Re: Do You Want Jason Campbell Back in 2010?

I'd like to see him return, because he's an easy guy to root for. And contrary to what some people who "watch the tape" will tell you, he doesn't actually struggle to read blitzes or anticipate throws. These are false statements, and let not others tell you otherwise.

With that said, it's hard to see his fortunes changing significantly while here. We could bring him back, but if we're going to get to the playoffs next year, it's going to be on the strength of the defense led by someone who isn't a clown, and with a heavy lean on a zone running game. Not the spread-shotgun system that Campbell needs to have to post top ten numbers.

It's hard to objectively say we'd lose a whole lot by moving on from Jason Campbell. The problem is that it opens up the quarterback position to bring in an interception machine that could actually prevent us from making the playoffs. Look at the Jets. With Campbell, or a Campbell equivalent on that team, they're likely the AFC East champs. Instead, they have a rookie who they hope can be the quarterback they need one day, but ultimately, it's a whole lot of hope, a lot of trust, and very little substance.

However, with prudence from the front office, this situation can be avoided.

I would trade Jason Campbell if the opportunity presented itself. But I'd still want him back. Regardless, I think he will be back, though not on a long term deal.
