Re: Campbell's numbers dont lie

QB "B" has 474 att 288 comp with a 60.8% and has 3,692yds / 14 ints
Now by looking at this you will see that QB "B" had less att but he had more ints and about 25 more yds a game.It looks like QB "A" turned the ball over less therefore putting his team in a better position to win and had a higher comp% so he would seem to be more accurate if you go by the comp%. The only difference is that QB "B" had 28 TD's and QB "A" had 13 TD's and QB "B" went 14-2 and won the SB while QB "A" went 8-8 and missed the playoffs.
These are the numbers of 2004 brady and the 2008 JC. So again stats dont tell the whole story. There are many variables that are either added or taken away that will prove or disprove whatever the provider is trying to accomplish. So lets just stick with the W's and the L's which in the end are all that really matter.
You do know that Jason Campbell won't be the starter next year right? True the stats don't tell the whole story, but unfortunately for you we have a mediocre QB with decent stats. I don't understand why you (and others) insist in having this argument.

Criticizing Jason Campbell right now is truly beating a dead horse...we know he's not starting caliber and he won't be here next year. He still has good stats, which I guess is better than having a terrible QB with horrible stats (JaMarcus, Derek Anderson, etc., etc.). So just let it go, you won. Ok?
