-In the 4th quarter he's only got a 68.3 rating
-In the 4th quarter with a lead of 7 or less it's only 59.9
Now granted we've only played 5 games and this isn't really an accurate measuring stick yet, but I don't like those numbers.

Those are valid concerns, but you need to remember that Gibbs has taken the control out of Campbell's hands in those situations (for the most part). He's getting more and more confidence with the coaching staff, and as that happens, he will no longer HAVE to throw 3rd and longs most of the time in the 4th, he'll be getting chances to throw on 1st and 2nd downs too. I think those numbers are just too incomplete for him at this point because up until VERY recently he has not been the man Gibbs has wanted with the ball come the end of the game.
