Comparing apples and oranges.
Look i like Matt Ryan but put Campbell on the Falcons and IMO you would get similiar if not better production then Ryan.
Did you stop to compare their situations?
Matt Ryan has a
veteran OC and playcaller in Mike Mularkey. Mularkey runs a vertical play-action heavy passing attack, as opposed to JC who is in the 1st year of the WCO which takes at 3 years to master JC has a
1st time playcaller Zorn and a
1st time OC Sherman Smith (who is new to the WCO himself.)
Matt Ryan has been only been sacked
17 times he's the 8th least sacked QB in the NFL. Campbell has been
sacked 38 times tied for 4th most.
Falcons have the #2 ranked rushing offense in the NFL which
drives their play-action heavy passing attack. Redskins have the 8th ranked rushing offense but
the WCO doesn't feature alot of play-action.
Having Mike Mularkey on staff is IMHO the number one reason for Ryan's success.
Mike Mularkey comes to the Falcons with a vast amount of coaching and playing experience in the NFL, which includes two years as a Head Coach (Buffalo Bills) and two stints as an Offensive Coordinator — one with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2001–2003), and the other with the Miami Dolphins (2006). He also forged a successfull playing career that spanned nine years in the League as a tight end for the Minnesota Vikings (1983–1988) and Pittsburgh Steelers (1989–1991).

*Also they have a fulltime QB coach in Bill Musgrave. Zorn is JC's QB coach which is great, but Zorn is also the HC and therefore can't give JC fulltime attention therefore Zorn relies on 1st time NFL assistant Chris Meidt (Div. II HC) to help out with QB coach duties.
Not exactly comparing like with like huh?
Also, JC has had a good season under adverse circumstances.
Look at the numbers:
Jason Campbell WAS QB 315 506 62.3 31.6 3,245 6.4 202.8 13 6 162 32.0 67T 34 3 38 84.3
And if you can't see it in the numbers listen to the experts:
Jason Campbell - Audio - ESPN
ESPN Ron Jaworski was considering JC for league MVP during the 1st half of the season.
Yet, despite all this:
Instead of saying JC isn't good.
Just say the truth.
Despite how good JC is....
You don't like him.
