You'll find plenty of critiques of Campbell's play throughout my work, but neither you or I noticed anything about blitz recognition or pre-snap issues.

Everything you mentioned is along the lines of "Campbell left this throw on the table", "He flat out missed this throw", "Needed this third down conversion, Campbell low and behind". Granted.

You never really mentioned anything about pre-snap read or blitz recognition struggles, and this is because they aren't in anyway pronounced. It's a falsification of the evidence.

These are GREAT tape breakdowns. You absolutely did a fantastic job on them and I thought, at the time, that what I was seeing defended your analysis.

But since we both slowed down the tape breakdowns post-bye, it's not like Campbell has all-of-a-sudden developed issues that weren't there in the first half of the year. His pocket presence is still very spotty, and though he has greatly improved his ball control when he gets drilled, he's still not very sure of himself after a play breaks down. His accuracy has been suspect all year. These are measurable things that we can observe, and I don't think there's any reason to make things up.

Anyway, here's Jaws on Campbell from two weeks ago. I don't think he says anything that we don't already know, but I agree with his bottom line conclusion.

washingtonpost.com

Campbell has struggled since then, but his fundamentals tend to break down when his team is greatly over-matched. There's a very simple solution to this problem that has nothing to do with Jason Campbell, and I hope we throw ALL of our resources at the real problem, independent of what the Redskins choose to do with their quarterback.

My biggest point: Campbell is neither the problem, nor the solution to the problem. I think I remember reading that in your Chiefs review as well, so if I stole it from you, I apologize.
I'm in no way a professional at figuring out what's wrong with JC but I can tell you what I see and what "I" have mentioned after every game ...almost....

1) JC can't read defenses. He fails to pick up blitz's or rotate his protection prior to the snap.

I guess I'm falsifying or making stuff up also, but it's just what I see and interpret.

2) JC throws behind his receivers all the time.

I think he has difficulty knowing where a receiver will be vs. where he's at and getting the ball to that point so he hits them in stride. Again my interpretation.

3) JC throws too high or under throws the ball .... a lot.

4) JC has a strong arm to get the ball down field but thats it. There's no accuracy. If we had receivers who would actually go after the ball if it was with in 5 yrds of them JC might look better. But instead he over throws them...wait I said that already.

5) JC doesn't see the field well. I think I said this one time. But I think others have said this at nausium.

The thing with interpretations is it's the one individuals interpretation. Funny though I had more support from other members on here after the Dallas game.

I know it sounds like I'm bashing JC but actually I have said I wouldn't be against JC being here next yr. I actually think Shanny will tender JC, pick up a QB in the draft, cut Collins, and let whoever is here... JC, Colt, and draft pick battle it out during camp. Shanny owes JC nothing. No guarentees. If tendered JC can't leave so Shanny gets a chance to see what he has to offer in his scheme. I also figured Shanny wouldn't have to pick a QB in the first round. He could pick up a OL. But good QB all go in the first round usually and with in the first few spots. I think now Shanny will want to pick up his QB this year cause it might be the closest we get to a high pick. I would presume next year he will have the team better then 4-12 which would move us down the ladder quite a bit. I could be wrong but just a feeling. First year HC wanting his first yr QB to develope or throw to the wolves.
