Decided to start a new Campbell thread since the OP in the "Campbell's numbers don't lie" thread is now 6 weeks old, and no one is going to read through 1,000 posts.

Bill Barnwell at FO provides us this PFR query for Jason Campbell's season, based on the explosion of his sack rate. He compares Campbell's numbers to the 17 closest seasons in the last thirty years.

The link is here:

Barnwell's analysis is here:

The most interesting thing is the two closest seasons to the season Campbell is having now, out of every QB season in the last 30 years, were Ben Roethlisberger's worst two seasons. There's little doubt that Roethlisberger is seeing downfield right now a lot better than Campbell is, but I'm not sure that's always been the case.

Question is, exactly how did the Steelers get that offense to where they are right now? And how can the Redskins prevent this situation from finishing out as bad as it started.

Easy, they built a decent O line for Ben. Thing is Ben has the intagibles that JC hasn't been allowed to develop with the BS over the last 6 seasons. Thing is now JC probably is a ruined QB because of it. I like JC and always rooted for him, but he isn't much better than Gus.

Lets just leave it alone, he has been here long enough to make an impact and has not done so. Not like this guy was a 3rd round project QB, he was a 1st rounder. Try to find another 1st round QB who has been with a team as long as he has and hasnt made the playoffs. Our Oline isnt great but there are teams in the same boat and they score. I mean hell, TB's rook QB came in and they scored more than we have in a game all yr.

Best post on the thread thus far. JC is a good guy, but an average QB at best and isn't the "chosen one".
