I look at Campbell and McNabb and see two cities that veiw their QB's in an opposite manner. McNabb is on of the best winning QB's in the league and they hate him in Philadelphia. We have a QB that has been terrible and we give him every excuse for loosing. He has Portis, Moss and Cooley. How much more could he ask for. Its the Oline, its the recievers, no it is the quarterback.

Honestly at this point I don't know who's most at fault. I think a little of everyone goes a long way. I was watching the Pitt/Denver game last night and at one point the announcers were commenting on how long Big Ben has to throw the ball.....he had like 5.4 seconds. They talked about it like he had all day. How long is JC being given to get rid of the ball? 1 or 2 seconds? To me it seems like JC is being given time, he may not have the lanes to throw through or receivers may not be open but I seem to think he's being given the time. At some point JC needs to just let the ball fly and expect the WR to go after the ball. If he's doing his job then the coach's can yell at the WR/TE for not doing their part. I understand ball security but JC is simply over thinking some plays and when he decides that a certain receiver is open enough for him to get them the ball it's almost too late and he throws the ball at a spot where the receiver either has to slow down causing the defender to catch up or behind the receiver.

In the Atlanta game people want to bash Davis for not making the catch and it turning into an interception....how about JC not throwing the ball so hard on a 5 yrd pass, not throwing it too high, and not throwing it at a point behind the TE. I understand it it Davis's hands and he should have caught it, but I still think JC is partially to blame for not throwing the ball better, then there's the fact that we needed 22yrds and he's throwing to Davis 5yrds out with 3 defenders draped around him.
