Campbell's development curve

[JWsleep]

No run game, beat up o-line, hamstrung WRs with dropitis, and some tough Ds--don't know how much sending JC into a deep shot-gun drop will help. But we'll see. He's got to improve his reads and his accuracy, but that will come, IMO.

I've liked him all year in 2-minute--maybe we'll start to see a bit more of that, some no huddle and such. But it's a long-term growth process. Asking him to win it all by himslef now won't do it, I think. But as the coaches get more confidence in him, he'll get more plays.

Jason has started to regress a little, if you look at the Patriots and Cardinals games. He's overthrown wide-open receivers in each of the past three games, and his three fumbles yesterday were sloppy. Of course the weakened offensive line came into play there.

He needs to shrug off the past two games, and Saunders needs to call a more wide-open game against the Jets. Our offense is very bad and hard to watch right now. Campbell will be a very good QB, but right now, we're stuck in neutral.

Why do people equate opening up the offense to 'deep shotgun drop' or 'throwing bombs every play'? Yes, there is a significant vertical aspect to that but opening up the offense also means-
-Running the no huddle in non 2 minute drill situations
-Throwing the ball intermediately rather than 4 yard outs
-Designed roll outs
-Being unpredictable on 1st and 2nd down

Pain nice job with this, I haven't been overly impressed with Campbell but to be fair with the kid how much can be laid at Gibbs door step? We see the same problems with every QB that comes in, I think Gibbs has lost his mind at this point he is paranoid with conservative offense, playing not to lose is for losers, period!

I completely agree....combine that with shotgun to protect him...run some portis draws too....hold back portis iin to protect with a late release.
