Rainy Parade

hey guys (and gals if you're out there...)
as some of you know, i write an NFL column for realfootball365.com. i mostly cover the Redskins and the Raiders (one out of interest, the other as assigned by the site), but i also do various league-wide stuff like my weekly "picks" column during the season.
anyway, for this week's Raiders column i thought we could give them some real insight on Jason Campbell. the talking head experts can give them the basics "he has a big arm, played under a zillion different systems/coordinators, had dysfunction in Washington, had a bad offensive line," etc....
but i thought if everyone wanted to chime in with a "good news bad news" sentence or so, i'd cull the best (or simply the ones i choose to use) and offer their fans a real portrait of Jason by the real redskins fans who actually watch all the games.
i'd prefer that it doesn't become an overly negative "campbell sucks" kinda thread, that's why i've framed as "good news bad news" so you can give one positive and one drawback. can be simple/obvious or complex and insightful.
mine might be "the good news is Jason Campbell has very similar rating and W-L record as Jay Cutler who's an alleged franchise QB and the bears gave up a LOT more for him. The bad news is Campbell has a similar rating and W-L as Jay Cutler."
or
The good news is Campbell is tough as nails and is a real pro's pro who never complains and just goes about his business. The bad news is his quiet demeanor leads some to speculate that he doesn't have the "IT" factor people like to see for leadership from the QB position.
anyway, have at it. post them all here...
if you dont want me to use/publish your comments then either specify that or dont post here. also, let me know if you'd like to be anonymous, identified by WP screen name, or perhaps your real name. (if you want to use your real name but dont list it here, just put "PM me for real name" after your post and i'll do so if i use your comment.)
hope to have some fun with this, and also might be a nice way to put a bow on the J-Soup era. if you're tired of discussing JC and think it's a dead horse, feel free to check out all the other threads.
thanks in advance!!
