Re: Cutler vs Campbell stats
Everyone is ready to abandon ship. Give up on Campbell, get rid of Gibbs, run Portis out of town. Campbell has now started 16 games, the rule of thumb for NFL QBs is that you really won't know what you have until start number 30. Campbell is a smart player who has made some really good decisions at times this season. He has also missed some big throws and that is probably the most troubling thing about him right now. He missed Moss yesterday on a throw that would have been a first down and he had the three fumbles. Basically everyone sucked yesterday, though, and I'm not sure what value you can really take from that game.
I also don't really see the value in comparing Cutler and Campbell. Why those two QBs? They weren't even in the same draft class, they play in different offenses, etc. Why not compare him to Leinart, or Young, or Alex Smith, or (if you're feeling particularly morbid, which I gather many of you are) Derek Anderson. Anderson came out in the 2005 draft and he has thrown 17 tds and 8 ints for Cleveland this season. It's irrelevant. This isn't about any other QB except for Jason Campbell. No one else matters, comparing him to anyone else makes no difference whatsoever. I still think Campbell is the guy to lead this team. The whole offense sucks right now, but before yesterday that had very little to do with Jason Campbell. I am willing to bet that a lot of QBs making their 14th start against Bill Belichick would look pretty confused. He's done it to more accomplished QBs than Campbell, that's for sure. The guy is a world class a-hole, but he is also a world class game planner.
