at some point, when you make a bad decision, you have to cut your losses, get what you can for a player (ie trade him) and move on. committing to campbell another year only ensures we let campbell go without compensation and sets us back another year when it comes to finding a long term solution at quarterback.
sticking to jc another year is no different than mopping the decks on the titanic. weve invested too much him already. its time to "abandon ship"

Just ran a very simple regression equation on Campbell using only his prior stats, and of course, assuming 16 starts.
Campbell 09 - 350/557, 3790 yds, 17 TDs, 9 INTs
Yards per Attempt = 6.8
Completion Pecentage = 62.8%
Sacks taken = 31
QB Rating = 86.2
This, of course, assumes the quality of offense around him is on par with the average offense he's had over the past 3 years, which is to say, very sucky.
Abandon ship!
