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"

Look, this is his make or break season for JC. It's important that he shows the FO and us that he's progressing and he's a starting QB in the league. If he doesn't have a great season then yeah I'd probably cut my ties if i find a better option, but he's had to deal with 3 systems in 4yrs which is tough for a guy who might not be able to pick up everything as fast as someone else. He's all we have coming into the season with unless you bring a shady character like Cutler. The bottom line is JC has to prove he's our starting QB and if not, he should go.
