Jason Campbell: not too shabby, eh?

The fact that Campbell stares down receivers is a bit overstated. He was doing it a bit in preseason, but I have a feeling that had a lot to do with his comfort level in the new offense. He seems to be moving through his progressions a lot more quickly now, which is reinforced by the fact that he's hit 7+ receivers in the last two games.

I also noticed at least a few plays last week where he used the stigma of "staring down receivers" to his advantage. A couple of times, Campbell did lock on to a receiver, and give a vicious pump fake to shift the DB's. Then he turned and delivered the ball to the other side of the field. It was impressive, since I don't recall seeing him use the pump fake so effectively.
