Re: Campbell's Shortcoming

He'll clean the fumble thing up. That's really a function of him trying to make plays down the field right up until the last second which is a good thing. He'll learn when he needs to secure the ball better over time.

What is a concern for me is his propensity to decide which receiver he's going to throw to before the snap and then not come off that guy. The ability to get to second and third reads is the difference between Joe Montana and Tony Banks. It is the single most impoprtant attribute an NFL QB can have. Its' more important than arm strength, mobility, or even accuracy. You have to be able to see the entire field. Sometimes it seems like Campbell has this intangible and other times it seems he doesn't. I guess the jury is still out.

Gibbs has always understood that this quality is a rare one and that is one reason he emphasizes the running game so much. A team that can run the ball can put it's QB in situations where the reads are simpler and his chances for failure are greatly reduced. The offensive line and the running game have done a lousy job (with a few exceptions like the Jets game) of helping the young guy out.
