Year two he ran the scout team. Either way he DID NOT get any reps w/ Moss, Cooley, Lloyd and ARE. No game experience and had to learn yet another offense. What Qb would come in and complete 60% and have a high rating in this situation? Not many if any. I think if you would stop just looking at completion % and rating you would see some of the good things the guy did. What were we suppose to do? Leave in Brunell? C'mon.

The coaches did the right thing...even if they cost us a few wins, that pales in comparision to the value of getting the young guy out on the field in a lost season. Once the season became lost, it was really a no brainer.
I was not expecting him to come in and set the world on fire. I was just hoping to see more than just a small glimpse of what he is capable of. I was hoping to see Campbell put up Brunell like numbers, something I know he is capable of. I was frusterated when he was forcing the ball, something that is totally uncharacteristic of a great QB no matter how far along he is in his development.
