Al Saunders system might not have been the best fit for Campbell and if you want to see Campbell and his accuracy check out that SEC Championship game. Here is a link.

WOW. I didn't see that game, but just watched both the clips. If I had to be honest, Campbell was really not all that impressive in those highlights. Especially considering the stats he put up. Almost all of his big plays were when Tennesee didn't pressure him at all and the DB play was horrible. When he was pressured, he was mostly indecisive and usually either threw it away or forced it in to a bad situation. He sure was bailed out a lot by DB penalites... I don't think he'd get away with half of that against an NFL defense. I'm not a Campbell hater for sure, but I came away from those video clips very disappointed. If that is the best game of his college career, then our scouting folks need to be fired. Yikes.
