If we don't get Cutler, should we extend Campbell?

If Cutler comes in, it simply means Zorn's job is now on the line (who would NOT be speculating about Shanahan especially if we go 8-8 or so). The offense would have yet another new issue, and all the other issues that arise.

God I hope this doesn't happen. But even so, it would seem the belief that DS had learned from Gibbs was sadly misplaced.

Good Point. I totally agree with you on both your post. Another example is the Giants won the Superbowl with E. Manning. He isn't a great QB. Big Ben had the worse season of his career this year and the Steelers still won a superbowl.

I don't see the offense becoming more explosive just by bring in Culter and not upgrading in other areas. I still don't see the team winning more than nine gamesjust by bringing in Culter. I don't even see the skins making it to the playoff just by changing QB and not making changes elsewhere.

Some skin fans act like the teams is only a QB away from winning a superbowl.
Collins had like a 102 rating in 07 season and still couldn't get the skins past the first round of the playoffs. So why do some skins fan think by just getting a new QB all of sudden the skins will win a superbowl.

I not a fan of giving up draft picks just to get Culter. I rather keep Campbell and use draft picks to upgrade other areas of need. I rather use the draft picks to upgrade other positions and let Campbell finish out next season and if FO isn't satisfied with his performance then let him go and pursue a QB in '10.


The skins can win with Campbell. He may not be the next Brady, P. Manning or Marino, but so what. Plenty of teams don't have a those type of QBs, but still consistently make the playoffs and even win Superbowls. He isn't awful. Everyone complaining about he can't read defense and has a slow release. He was doing a pretty good job when they were 6-2. I don't think the 2-6 ending was due to Campbell not all of sudden being able to read defense. I think it had to do with his number #1 wideout being injured and not been able to get open; both R&Bs being injured; Samuels being injured; and playcalling become predicatable. Btw I also don't see where Campbell release is slower than most starting QBs in the league.
