Re: There's No Quarterback Controversy

Zorn has it right. Campbell has played average. He has not played bad. Other aspects of the team have been bad but not Campbell. I am surprised that this is even being discussed, although I shouldn't be.

And I'm not buying Campbell needs to adjust either. Earlier in the year when the entire offense was executing Campbell was being discussed as an MVP candidate. The problem is not the system, it's execution of that system. That is not a problem that can be blamed on Campbell. Not one bit. Charlie, what do all the guys you mentioned have in common? They are not having to win by themselves. Moreover,we have seen how average the aforementioned players can look when their teams get beat in other phases. To look at a few guys having success in their first year - admirably - and then somehow jump to Campbell needs to win games for us in spite of myriad breakdowns in other areas is crazy. Why don't you ask former Probowlers Matt Hasselbeck, Mark Bulger, or Carson Palmer about winning in spite of their teams' lines and receivers?

Re: There's No Quarterback Controversy

I'm hard on Jason but believe he deserves the ENTIRE rest of this season as our starting QB.

He also gets at least half of next season as the starter.

HOWEVER, we need to pick up a veteran WCO QB this off-season. Collins must go. There should be a healthy QB competition in the PS.

JC is a good QB, but he's got to move higher in the next year. Of course, some other offensive players have a lot more issues [like dropped passes, pass blocking, etc] to resolve if this team is going to score more points.

By this time next year we must know whether Jason is our future long-term franchise QB. He's got to prove he's not the one. The QB is simply the most important position on the team. An elite QB can take you to the playoffs at least a few times in a five year period.

Colt may get his chance but this is Jason's time to rise up or not.
