Some Zorn Story...But It Hints at Campbell Getting Paid

Jay Cutler. Almost identical in accuracy last year.

What the stat doesn't tell you is that JC probably completed and attempted more passes under 10 yards than anyone in the NFL. And I bet JC attempted and competed fewer passes over 10 yards than anyone. Bottom line JC needs to stop being a game manager and take more chances so the offense has more production and scores more points. If he does that, and the guys around him play better then he'll be just fine.

Well, empirically, Campbell's average pass traveled not as far as Cutler's. Specifically, in the second half of the year, Campbell's average pass distance declined, due to all the reasons we've been complaining about since November.

So, no, he didn't dink and dunk more than anyone in the NFL. Not even close. But there's evidence that the Redskins tried to limit the amount of downfield passes Campbell threw once rushers started getting to him before the passes got off.

As to whether or not that made his accuracy, well, consider why that happened. It wasn't because the throws were getting less difficult.

So I guess your trying to say is that the O-line has to give him time to get the ball down field. The WR have to get some seperation and catch the ball.Zorn needs to call a good game plan to set up the big plays. It takes a entire offense to make a play work , if one player breaks that could be the difference between scoring a TD or a 10 yard play.

that is true and i said everyone around him needs to play better. but that includes the qb too.
