The Campbell Windup

Ok, Im not raining on the parade, it was a nice surprise win. Ya gotta love Campbell's poise, and he does throw a pretty long ball. His windup though concerns me. It seems like it takes that ball a REALLY long time to get out of his hands, and he might have some real problems with teams that blitz alot. What do you guys think?

Did you read the Jaworski review of him? They said his wind-up is most definitely nothing to worry about. It was stated it was about average for most QBs in the league.

But he also seems to have a good feel for the pocket, so hopefully that will help him avoid sacks if he does take a bit longer than normal to wind up.

I agree, he has a buggywhip delivery and takes forever to throw some passes. Hopefully this wont be too big of an issue as he develops.

Christ! The poor QB will never EVER be fully loved!

Straight from Jaws:

"I think he drops it a hair low here, but nothing I'd be overly concerned with," he says. "I played with Randall Cunningham for a few years, and Randall had a real big arc. . . . If you want to look at an elongated delivery, look at [Jacksonville's] Byron Leftwich. . . . This is not a major problem."

Yeah, I read the article and it did make me feel better, but man watching Campbell throw that arm back is like watching a robot! It really hasn't effected him the past 2 games, so maybe its not an issue, but I bet Atlanta blitzes the shit out of us next week and challenges how quickly he can get rid of the ball.

I know Jaws is old enough to have watched Billy Kilmer throw, and it took him five seconds just to wind up, suprisingly, his career lasted a long time. I'm going to adhere to that old addage "If it's not broke, don't fix it"

I don't know. It seems like Campbell is always rolling out, making it seem like his wind-up is more than it is. I'd be more worried about Carolina than Atlanta when it comes to the blitz.

I'M concerned about Atlanta's running game next week more than anything.

He's fine.

You want to see a wacky delivery? Look at Leftwich.
