Jason Campbell's development

Just curious - Who were the players taken with the picks we traded to get Campbell?

i got a man crush on campbell, i think he has a chance to be great but im surprised noone has talked about the glitch in his delivery, he seems to hold to ball low so when he wants to throw it he has to bring his arm significantly back before it can start to move forward . . . ive compared his throwing motion to peyton and others and he does hold the ball low causing vital split seconds to be lost in bringing the ball back and up . .

i know there has been a few WP articles about it too . .

go skins!


I don't put a lot of stock into throwing motion so long as the QB can be accurate, guy's who are unconevtional with their throwing motion usually have compensated for whatever problem may arise from it in other areas of their game. I liken it to a hitch or a lot of movement in a baseball swing they usually find a way to get the bat in the right position just before they need to start swinging.

Very good point. Hopefully once we get to see him in Training Camp his delivery will be much improved if not totaly fixed. The one thing that does minimize this problem is his tremendous arm strength. Even though his release is not a quick as you would like, his velocity usually makes up for it....Yes I am an enternal optimist:)

campbell will throw for 3000 yards and have 22 to 25 tds this year and only 7 to 10picks

is that prediction based on anything? i foresee a big year by the running game, trying to bring Campbell along slowly. and keep our defense off the field

I agree, it's relatively meaningless.

Favre has a huge winding throwing motion, he's had a pretty good career. I know he's thrown a lot of INTs lately but that's not due to the throwing motion, that's from being reckless and desperate.

Two words: Bernie Kosar (he was my favorite)
