I think either way is wrong :^) I'm an "actual play" person his actual play has been timid overall, full of fundamental mistakes in techinque, with inconsistent, flashes of elevated play (some of which uncannilly seem to happen late in games that are already out of hand). While still exhibiting mistakes that we all know he's been coached repeatedly on. So it appears he may very well carry these bad fundamentals through his whole career.

The key thing is not for the Skins to pull JC because he's not 'mediocre' enough on a consistent basis, it's to start planing on who to replace him with because he's not 'franchise' enough. There are plenty of middling game managers who can play consistently unspectacular football. Hell one of them is backing up JC every game, and at times has looked better than Campbell. We didn't trade up to draft a mediocre game manager in the first round, and at this point he's not even at that level (consistently). Fair or not JC will be judged on that basis, as a top draft pick who needs to be a franchise QB to be considered successful here... Holding him to a whole other (lower) standard and then saying his stats don't lie, seems to be the product of fans who are maybe too emotionally invested in Campbell and can't see the reality, or perhaps don't have access to the games to actually see his play.
