Do they ever let Campbell call the plays on his own?

seems like he has a lil less leeway than he did late last year

he called some good 2 min drills at the end of the year last year

I think that zorn should free him up to do that again

You mean Collins? Campbell was injured the last 5 games of the year

iirc last season (maybe it was '06) JC threw a touchdown pass to Cooley after reading the D and calling the audible to that play - he later admitted he chose that audible because that was one play he could fully remember. As he gets more comfy and begins to master the Zorncoast offense he will be able to make better decisions when changing calls at the line. The truth is no one in the league calls their own plays anymore, not even the great Peyton Manning. The playcaller sends it in, the qb calls it in the huddle, and then the QB and line make adjustments based on what they see in the D if they need to. Even the best QBs have limited options (some more limited than others) when calling audibles, calls that are discussed in meetings prior to games and approved by the OC.

This is a great point I've been making all year. For whatever reason when is in the hurryup and in the shotgun he plays very well, And I think in those situations he's at his best. They have to let him play, Unleash him and see if he's gonna be the guy. Protecting him has led us to where we are I think, And with another tough defense today if we don't have a deep threat we can 't score.
