I guess the option we have is, do we want a guy that isn't going to throw the ball down field into double coverage just for a possible completion or more like a pick (Jake Delhoume, Jay Cutler, Brett Favre) or someone that is going to see its not there, check down and try another shot later in the game? There is a lot of risk reward with throwing deep, and yes he has missed a couple of throws, but I think once he gets confidence in Kelly and Thomas we'll see a lot more deep balls over the season, then the offense will be one of the best in the league.

Though that sounds great I think this is a unrealistic fantasy. I just don't see how a team gets 100% better on their worst aspect.

What you're talking about would take a Hollywood montage to accomplish. I can see them connecting a little more and then perhaps becoming 10-20% more efficient but as for becoming one of the league's best...that is laughable.

Also Campbell's deep accuracy is terrible so that makes this hopeful outcome even more bleak.
