Because the Quarterback can take on the responsibility of the offensive line in the passing game. A good QB (like Campbell) always knows how much time he has to get rid of the football.

Now if people start missing their protections and someone comes free, the QB can't really do anything except get rid of the ball. But even with an untalented offensive line, a passing offense can still be successful if the QB does an outstanding job.

Truth is that a QB is more likely to make a mistake when you get pressure on him, so you want to cut down on the passing game with no line, but it makes more sense than running behind no one. Admittedly, this is very very hard for a young QB to do, and still be successful, but most veterans don't seem to have a problem with it.
