What worries you most?

im worried about jason campbell and the D.

[GusFrerotte]

JC is the biggest worry by far. Guy played fine for the most part, but statistically wasn't much better than Brunell. If he does have marked improvement that will rock, but then my other big worry is that Lloyd and Randle El will underachieve again. I am not worried about our LB corp or secondary. I think they will be solid, but if our D line gets no pass rush we will be lit up for big plays every game.

I still don't blame Lloyd and ARE, when you have a poor QB, you will perform poorly. This year will be different.

cool, but remember that JC put up those stats (similar to MB's) in his 1st 7 starts. Whereas MB is an old vet.
I'm not worried about campbell, I'm excited to see him develop.

My main worry is the LB corps like 724 said. I know the team upgraded w/London, but we still are hoping that MW is back to normal & Rocky shows up the way he should. These guys are being counted on to make the majority of plays.

the thing about JC stats and brunell stats is that atleast JC threw the ball over the line of scrimmage. instead to the sideline or behind the line of scrimmage. JC gave the skins a threat of throwing the ball downfield

I absolutely agree. I am sick of the 5-10 yard throws.

Umm...my pathetic little brain hurts.

The thing about those stats, units of measurement of production, is that the ball was thrown in a different spot (allegedly), and this somehow invalidates said stats?

You too, defend yourself!

I guess I'm just going to spend all night calling out people for weird statements. If thats what floats my boat...

For everyone that thinks Campbell is our key, do you think we'll be OK if he produces right around 3000 yards, 22 or 23 TDS and 13 or 14 int's?
I've heard plenty of people say that is what they are expecting...so I ask, is this what you're expecting?

Those numbers would show the type of progression that I would like him to make. And his starts last year indicated that you're probably right on.

What I want to know is how will those numbers translate into wins. And furthermore, will those numbers overcome another anemic defensive year?

I don't think those numbers I mentioned are unrealistic at all, those are the exact averages (over a full season) he had in his 7 games last year.

I'd like to see around 3500 yards and a few rushing td's. If he can be between 58-60% we'll look great.

Well, in his 7 games last year he threw for 1300 yards. Over a 16 game season, that projects to 2970 yards.

In his 7 games, he threw for 10 TDs. Over a 16 game season, that projects to 23 TDs.

In his 7 games, he threw for 6 INTs. Over 16 games, that projects to 14 INTs.

So even without any improvement, yes, Campbell should match the numbers you've listed. I expect him to improve though. I also expect defenses to adjust to him. I'll say:

3200 yards, 22 TD, 12 INT. With 400 rushing yards and 3 Rush TD. Those numbers are solid, but if he puts up those numbers with a 54% completion percentage, I don't think we'll do better than 8-8. If he puts up those numbers with a 58% or so, I think we'll go 10-6. He'll amass the stats because he can give you big plays that Brunell can't; the question is will he steadily move us with consistent completions, or will he be inconsistent with accuracy?

[Monksdown]

400 yards rushing seems high to me. But that breaks down to 25 a game. I suppose he could do that. Are you thinking he's scrambling getting those, or that he will have plays designed for him to run if he cant see someone quickly?

lloyd stunk in SF. we overpaid for him.

I recall him laying out for several overthrown balls last year...I think he was frustrated with no one throwing to him, and I don't blame him too much. Hard to be a good WR when the ball doesn't come in your direction.
I say this is his make or break year. If he sucks again, he's gone and will never surface anywhere, but if he shows up we'll look like genius's

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

yea 10 million bonus for no td's and 25 catches. He never caught 50 balls in sf. He a trouble maker. Believe me i want him to do well but he still is a problem. We could have spent the money on some other player.
