There's No Quarterback Controversy

[The Goat]

On the one hand JLC's analysis is cogent, on the other hand it doesn't count for shit. Here's what I mean: we have a quarterback/quarterback's coach at the head of this ship. He knows exactly what he wants in a QB. Today Zorn is saying Jason is the guy because Jason, by all reasonable account, is the best option at QB today. Do I think what we hear/know as of today determines anything beyond this season? Nope.

Certainly our problems on offense do not center around an incompetent QB (at this point). The WR corp overall is just as pathetic as it's been for years. The line is only good against average/lousy defenses. Jason has few good targets and very little time to find them. But... any jackass can see Jason holds the ball way too long at this point to be a great QB. Come on, in this league, with the insane skill in coverage and pass rush lots of teams have, your QB has to be able to make a split second decision and rocket the pigskin on a string w/ near pinpoint accuracy to sustain many drives. I don't believe I've ever seen Jason Campbell do that, and if i'm wrong and he has then at least admit he's done it very rarely. Better targets and some consistent pass protection will tell the world whether Jason can be a great QB. But here's what i'm saying: Zorn may know the answer long before Jason has the perfect situation to work with. Zorn may well know the answer today...

I personally will not be surprised by any QB change that happens after this season, and on the flip side won't be surprised if nothing changes there. Zorn knows what he wants and knows what he's doing. Jason may or may not be the guy and we're just gonna have to wait and see.
