Don't count out the two main factors here:

1) Campbell has bailed out the OL many, many times in the past, but not so much the last two games.

2) Teams who blitz Campbell generally get burned.

The Steelers got to us a lot with 5, and generally confused Campbell. Meanwhile, the Cowboys just covered all options down the field and forced Campbell to run or eat the ball. When Campbell's really getting whacked a lot, you can see that he still is confused on some of his more advanced reads. Actually, that's a problem for most quarterbacks. Campbell still has unbelievable pocket presence for someone his age, and his decision making when he's getting killed is usually less than ideal, but normally, it doesn't result in INTs, and that's what separates him from the pack.
