What did you say? JC was the best of them all yesterday. Cutler looked horrid. Sanchez looked like the rookie he is.

From Boswell's column:

While the game was still in the hat, Campbell never got untracked. By the time the Giants hit a short field goal for a 23-10 lead with 3:12 to play, Campbell had passed for only 145 yards with one interception and two fumbles, one lost. However, his final drive, completing 5 for 6 for 66 yards, including a 17-yard score to Chris Cooley, raised, or padded, his quarterback rating to 93.6.

You can take comfort in the final stats and the 93.6 QB rating, but when the game still mattered, Campbell was mediocre and AGAIN, just not good enough to help his team win. Modest stats (like Favre's against the Browns) are fine in a win, but not in a loss. He did all he could do, but it just wasn't enough. Different year, same old story line.
