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.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
