Third and eight and the guy calls an audible to AN OFF TACKLE RUNNING PLAY????? How many four-yard dump-offs in that situation? How many hopeless scrambles? How many times has he tucked it away when you just KNOW he didn't get past his first read? If you're an NFL QB and you don't think your arm has been touched by God himself, YOU ARE DONE MAN!!!! SONNY JURGENSON SAID IT, AND IT'S TRUE!
The man has no fire and no desire to win. What's up with this guy? When was the last time we saw Campbell get mad, like a real player, like Moss or Portis? Jump up and down like
ey? We get NOTHING!
Thank you! Every time I hear someone in the announcing booth whine about Zorn not letting Campbell audible, I think about that play. That was an absolutely STUPID call... one that only a non-football mind would conceive in that situation.
I've commented often about Campbell's lack of fire. Even Campbell has tacitly acknowledged it, when he made his ludicrous "dragon" comments.
I'm thinking he's got some little gummy dragon that he keeps in his pocket.
For me... no one can match the 'Irksomeness" of Jason Campbell. He is the very definition of the word. The dude is very talented. He has the arm and the legs to carry the team, yet he has not one clue about what to do with it, and shows no indication of matching his potential. Can you imagine what players with true football intelligence, like Brett Favre, Warren Moon, or Ron Jaworski (men who had much talent, but largely subsisted on the force of their wills and their knowledge of the game) would have become if they possessed the physical tools of Jason Campbell? Scary. Imagine Brett Favre with Campbells size, strength, speed, and arm?????? Give Jason Campbell 1/2 of Favre's fire and field vision, and this is a very different ending.
