Has Todd Collins vindicated the Al Saunders offense?

Campbell was making throws he thought were open. In a timing offense, you need to make the throws you believe are going to be open.

I have no intention of throwing Campbell under the bus. I would say, in fact, that this run with Todd might be the best thing for Campbell. Now that he sees this offense working, Jason might buy into the program a little more, and when he next plays he'll be better suited.

I agree wholeheartedly. If Campbell is the QB we think/hope he is, he'll have the maturity and wisdom to learn from this experience. Mind you, this is bigger than just learning the offensive better. It's learning to deal with an injury. It may also involve dealing with a QB controversy. While the jury is still out on him, he has shown a great deal of resiliency and intelligence in the past with having to learn upteen offensive systems both in college and the pros. Hopefully when married with maturity, wisdom and proper mentorship he will take us to the promised land.

I don't think this has vindicated the offense as much as given us a glimpse of what is yet to come. I love how Collins is playing, but before we go throwing Jason Campbell under the bus let's just remember that Brunell struggled in this offense as well. The timing and trust that Collins has in this offense can't be picked up in one offseason, it takes time to understand and believe. I think that Campbell will be much more prepared next season as he'll not only have his own film to study but can look at Collins as well. It's win-win to me.
