I'm not expecting Campbell to come in and look like Peyton. I for one, am accepting of the fact that all quarterbacks playing for the first time struggle. It's a universal theory. There are a few that come in and play excellent, but those are extremely rare. Look at Roethlisberger, does anyone think he is still a good quarterback just because he won a super bowl? He played excellent as a rookie, now he's throwing four picks a game to the Raiders of all teams. If Campbell comes in and tosses 3 picks, so be it. It's the growing pains all young quarterbacks go through. For another point, look at Alex Smith. He threw all of one touchdown pass last year against like 11 interceptions, or something like that. He's already thrown for 10 touchdowns this year.
