Jason Campbell pulled his hammy

Its clear Campbell cannot run an offense. He makes too many key mistakes, like the ends of the TB and Dallas games where he threw costly picks. His TD and INT ratio is bad, and his QB rating has been low as well, in the high 70's. The upsetting thing is that his stats show no improvement year to year. We cannot win with him, just look at his record as a starter, its below 500. though collins is old, he really hasnt been banged up much in his career due to being a backup.

There's a reason that he was a backup for 10 years. HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE A 16 GAME STARTER! Campbell after 16 games has a better TD:INT, QB rating and completion percentage than many Hall of Famers (Elway and Favre to name a couple quick ones) at the same point in their careers.

Do some of you guys not actually watch football and realize it takes some/most QB well into their 3rd year as a consistent starter to establish what type of QB they are going to be? Would anyone take Drew Brees, Matt Hasselbeck, Donovan McNabb or Marc Bulger right now? I'd say just about anyone who says Campbell isn't going to be good would take one of them now. All of them experienced significant growing pains and struggles early in their careers and have been Pro Bowl QB since.

Give him time before writing him off.
