Will JC Get a Contract Extension From His Stats or Playoff Berth?

I'm not sure that no matter what JC does (except a Super Bowl win) he will get a contract extension. I just dont think the HC or FO have much confidence in him anymore.

DS doesnt want to have a "game manager" at QB. He openly went out of his way to get a Pro Bowl QB who puts points on the board and throws for 300 yards a game. Thats what he wants, not a 200 yd a game QB who hands the ball of and makes a good throw when the team needs it. I may be wrong but this is what i get from the latest actions of our FO.

What makes you say that right now? Because the only thing that Zorn's playcalling is doing is making Zorn look bad. I think if JC gets good stats but not that many Ws, that will be fine for him b/c his stats will land him a new contract somewhere else. I think now more than ever, Zorn is depending on JC to do well and get the Ws for the sake of his job.

Well DS doesn't want a game manager because he wants to win now...but like I said earlier, if the team win, that won't matter.

I think Zorn's calls the plays to minimize JC's weakness at QB and like you said, right now he looks bad for doing it.

Yes but in the end, Campbell comes out with a good statistical game, and Zorn comes out like he has no balls in the RZ. If what you say is true, Zorn has a big problem and he needs to figure out how to minimize JC's weaknesses and win games, because like I said he's the one looking bad right now, not Campbell.

Irish isnt a fan of JC to begin with, so he will always see it his way.

The truth is until JC plays with another coach/org we will not be able to see if it Zorns fault or Campbells. Both variables will continue to get confounded.

Exactly...to a somewhat unbiased person (which I am not) right now, Campbell looks like a pretty good QB. After the Rams game, the #1 thing people were complaining about, was the playcalling by Zorn. If this were to continue, the team gets an average record but JC puts up good stats with solid play, he might get canned here but he'll sign somewhere else.

I sure the front office does not care if the QB throws for 400 yards or 200 yards if they are winning games. JC has good stats but not the best results which he will need to change to stay around. I also do not think Zorn's fate revolves around JC because the front office tried to bring in a new QB and if we have a bad season then the blame maybe laid on JC and not as much Zorn. Rather thats fair or not I could see it going down that way but its really a little early in the season to discuss that.

Well its not like JC was winning a bunch of games under Gibbs so its not like Zorn is his first coach. I actually think Gibbs stressed so much do not turn over the ball it has impacted how JC plays still today.

I agree firstdown, Gibbs has a huge impact on JC's mentality. But I still think Zorn has the reins on JC real tight.
