I haven't gotten a chance to hit the tape yet, but one of the things that struck me about Campbell is how well he handled adversity last year, and why in the face of the exact same adversity (no line, crappy WRs), Campbell is now failing. It's worth keeping an eye on. He did alright in the Panthers game on the road..that performance isn't world beating but it will help you win games. But from what I've gathered from the Bucs game and what you're saying here, he's been a legitimate problem.

The only thing I disagree with you on is that we will get anything out of Todd Collins. Collins' half was far worse than any half JC has had in his entire career overall. Giving him the reps would prepare him for what he's going to see, but considering he solved the Bears defense in 2007 on limited reps, his inability to look competent against the 2009 Chiefs really tells me everything I need to know. Considering that Todd Collins got a whole half against a terrible team and did nothing, I think Campbell has earned the right to play his way out of here. At least until we decide to give Woodson a look.

If Campbell doesn't get things turned around, there's really no point to hold on to him in the offseason. But we already know that Collins won't be on the team next year, so there's no point in playing a 38-year old replacement level player.

Anyway, excellent review, as usual.
