Mark Sanchez at 13th?

Like it or not, the stakes are much higher for Zorn if Campbell is here. Realistically, given the level of patience in the modern NFL (and our owners impatience in particular), anything less than 11-5 or an NFC championship game appearance and we're starting from scratch in 2010. Given JCs complete lack of natural suitability for this offense, and the other holes we have on this team, do you really think thats a likely outcome?

I think you are GROSSLY overstating what will be required for year 3 of Zorn/Campbell. No owner, even Snyder, is going to fire a coach with a .500 season and a winning season as their first two seasons. Again, it amazes me the way some of you guys talk, like we're coming off of a 2-14 season or something. We won ONE less game than the previous season, and you could put 3 of them (Rams, Bengals, Niners) squarely on the defense. The funniest, most ironic thing is the lack of patience and foresight you kill the front office of is the justification for mortgaging the future because you're unhappy with consistent progress.

Maybe, if he were only entering his 2nd or 3rd year in the league... but not his 5th. Campbell is close to realizing his potential. Theres not that much more room for improvement, atleast not in this system. My #1 hope is that this team drafts a rookie WCO QB (quick release, good decionsmaker, extremely accurate with short passes) and then keeps the system in place for him atleast 3-4 years. Blame it on whatever and whomever you want, but Campbell is damaged goods and will never become a franchise QB in this system. IMO Its time to cut our losses and move on.

It's Campbell's 3rd year as a starter. His first year was a wash. He didn't touch the field and that offense was scrapped, how can you count that? He played midway thru his second season, started all of his third and all of his 4th. Why are you in such a hurry to throw dirt on his grave as a QB? The argument of "he's not a fit for the WCO" just doesn't hold water. Completion percentage-up. Yards-up. TD-up. INT-down. What's your criteria for 'not a good fit'?

Its so obvious, Sanchez went to USC, Campbell didn't lock it up man. Say it with me: CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
