When a QB is older and wiser, and has been in the offense for a while, like Trent Green, then you can send 5 guys out and the QB can probably make the reads and decisions fast enough to beat the pass rush. But a young QB like Campbell is slower to read and react, and needs more time than that. He'll end up holding onto the ball too long and taking mad sacks, or he'll end up making bad decisions and getting picked.

I strongly favor Gibbs' approach for the sake of a young QB's development. Max protect is your friend. Win the game on the ground, and take your shots through the air without sacrificing protection.

Gibbs acts like JC is a frickin little baby. He needs to stop coddleling him. Sending 3 guys out on 3rd down is outdated. JC STARTED AT AURBURN FOR 4 YEARS. He can handle it. In certain situations you can send out 5 guys. Like on 1st down? Not all the time but some of the time you have to do it. This is why we don't score enough TD's becasue our offense is too conservative. Or how about running a hurry up offense next year some of the time? I watched Pennington do it and he can't even throw the ball. We need to diversify the offense.
