Campbell Questions

My biggest concern is Campbell missing game changing deep TDs with overthrows. He missed a wide-open Moss on a bomb to ice the first Philly game. He missed a wide open Lloyd to take the lead in the 4th quarter against GB. And he missed a wide open Moss for the lead against Dallas just after the 2 minute warning yesterday. I'm convinced that he will be an elite QB, but he MUST start hitting game changing plays when they're there for the taking. A defense might break down only a handful of times a game. I saw Romo hitting for TDs whenever our D broke down. Campbell has to start doing the same.

I completely agree. Yesterday's fumble can't be attributed to JC's problems with protecting the football, such as he had in the Patriots game. Sometimes your quarterback is going to get blindsided, and no quarterback is immune from a fumble when that happens. Secondly, I also think that putting the soft touch on the deep balls for receivers that have a step or two on the defender is the bigger problem for him. No doubt, he had receivers reaching behind them for his passes several times yesterday, but he did in fact make some nice leads on some down-field and sideline passes (by the way, how great was it to see us throwing over the middle! First time in three years!). However, he again, as Aikman pointed out, couldn't make a touch pass on the deep routes. That's what he really needs help with.
