on a couple of occasions getting fired up.
