Re: good news and bad news for Oakland
The good news is that he's a major upgrade over JaMarcus Russell and he still has some upside that is yet untapped. He should improve some simply due to maturity, if the system around him is stable and he has decent personel. He is a solid person and has shown he can lead by example, and understands how to act professionally off the field.
The bad news is that he has shown a tendency to fold under pressure, throwing crucial interceptions to end games, and he needs virtually all of the pieces in place in order to become a consistent, winning quarterback. In this regard, Joe Gibbs might've been thinking that since he won a SB w/Mark Rypien he could win w/Jason Campbell. Campbell is much better than Rypien, but Rypien had the hogs & the posse, Campbell didn't.
