Campbell Breakdown On ESPN Insider

Going forward please do not post complete articles from ESPN Insider.

My observation is that he holds the ball a little too long. Sliding to avoid the rush is ok, but with our depleted O line, he needs to go thru his reads and progressions very quickly. The O coordinator needs to realize this and loosen the reins to allow JC to shorten the number of reads.

The ESPN Insider breakdown was good, but nothing that most here didn't already know.

overall I agree, he is still learning the pace of his reads & holds on a little too long. However, a good qb will learn when to wait & when not to.

On that 4th & 2 if he'd gone to his 2nd option (presuming it was) - McCardell, he was open for the first.

These are the finer points though, can't criticize him too much at this point cause he's making great progress & you have to feel good about his future w/the team.

Seems this o line is more adept at pass blocking than run blocking. We're going to have to continue to set up the run w/the pass rather than the usual run - pass.

He's been absolutely victimized by his receivers this year, but he also tends to try to make the most difficult play on the most crucial downs. He's often athletic enough to have success, but compare him against the league average in given situations and he ranks right in the middle of the pack despite all that skill and work ethic.

He's going to have his successes and his failures, in and out of crunch time. Since we have no running game, we are just going to have to deal with his shortcomings and enjoy the fruits of his progress.

One thing I'd like to see him work on is getting rid of the ball quicker rather than relying on his athleticism to extend the play. Not that being athletic and extending the play is a bad thing, but it can kill you if you run into a defensive line who can match your athleticism. If he gets good at getting the ball out quickly, hes going to be undefendable.
I would not say we have no running game as we are ranked 14th in the NFL in rushing averaging aroun 123 yards a game. Its not great but not as bad as you stated. One stat that I didi notice when looking that up is we have 8 rushing fumbles wich is almost 2 per game.
