"Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"

And I still can't figure out why it's so hard for people to correlate the fact that the offensive production went downhill last season, when the line started falling apart. Portis' production fell off significantly too. It's hard to produce any kind of offense behind a beat up offensive line.

It's easy to want to defend Jason Campbell as a person, but defending his play on the field is a lot harder to do. Everyone wants to root for him, but his production and consistency just isn't good enough. I want to be a homer just like everyone else, but I think it hit me this preseason that Campbell is just not good enough. If his offseason didn't motivate him enough to have a good showing in preseason to this point (to prove himself to the team), I don't know what will.
