They are taught to read deep to short. He should have checked McCardell first and then gone to Betts. Perhaps he saw something pre-snap that caused him to throw quickly to Betts. I think the larger point is that young QBs will make mistakes, so you can't put too much of the game on their shoulders. You have to lighten the load by running the ball. When you can run the ball, you can put Campbell in situations where he is unlikely to fail.

Gibbs suppossedly went back Monday and talked about what the team needs to do win and I suspect that this a large part of the formula. We have to be a running team. (Period)
