I'm sure some Colts fans were saying this after their QB's 28 INTs in 1998 and 100 INTs in the first 5 years of his career.

Most sucessful QBs have developed over a 5+ year period. We've been throwing away QBs far too frequently since Mark Rypien left town. It's clear that the offensive line is a giant gaping hole in our team and I still think Campbell can excel with some help. He should be given the opportunity at least and if he can't play well with a line (he's already shown he can, see last season's first half), then we should move on to the next project. We'll never find a franchise QB by keeping every one of them on such a short leash and not giving them the tools and protection to succeed. With the current line (play played well vs. Denver though), we're lucky that our QB has good mobility, or we could be suffering through far worse than a 3-6 record.

Yeah Peyton had alot of picks in his first yr but he also never threw less than 26 TD's in a season. There is promise there, especially when he went from 28 ints to 15 the next yr with the same number of td's.Plus they went 3-13 in the first season and 13-3 the next so why would you doubt your QB in that situation???

I suspect they werent saying much since Manning had 138 TDs and over 20000 yards passing in his first 5 years.

Heck, Manning had almost ad many TD passes in his 3rd year alone (33) than JC has in his entire career (45).
