I think it's finally the system JC is best in, and one in which he understood in college. but, I will also say I think Zorn has a lot to do with this. This is what JLC from the Post had to say:
Let's take out all of the great stuff JC did, and just look at what he didn't do. Dude has made, what, 20 starts? That's it. And so far this year he has curbed the biggest problem that plagued him in his 10 starts last year: Turnovers.
Two games. No picks. No fumbles. That's over a span of 63 attempts, peeps. Let's not forget that. Remember a year ago when it took like 10 weeks for a WR to catch a TD pass? Well, Moss has two of them already this year, and none was bigger than the 67-yarder Sunday. Ten different Skins have already caught passes from JC this season.

I remember a lot of people saying Campbell was,nt a WCO type of quarterback. He was a, drop back stay in the pocket big armed quarterback who was'nt suited for the WCO. Zorn is finding a way to adjust to Campbell and still use the WCO. Zorn has been a big influence on Campbell in a very positive way. I think Zorn is the best thing to happen to Campbell in a very long time.

Yeah, as much as I support Zorn this is pretty ridiculous. Hasselbeck has been a top 10 QB in this league for 5 years or more. Let's let him get healthy and get at least one of his top 4 targets back before we reductively attribute all the big plays he's made over this decade to the coaching of one man.

Correlation does not equal causation?
Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a
charm.
Lisa: That's spacious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: Thank you, dear.
Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Oh, how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn't work.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: It's just a stupid rock.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you?
[Homer thinks of this, then pulls out some money]
Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.
(could use it in the AIG thread as well, I suppose)

Need to give this claim the full season to verify it.

Does 2 games even equal correlation?

Of course not and even if the full season plays there is no way to eliminate lurking variables.

I agree that Hasselback should not be blamed and has not forgotten his lessons from Zorn.
I agree as well with the comment that we need a longer-term picture of JC in order to clearly perceive the nature of his Zorniness.
I strongly agree with the comment quoted above. JC so far has cut out the turnovers. And wideouts actually catch touchdown passes (who knew?).
A kickin' defense and a qb who guards the ball well is a venerable recipe for Redskin success. If JC keeps up the turnover-stinginess we will win many games.

If they lose to the Rams which is a possibility since the Rams owner basically said someone is gonna get fired if we don't win then the Seahawks might be in trouble. Losing to the -49'ers and the Rams means the fat lady is backstage.

Agree 100%. Imagine Campbell throwing to Brandon Lloyd and a tackling dummy and that's probably what it's like for Hasselbeck.
Or take 3 xanax bars and play frogger on the highway at 5:00 pm. Matt Hasselback has no help right now, but for now I'm willing to tip the scales in favor of Zorn being a great QB coach.
Then again did anyone see a quote from Jason Campbell in the paper saying that Zorn was making stuff to complicated?
