Campbell's numbers dont lie

He wasn't sacked very much the first 4 games either. I take issue with people, like Theismann, who claim Campbell has been running for his life since game 1 and couldn't dare be expected to perform at a high level.

Until Samuels went down, Campbell had plenty of time to throw. Especially against pathetic Defenses like the Chiefs, Lions and at the time, the Panthers.

I admit, he has looked great (not just good). But I would credit Sherm and Campbell for the improved play. The very first game Sherm was calling games, we saw JC in shotgun and 3-4 wide receiver formations from within the 10 yard line. And against the Saints, the Skins had one drive where they didn't run the ball once. They went 78 yards in 7 plays, ALL PASSES. There was an immediate and noticeable difference when Sherm took over.

That said, I can only conclude that Zorn was doing a poor job of play calling and maximizing his players potential. Not playing the rooks last year was also stupid. They can obviously play. Once they were out of the playoff hunt last year, Zorn should have given the young guys a heavy dose of playing time.
