Is Jason Campbell Accountable for this Loss?

Every quarterback makes mistakes. This quarterback in particular is still young, and playing with a patchwork offensive line and a makeshift receiving core. The supposed "top two" receivers can't stay healthy, and one drops half the balls thrown his way.

And honestly, those picks are lumps he has to take. Campbell is very good in a two minute offense and in the red zone. Almost too good for his own good. Throwing the picks will help him to learn that he can't do EVERYTHING. It just sucks that it happens with the game on the line, but it is something he will learn from.

And let's not forget, the Bucs have the #1 defense in the NFC. They've made a lot of more established quarterbacks look bad too.

I am a big Campbell fan. I bought his jersey before last year's season when Brunell was the starter. In fact, there's no "J" on it because it was before we signed K. Campbell.

That said, I expect him to learn from his mistakes. We all read and admired how he cried after last week's game-losing interception. To make the same mistake twice in three minutes today shows he did not learn how to look off the hot receiver, run or throw away the ball.

If it comes down to the same situation next week, would he throw another INT? I want him to start learning how to win games during the last minute, not come close but lose.
