West Coast QBs are known for the quick release and quick feet. Campbell's got a long release. The changing of the guard on offense definitely brings Campbell's future into question. It's way too soon to say Campbell's no longer the franchise QB, but you have to wonder. Will he mesh with the quick-release West Coast offense? Zorn's a great coach, so he's got to have a decent shot at it, but you never know.

I'm also curious to see how guys like Bugel mesh with a west coast offense. These coaches, who are being kept for continuity's sake, have strong beliefs in their offensive philosophies. It remains to be seen how that meshes with the new West Coast approach headed by Zorn. It could be fine as Bugel and company show an ability to adapt, or it could be a complete disaster. Either way, Vinny has to be judged on all of it.

Has any Quarterback in the last few years acutally had an issue with adapting to the west coast? It's no longer a gimmick offense, it's designed to hit right at the crux of how ball games are won.

And it should take some much needed stress off the OL in the passing game.

A lot of people are making a big stink about all of these changes, but the fundamentals are still exactly the same. Philosophy changes, but that's not really going to be an issue for the players, unless they overthink it.
