Campbell has carolina written all over him..lol

from portis

He said quarterback Jason Campbell has been "given an unfair situation," with instability on the line, different offensive systems and a changing cast of receivers. Asked whether Campbell can be successful with Redskins, Portis said, "I'm not sure in D.C."

Zorn will undoubtedly be fired come season's end, if not sooner.

not just because he's just not that good of a coach, but Snyder foolishly spent all that money on Haynesworth, Hall, and Dockery in the offseason and he will not come out public with egg on his face, he'll use Zorn as just another HC scapegoat.

I recall all this "unfair" thing going for David Carr when he was in Houston, and had that terrible offensive line..

hmm...

Well you know if you were thrown in to start for an expansion team as a rookie and had a shitty unit of linemen who can't pass protect blocking for you, you'd develop a habit to run for your life that will spoil whatever potential you had to develop into a decent qb

Campell has been in an unfair situation but so have a lot of other QBs. I'm sure there are countless players out there that could be good NFL QBs but never got the chance and lots that didn't work out but could have under the right circumstances. That's just how the game works.

I think he could be good though. I'd support him coming to Carolina.

Another ESPN write up on campbell with another team.

Under coach Jim Zorn, Campbell is stuck in a West Coast offense that is ill-suited to his strengths. His solid completion percentage aside, Campbell is not the classic "touch" passer. Instead, he's a quarterback with superb pocket stature (6-foot-5, 230 pounds) and a strong right arm, and is much better throwing the ball vertically than he is completing 5-yard timing routes.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
