It's selective sampling to say this. Campbell's two worst games of the last six were also the furthest away. Film study shows me that he got back on track against Seattle and has played at a pretty consistent level since then.
If we are in fact asking why they've fallen so far, we have to look at the reasons why when Campbell improved his level of play, the rest of the offense didn't improve theirs?
Cooley, Portis, Sellers, and Betts have all fumbled the ball away in the last four games, and the receivers have been going through a serious case of the dropsies. That's your answer.

I agree that turnovers are the biggest culprit for our recent swoon. I agree that Campbell has faced tougher defenses over the last five games. I agree that the supporting cast has let him down as pass protection has failed at times.
I definitely think that if the supporting cast played better, Campbell's numbers would reflect it.
And please, I understand statistical sampling. Campbell's numbers are a product of the team's play around him, so to look at his numbers the past 5 games and say that Campbell has regressed would not be correct.
But to spit out full-season stats on Jason Campbell is about as helpful and meaningful as the next duplicate "fire Jim Zorn" thread we're sure to have on this site.
