Re: simplification versus repition

I would probably go with simplification but I really think the problem is this. We haven't even been in this offense for 1 year yet. Even McNabb has said it takes 3 years to run this offense as a QB. JC is smart, but we expect him to do what other QB's couldn't do with the WC in their first year. Compound that with being the 4th most sacked QB in the league, rookies not contributing as soon as expected, dropped balls etc. We didn't change the run game and look how Portis is doing. There is no substitute for time. Our passing game is going to take time. Now I'm one of the guys who's been yelling to throw the damn ball. If we don't, our running game will suffer. I've heard that Zorn has mentioned not giving JC as many options... to simplify things. From what I've heard, the word around the league is JC checks down on his receivers too quickly. Now that may be from running for his life or not trusting the receiver, either way, simplifing things may be the answer for now. Jason Campbell is a good QB. The truth is, given the play of the o-line and the receivers, he's probably doing better than should be expected, but he can not run this offense like he's been in it for 3 years when he's been in it for less than one. Simplifing, not giving up, the passing game may help.
