West Coast QBs are known for the quick release and quick feet. Campbell's got a long release. The changing of the guard on offense definitely brings Campbell's future into question. It's way too soon to say Campbell's no longer the franchise QB, but you have to wonder. Will he mesh with the quick-release West Coast offense? Zorn's a great coach, so he's got to have a decent shot at it, but you never know.
I'm also curious to see how guys like Bugel mesh with a west coast offense. These coaches, who are being kept for continuity's sake, have strong beliefs in their offensive philosophies. It remains to be seen how that meshes with the new West Coast approach headed by Zorn. It could be fine as Bugel and company show an ability to adapt, or it could be a complete disaster. Either way, Vinny has to be judged on all of it.

The quick release and accuracy on the intermediate passes is certainly something Campbell will have to work on perfecting. But it also helps in the WCO to have a strong arm like Campbell's. While the WCO doesn't incorporate the deep pass too often, it's the perfect offense for the occasional bomb
What I find most interesting is that, while it's true that QBs in that offense tend to be a bit shorter than Campbell, Zorn worked with Matt Hasselbeck who is roughly the same size as Campbell; so he knows what's he working with here.
I personally love the west coast offense. Not sure why exactly, I think it's the quick passes marching down the field and the potential for a big YAC.
