How The Zorn HC Hire Effect Jason Campbell

Well he has played in a WC based system before and had his best college season in it. But let's just ignore that.

That was college. If we go by that Danny Wuerful should have been an all pro.

Regardless, he should at least be familiar with some of the terminology and basic principles. It's not going to be brand new to him like Saunders' system was.

True but his passing skills are just not suited for the quick passes that the WCO needs. Time will tell.

We don't really know what type of WCO Zorn is going to run. Zorn's priority is going to be developing Campbell so I'm sure he's going to suit the offense to fit his strengths.

I suspect Zorn's priority will be assembling an offense that can score more than 15 points per game. If JC can help them do that great, if not he's gone. I just dont see Zorn wasting 2 years on JC waiting/helping him to develop. 2008 is the make or break year for JC.

Those two basically go hand in hand, no?

Personally I don't see the team giving up on JC after 1 season in a new system with a first time HC.

But hey, if it makes you happy to make ridiculous predictions have at it.

It's been said that it takes a good two to three seasons before this offense becomes "well-oiled". With that said, I seriously doubt Zorn will be expecting Campbell to come out looking like Joe Montana from the get go. It will take time to develop and gel. But, Campbell has had some experience with a variation of this offense, so it's not like uncharted territory for him.

Also, Zorn has mentioned that this offense will rely heavily on the running game, so that will help to take some pressure off of JC.
