That's the second time I've read that bingo joke about Sherman Smith which leads me to fear it may actually be true.

I think if you're not giving up on the season, and Zorn's not and I don't blame him, this is the right choice. Maybe Lewis will call plays that will maximize the offense. Zorn can't, and shouldn't give up. If he does, he might as well quit.

I agree......And remember Sunday was the first time Campbell has ever been benched in his football career, I'm hoping this will spark him beyond what happened to him during to offseason. It can't make up for his physical lilitations but hopefully make for a less cautious approach.

There's no further humiliation and/or embarassment the two of them can endure, so if Lewis, notwithstanding what he can't do, can help Zorn in certain situations he has nothing to lose if he's going to be fired anyway. The only way it couldn't be an asset would be if Lewis didn't know the plays.

Does it really matter? This is a lost season, and all due to O-line neglect that most on this board decried each of the past two years. I feel bad for Campbell - while he played poorly in the first half, he has been utterly failed by the FO since we traded up to draft him. I keep going back to the Philly blueprint. Andy Reid went in with a plan, and has provided stability even during their tough times. I have little hope that a Snyderato run regime will ever have the necessary stability to win.

Speaking of Andy Reidy; he benched McNabb last year at second half.. Well, I guess I hope it will do the magical for Campbell too..

Big difference in QB's my man. McNabb is a pro bowl QB who led his team to the NFC Champ game like 4 yrs in a row and the SB. JC has never made the playoffs. It would be nice to see a fire under JC for once but i doubt the benching did anything to improve him as he already knew he was playing for his career this yr. What more do you need?

Maybe we need an offensive line that doesnt have 2 dudes on it that wouldnt make most NFL Rosters and Stephon Heyer... I think this is the right call. I mean it wont make a difference either way. The offensive line is just not good enough to support either guy.

Would be nice to also have some multiple targets other than Moss and Cooley to throw to. Campbell is screwed because of the line, but he still is deficient in some of the basic crap that caused Gibbs to dump Ramsey. His INTs have dramatically increased as well. I just don't see how JC is so much superior to previous post Gibbs I Qbs.

He rarely does jack when he does have time to throw. QBs are IMPORTANT. The best ones aren't the best because they have the best pass protection. Look at what Aaron Rodgers is doing this year, or what Roethlisberger did last year. Or hell, look at what Cassel's sorry ass did against the Skins Defense, which is head and shoulders better than the Chiefs pathetic D. Even tonight, Rivers was getting his ass kicked all night, but his Offense still managed more than 6 points, and they were playing one of the best Defenses in the league. Let's stop pretending all QBs are created equal and the O-line is the only thing that separates the good ones from bad ones. JC is just not very good.

Other than the 6-2 start last year (and even then he only had 8 TDs), he's been very average, and definitely not above being benched. Boo-hoo, he didn't get to play behind the Hogs, and he didn't get to play in the same system for 15 years. Life ain't fair. He had his chances, and he blew all of them. 10 more years as a journeyman backup is a great life. This team is shit and needs to start from scratch.

Hey man! Didnt you hear? JC got benched last week so NOW he is going to come out and make it rain td's because NOW he is motivated unlike before when he was just playing for a contract and possibly his last chance of being a starter in this league.
The Soup slirpers are saying JC will pull a McNabb and play lights out but they have to remember that McNabb only had a number 1 wr -T.O-for 1 yr and he was still a pro bowl QB and took his team to Conf Champ games and a SB appearance.

It is a sinking ship. JC has had his shot fellas and he isn't really any much better than Ramsey or Frerotte. Zorn and the O line are problems for sure, but JC is also a negative. THe guy has had plenty of chances to show us he is the man(got more chances than Ramsey) and came up on empty. Marty turned it around after the bye in 200, but that is Marty, one of the bes HCs in the modern day. Only the truly deluded can't put some of the blame on Campbell. The guy after all this time still holds onto the ball way too long and still can't look off on all of his receivers whether the protection breaks down or not. Last season he didn't throw too many INTS or TDs, now it is mostly INTs in the same offense with the same line, albeit tattered. THe Eagles need a win to get up on the Gmen in the playoff quest, while we are going nowhere. I truly hope we can get a miracle, but these guys are not showing me any motivation or integrity in their performance thus far. It is still the Cooley, CP, and Moss show, and CP and Moss are slipping. Pretty soon Cooley is going to want out if this keeps up.

That is my main concern. How long will Cooley be happy on a team that's not using him, or supporting him. I'm sure there's a few people other than JC that would like a better O-line, and I'm sure Cooley is one of the main ones. He's not going to get back to the Pro Bowl by helping the O-line block.

Campbell shouldn't get all the blame...it's not like if you put Peyton Manning behind that offensive line, he would be putting up incredible numbers either, probably not that much better either
