Will Jason Campbell return?

Plus, as I tried to show above, if you take your exact same metrics and apply them to everybody's favorite Super Bowl winning QB you get basically the same outcome. And if it is statistical "progress" you are looking for then you don't get that with Roethlisberger's first three seasons either. He didn't make a "big jump" statistically until year four and then dropped back down (regressed to the mean?) last year.

That's the part i'm worried about. Quarterbacks make WR's better, and the offensive line makes a QB better. So my chain of logic is this. Does Derrick Dockery solve our OL issues from last year(one guy goes down and we don't have adequate depth)?

Are we hinging Jason's success on his abilities, or the progress of our often injured 2nd round draft class of last year.

I think QB's that make minimal progress every year need substantial help from the cast around them. And i don't see that improvement on offense. Therefore, i can't predict success.
