Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie
UPDATED stats/assessment...Jason's getting downright abused by this offensive line.
Cutler:
WK 9 - 29/47 (61.7%), 369 yds, 3 TD, 1 INT, 98.6 rating, 17 rush yds
TOTAL: 182/286 (63.5%), 2,046 yds, 14 TD, 12 INT, 83.8 rating, 109 rush yds
Sanchez:
WK 9 - *BYE* (final Bye for these 3 QBs)
TOTAL: 114/213 (53.5%), 1,443 yds, 8 TD, 10 INT, 67.9 rating, 60 rush yds
Campbell:
WK 9 - 15/22 (68.2%), 196 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT, 92.2 rating, 40 rush yds
TOTAL: 151/228 (66.2%), 1,677 yds, 9 TD, 8 INT, 86.5 rating, 143 rush yds
Ranks:
Comp. % = Campbell, Cutler, Sanchez
Yds = Cutler (2,046) Campbell (1,677) Sanchez (1,443)
TDs = Cutler (14), Campbell (9), Sanchez (8)
INTs (fewest) = Campbell (8), Sanchez/Cutler (11)
QB rating = Campbell (86.5), Cutler (83.8), Sanchez (67.9)
Rush yds = Campbell (143), Cutler (109), Sanchez(60)
Week 9 Campbell overview:
Tough week for JC, physically. In the first half, he was sacked 5 times and had been knocked out of the game with an injury. His one INT that was returned for a TD was directly attributed to a case of butterfingers by Fred Davis, who let a pass bounce off his hands into the arms of a Falcon defender. In the second half, although battered and bruised (literally), Campbell was able to lead the team back to a 24-17 deficit and put together a great second half statistically, highlighted by a nice play to use his feet to buy time and find Todd Yoder in the back corner of the endzone for a TD. Campbell had 40 more yards rushing against the Falcons. He's 4th in the NFL in rushing yards by a QB, behind only Aaron Rodgers, David Garrard and Josh Johnson. Overall, it was another painful and difficult day for Jason, but he did once again as he's done a few times this season shown that he can lead the team back when down big. If only he had the protection and teammates to prevent the team from falling so far behind, he could have a completely different reputation around the media and league. His stats were once again solid despite being completely smothered by another defense treating our line like turnstiles.
Jay Cutler had a better than usual game and some big numbers in a shootout with Arizona that the Bears lost 41-21, a game which Chicago managed only a total of 70 rushing yards.
Now with an even 8 games played by all three QBs and no more bye weeks remaining for any of them, Campbell still only trails Cutler in yards and TDs, while leading the remainder of the categories including the fewest INTs with three less than both Sanchez and Cutler. As we've seen, several of these INTs were the direct result of dropped balls or a batted ball at the line, attributable to the lack of a line.
It appears that the Redskins hit a wall at 17 points, because it is the season high for points and has been matched 4 times in 8 games! However, it can't be completely blamed on the QB play because Campbell is continuing to be efficient despite having no protection and is being hit far too many times. He has been sacked 11 times in the previous two weeks, (17 times in the past 4 games) yet has managed to help the team match it's season high of 17 points in both weeks. It appears this team as a whole hits a wall and can't score more than 17 points. No one can blame this lack of production on any single player. Campbell has actually outperformed both McNabb and Matt Ryan in the previous two games, passing for 480 yards and 3 TDs compared to 291 yards and 2 TDs for McNabb/Ryan combined.
