Colt Brennan = Timmy Chang, what have you seen to make you believe CB will be successful as an NFL starter?

If he really has this lightning fast decision making that Florio speaks of, he's an upgrade over Campbell by default. One of the many reasons Campbell is a horrible fit here is he can't make decisions quickly enough. He also lconsistently locks on to his receivers and is cripplingly (is that a word?) to take a chance - Leftwich would be an upgrade in those areas as well.

Leftwich is not an upgrade over Campbell. I don't accept the premise that Campbell "can't make decisions quickly" or "locks on" moreso than any other QB in his situation. These are very general statements that aren't quantified or backed up by any evidence.

Campbell would thrive anywhere that relies on a power running game and Coryell-esque passing game.

Gibbs ran that system and JC's QB rating was much less. He's not particularly accurate downfield.
