I honestly believe that if Cutler hadn't have been available we wouldn't be on Sanchez now. Danny didn't get what he wanted in Cutler, now he's been tantalized by the taste of a flashy QB and he sees a QB (marquee position) from USC (marquee program) and he's got the starry eyes.

At this point, I almost want Campbell to go somewhere else and blossom into a star just to prove how ridiculous and impatient our fan base and ownership are. Some people think Campbell has peaked, I think he's far from his peak. I keep drawing the correlation between his first couple of years and Drew Brees first couple of years, very similar on the field and off. I'd hate to have that kind of production being racked up elsewhere down the road but it would serve us right.

I hear you, but how long should you have to wait in this league? Falcons fans didn't have to wait as long as we have. At some point JC will have to make things happen with what he has around him. Other QBs have done more with less. We can't wait for perfect surroundings for JC before he shows us something more than we've seen.

I'm not saying dump Campbell in favor of Sanchez, but this year has to be put up or shut up. No more excuses.

Ask San Diego fans if they waited long enough on Brees. Did we wait long enough on Trent Green? It's been 2.5 years starting, what exactly did you expect? It's called DEVELOPING YOUR PLAYERS. We all cry and whine about wasted draft picks, hell what do you think you're going to get with all of those picks, Pro Bowl ready players every time?

We won 8 games last year and had the defense not crapped away the St. Louis, Cincy and SF games we would have been in the playoffs. It truly amazes me that some of you guys act like Campbell was out there losing games for us left and right.

Seriously, you can't compare all rookie QB to the Falcons or Ravens last year, those were historical anomalies. In both cases, they were game managers supported by a great running game (Atlanta) and a great defense (Baltimore). Please don't be fooled into believing they were the reason they were playoff teams.
