What else do you want from the guy at this point?

I totally agree with you. JC has not played that bad. He has made 2 or 3 mistakes here and there but every QB makes mistakes. Even Manning and Peyton and I am not comparing JC to them. When receivers stop dropping TD passes or passes in general then you can draw whatever conclusion you like. This was happening for the past tow years if you can recall. But we have to have patience. Honestly Campbell is better than some of the QBs we have had here in the last 10 years as far as potential. He just doesn't get a fair chance. He has a season and almost a half worth of games.

QBs have a short leash here because us as fans sometimes have unrealitisc expectations. We can't go to the Superbowl every year. MOST Qbs need time to develop. Those that come in and are gangbusters from the beginning is really an anomaly. Most QBs have stability in one system for years. Not a different OC every year.

The season is young. People need to allow him to make mistakes and not be overly critical that is the only way he will learn and reach his true potential. I am not a JC apologist. Just being realistic. Defense and running game lend alot to the development of a QB. As well as stabilty. So take that into consideration when you compare JC to Flacco, Ryan or Sanchez. On another that note. Sanchez has played well. But he hasn't neccessarily had to put the team on his back. Ryan had a top ranked running game and a sloid defense. Flacco has an awesome defense and a decent running game. When you have these things its easier to win as a QB because everything is not on your shoulders.
