Will Jason Campbell ever get it?

[craig01]

Personally, after watching his SEC career at Auburn, I was not thrilled when he was drafted.

Campbell had a great senior season but was surrounded by a championship caliber team.

He continues to show the same defects he had at Auburn.

His fit in the Zorn offense does not seem a good one. Quick decisions and secondary reads are not Campbell's cup of tea.

He's a great guy with a lot of talent....but will he get it soon enough, or ever?

Craig - You know, after watching last night's exhibition debacle, I was wondering the same thing.

He seems to hold the ball way too long
He zeroes in on a reciever too frequently, allowing the secondary to make simple reads

While he does have a strong arm, he never seems to use it. Dink and dump is what Zorn's offense is all about, rarely throwing the deep ball. Besides, his deep ball is prolly a weak point of his game and he is woefully inaccurate (once the strength of Brunell's game).

With Brennan being at least 1-2 years away, this may be a long year for us. Collins has no clue on how to run Zorn's version of the West Coast offense.

Despite a good preseason, I see our boys going 9-7 or 8-8. I hope that I'm wrong...

[craig01]

8-8.

I think I'd be thrilled with that.

I live in Fla, so I don't get much visual exposure, but do listen on Sirius radio live when I can.

I am guessing, just guessing, but my gut feeling along with all of the changes leads me to believe that this year may get very ugly. I really, really hope I am wrong.

I do think the Carolina game was a fluke, but.......

craig - I hope that you are wrong, but I was not entirely surprised by the clubbing in Charlotte. A lot of questions surround our burgandy and gold...too many to make a deep run in the playoffs.

We have no real depth at the corner
Same can be said for D line, O-line. WR is our only real strength.

I was hopin' for 9-7 and a wild card bid. 8-8 may be a bit more realistic - argh!

[craig01]

8-8, 9-7, yuk.

[mohammed10]

8-8, 9-7, yuk.

Well, 9-7 gives HOPE for a playoff spot. 8-8 means the Vinny is preparing for another awkward draft

Ugh

[craig01]

Vinny might be the second worst gm in the NFL. Millen keeps the #1 tag.

Yeah, and that's not a category I want our Skins to be leading the league!

[craig01]

Looks like he is getting it.........

How's the crow tasting fellas?

Yungal:

I admit it. I was wrong. As we sit just beyond the quarter point of the season our boys are 4-1 with the POTENTIAL to be 7-1 (next 3 games against teams with a combined record of 1-10).

Tell you what, I'll be the first to fire up the bandwagon!

[craig01]

So far, the Skins have waaaaaaaay exceeded amy of my expectations.

When I saw the 14-0 score yesterday, I went "yeah, Philly....35-7".

But then, boom. Unbelievable!

I will eat crow when the time comes. This team is playing great football. wow.

[craig01]

The run was nice while it lasted.

Campbell returned ti his old form (bad), and the Skins look defeated.

7-9?

[spaceman_E]

The Skins have many more pressing concerns than Quarterback. Campbell is not the problem here.
