Sometimes he looks good, sometimes he looks bad, but overall I just don't think he's ever really been put in a good position for success in any of his seasons with the Redskins.

And yeah, I'd take him over Jay Cutler right now in a second.

So would anyone else, but a year ago, it would have been exactly the opposite.

Anyone could have looked at Cutler's stats last year and have seen a guy who definitely showed promise, but had not reached that next level yet. The more I looked and compared Campbell and Cutler last year, the less I could tell them apart. The difference is that Campbell has made significant (some...okay many, would disagree with my definition of 'significant') developmental strides in the face of adversity, and Cutler has just blamed others for his failures.

We'd be remiss if we didn't point out that the promise for Jay Cutler still exists, but the Bears have no high draft picks, and need to address three positions on the OL, get a complementary back, and one more wideout. IF Chicago does everything right, Cutler can get back to the pro bowl level he was at as soon as 2011. But that's two wasted years because the Bears (who easily could have been the Redskins) had no idea what made Cutler successful in Denver, and that's a problem.
