Jason Campbell (Chances of Being Very Good)

[NFLNetwork]

Isn't there a website or company that compiles tons of numbers (by a specific players) as well as other statistics to calculate the chances that player being successful?? I wanted to get the numbers of Jason Campbell.

[That Guy]

yeah, football outsiders. it's basically just college starts and completion percentage. campbell has very good numbers, but i don't think he'll ever be as good as mcnabb etc... we'll see though.

Ron Jaworski felt that Campbell was going to be the best QB in his draft class.

That was because he thought that Campbell would goto the Eagles.

Which is really saying something since he came out with such great players as Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, and Charlie Frye ... oh wait ... I do, however, think Campbell is the truth and actually is the best out of those players for what ever that is worth.

Jason has all that you want in a quarterback. I think he is destined to be a great one. And a Super Bowl winning one at that.

That said, he hasn't had a full season at the helm yet, and he is going to have some bumps in the road this year, of course.

With any QB it is a gamble. Who would of thought Ryan Leaf would be such a bust. Did you think Heath Schuler would be that much of a bust. Trent Green, he could still be our QB now if we would of resigned him. I think the Jason Cambell is the answer but until he plays a few seasons nobody will know.

He's already better than Leaf and Schuler from last year's performance. This year he will hit the NFL by storm.......

You don't know how many annoying Giants fans have asked me who our starting QB is and don't we need a QB.......I need Campbell to perform and shut them up!!

You should probably not discuss football with people who don't know who the Redskin QB is...

What I don't get is how little respect Campbell gets from other NFL fans that I talk to. When asked about the Skins this season I invariably get, who's gonna play qb for ya dude, Jason Campbell. BUMMER. Now let's hit up taco night and scope out the babes (I know, I need new friends).

Anyway, you would think he wasn't a first round draft pick with a national championship pedigree. I expect very smart and solid play from him this year.

I can see how he gets over looked. There was not a ton of talk about him durn the draft. He then sat on the bench for a 1 1/2 years as people for got who he was. He then started 7 games after we had no chance of the playoffs and he did not get much media coverage except around the DC area. How many people turned to see the skins game except for skins fans and the other teams fans as we where a nonfactor when Campbell was playing and he only won 2 of the 7 games.

Well I think he's a lot better than Ben Roethlisberger, so if our D can return to form and our running game is good, I don't see why he can't take us to the SHOW sooner than everybody thinks. We'll just have to see how the season pans out.

The success or failure of a young NFL QB is very difficult to predict. Jason has the tools to be very effective. One thing is for certain, now that he's the starting QB, he'll have to grow up quickly because teams will be throwing everything at him early to see how he responds.

The pressure will be on this year different from last. Not a lot was expected of him coming on in the middle of the season. Being the starter from the beginning is a little different. He's the main reason why I'm looking foreward to going to the games this season.

[GTripp0012]

This is pretty much my territory, but theres little to add that hasnt already been said.

Thing is, Campbell is a great (99.9% accurate) QB prospect. The question is whether or not he can avoid the necessary evils and circumstances that he will face. If he gets a serious injury, it can derail his development and thus we'd have to adjust his projection accordingly. If he sustains irrepairable damage to his psychological well being, he may never be a good passer again.

Barring the extrememly improbable, Campbell will be a great QB for a very long time. That projection is only good though under relatively normal conditions. Change in the way that the quarterback position is played around the league could change how good Campbell will get.
