How The Zorn HC Hire Effect Jason Campbell

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.

Sort of. If Campbell cant get the O going then he's out, plain and simple. Campbell hasnt shown much as a starter and now he has to prove himself all over again with a new coach.

I know I do make crazy predictions like in spite of Gibbs saying he was his QB that Ramsey would be gone by week 3.

And you said Brunell would return as the starter when JC took over, so I guess it's a wash.

JC hasn't shown much as a starter?? I think he's shown enough to try to build around him and give him a realistic chance. He has just over 1 full season of starts under his belt. Is it too much to ask to just have a little patience?

I agree, JC is where he needs to be an average QB with only one season full of starts under his belt learning a new scheme where do you think he should be under those condition? Don't get it twisted people seem to come down hard on JC since TC did a good towards the end of the season, but folks also fail to realize he was in Saunders system for years & years.

Yes - because if he can't be selectively impatient, how will he rationalize his doom and gloom predictions?

Campbell has shown plenty of strong qualities as a starter so I don't really know what you are talking about? He needs to improve in all aspects, but he is a highly regarded young QB.

Campbell has shown that he is what he is... a young QB with physical gifts, loads of potential, and the propensity to become a solid starter.

If he can't get the O going, and there are better options, obviously there are no reasons to stick with him. Kind of stating the obvious here Irish. That's pretty much like saying, "If player X sucks, we shouldn't start him".

He's made mistakes, shown weaknesses, but overall you've got to give him a chance. It's more risky to go pursue another project, and too expensive and unrealistic to chase a solid veteran.

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.
