I've heard plenty of people say that is what they are expecting...so I ask, is this what you're expecting?

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?
