Aaron Brooks also never had any sort of anticipatory ability, but that's just the thing: once his personnel went through a minor overhaul and once the league got some film on him, he stopped producing. I think we can all agree that Campbell is not another Aaron Brooks, but I still have to question the assertion that either Garrard or Leftwich can't get it done in this league.

Leftwich has a very measurable deficiency: he's never going to play 16 games in a season. Garrard's in a pretty similar situation to Campbell in that, you can look at the people on the offense around him and wonder exactly how that 2007 season happened.

I think this season will tell us a lot about Campbell, and I'll just suggest that what you want to know about him probably could be measured statistically, and fairly easily I would suggest, although sample size will be an issue.

Is it me or am I seeing a trend with these QB comparisons?? Maybe more telling than not. I don't mean that in a good way. Besides that. I think the thing that needs to be said is there is a grey area. Campbell is productive but not a great QB. I do think the difference is manipulating the defenses. The little nuances like looking off the safety. Pump faking. Being able to call audibles or having permission to call audibles. Knowing when to run and when to hang in there. I really think he will blossom. I think its the attention to detail is lacking. But the play calling and inconsistencies in the coaching staff doesn't help. I have been a staunch JC supporter. But if he doesn't prove himself at the end of the season he will be gone. for the simple reason his contract is up. If not we would sign someone and keep him as a backup.
