The Oline, RB, WR's(terry glenn, TO) and TE have been amongst the top 5 or have been very productive at their position at some point since he has been the QB. Campbell has not had that luxury. Moss is good but Randell El was never much IMO. Clinton is a good RB but he can't do it alone. Maybe I don't watch skin games but how many big plays does Portis make in the 4th quarter? Barber bails Romo out, many times. He is a luxury for Dallas and should be named one of the leaders. Felix is just going to get better with every touch. Do you forsee Campbell getting traded right after Zorn is gone(because he is as good as gone)? Some players can practice all week and not get it right in the game time. Maybe Campbell has that problem. I think Romo has that problem because he knows to stop making those bonehead plays, but he is like the scarecrow when its crunch time in big games.

You are right on everything except why Romo makes those "bonehead" plays. He does it cause no one really stops him. The Cowboys are ok with those plays as long as he comes back and throws that TD, ala Favre. Romo takes chances, and when you do, some will come back to bite you. There is no doubt Romo needs to get smarter and less aggressive, just as there is no doubt Campbell needs to get smarter and take some more chances.

When do people stop harping about arm strength if the QB is not accurate? Cutler is accurate, strong arm. Russell, Vick, and Campbell not so much.

I have wondered this for years. Especially when people here said Patrick Ramsey was a stud when all he had was a strong arm. Arm strength should be looked at to determine a good qb, but it should not be in the top 3 when evaluating his role at the next level.
Gotta say, I am a bit taken back by the reference of Campbell to Russell and Vick...but not sure where to argue at this time, or just take that punch to the gut and realize Campbell is a piece of poo like those other two.
