Sure the receivers have dropped a few, but a lot of campbells passes have been off target, and theres a reason Zorn doesn't have a lot of faith in campbell. And I agree betts should be cut, but really its the crappy play calling. And JC decision making has been awful. Example: 3 & 8, jason throws it to cooley on a short 5 yd route, and they come up 1 yd short. He doesn't throw to a receiver running downfield or towards the 1st down marker, he throws to a receiver running back to him. Just like when he was in the 2 min drill against detroit, he throws it to cartwright for a gain, then the clocks ticking, and what does he do? throws it to cartwright AGAIN in the middle of the field for a 2 yard gain. he should have thrown it towards the endzone or away. It's little things like that which make me say "He is not the answer" I've seen enough to say that year 2 in this offense is no different that year 1 in this offense. If campbell is struggling against detroit and st. louis, then how do you think he's going to do against philly, san diego, atlanta, carolina, new orleans, etc.?

But it's not like anyone is playing a lot of 8 in the box against us. When the safety comes up, we could check out of the running plays we do call, but then we are talking about Portis averaging 5 carries a game. He wouldn't accept that.
