Cutler vs Campbell stats

[SC Skins Fan]

Everyone is ready to abandon ship. Give up on Campbell, get rid of Gibbs, run Portis out of town. Campbell has now started 16 games, the rule of thumb for NFL QBs is that you really won't know what you have until start number 30. Campbell is a smart player who has made some really good decisions at times this season. He has also missed some big throws and that is probably the most troubling thing about him right now. He missed Moss yesterday on a throw that would have been a first down and he had the three fumbles. Basically everyone sucked yesterday, though, and I'm not sure what value you can really take from that game.

I also don't really see the value in comparing Cutler and Campbell. Why those two QBs? They weren't even in the same draft class, they play in different offenses, etc. Why not compare him to Leinart, or Young, or Alex Smith, or (if you're feeling particularly morbid, which I gather many of you are) Derek Anderson. Anderson came out in the 2005 draft and he has thrown 17 tds and 8 ints for Cleveland this season. It's irrelevant. This isn't about any other QB except for Jason Campbell. No one else matters, comparing him to anyone else makes no difference whatsoever. I still think Campbell is the guy to lead this team. The whole offense sucks right now, but before yesterday that had very little to do with Jason Campbell. I am willing to bet that a lot of QBs making their 14th start against Bill Belichick would look pretty confused. He's done it to more accomplished QBs than Campbell, that's for sure. The guy is a world class a-hole, but he is also a world class game planner.

No one is really saying that. People are jumping to conclusions cause Gibbs play calling or overall decision making was in question, and Campbell is playing poorly. Not sure I have heard many people at all trying to run Portis out of town.

I think it's OK to question our leaders. Gibbs and Campbell are not untouchable, nor are the perfect. We don't need to blindly think everything they do is gold. It's not. None of us are thinking we need another option at either position.

You took the admittedly hyperbolic statement that I led with and thereby ignored the substance of what I said. You simply cannot judge JC off what happened yesterday. The Skins were overmatched in all phases and Belichick had a scheme that confused both Jason and the offense. Even in the win against Arizona, where his stats looked so abysmal, Jason made every important play on the scoring drive that ended up proving the difference in the game. If you didn't think the road was going to be bumpy then you were too optimistic. In my opinion, until yesterday Jason was not the problem with the offense. He has missed some throws, he needs to correct that, but I'm willing to say that a lot of QBs making their 14th starts against the Pats would look pretty bad. I'm not saying you can't be an iconoclast, but I am suggesting that everyone calm down a bit and maybe see what happens in the next few weeks.

Well there are at least 10 people on this site that want him benched.

I wouldn't say I want him benched, but I want to see a lot more Ladell, or at the very least an acknowledgement from Redskin Park that trying to shove CP up the ass of an O-Line in tatters repeatedly is not going to win us any ballgames.

Since we're talking about Campbell here, let's talk about who he's throwing to. Anybody want to guess who the receiver with the second most drops in the NFL is this season? Hint: it's not someone who plays for the Broncos!

WOW...I guess I haven't been paying enough attention then.

I retract my Portis statement then. Anyone that thinks we will be better off without Portis is smoking crack. If you watch the games, you'll notice the line is not helping very much, so unless we sign Barry Sanders, anyone would have an issue running the ball for us. Quite frankly I am surprised he's done as well as he has.
