It's been argued before but...

[Yasgur's Farm]

... For those who say Jason Campbell equals Trent Edwards...

3000+ passing yards in a season... Campbell 2, Edwards zero
16 games played in a season... Campbell 2, Edwards zero (has he finished a season at any level?)
20 passing TD's in a season... Campbell 1, Edwards zero
300+ passing yards in a game... Campbell 6, Edwards zero
Career passer rating... Campbell 82.3, Edwrads 77.9

End of discussion!

Re: It's been argued before but...

Just goes to show you how mediocre and uninspiring Trent has been. Even when he was supposedly "on his game", he wasn't amazing.

i think it's safe to say that making more threads about campbell is moot because he isn't coming to buffalo.

Wow, huge difference.

Ah yes, the old "take one statistic out of five" and use that one to "prove" your point, while ignoring the rest.

I have no idea how some people believe that trading a 4th or 5th rounder for Campbell is a waste. Bigger waste than say...trading up for Losman? Or using a 3rd rounder on Edwards?

His statistics have proven that he's an average starting QB in the league. Very few, if any, people believe he's the long-term solution at QB for us. Even so, he's MUCH better than anything we have now, that's for sure.

Re: It's been argued before but...

i don't believe he is better than anything we have. regardless of what his numbers on paper are. we have enough of our own garbage. why bring in another teams garbage? and lose a draft pick in the process. tom brady was a 5th round pick. which is what a team would most likely have to give up for campbell. who knows? that one pick could be that superstar in hiding.

Re: It's been argued before but...

Campbell is better than Edwards. I think he is worth a 5th rounder.

why ignore these?

3000+ passing yards in a season... Campbell 2, Edwards zero
16 games played in a season... Campbell 2, Edwards zero (has he finished a season at any level?)
20 passing TD's in a season... Campbell 1, Edwards zero

I thought you said qb ranking meant nothing?

typical pick out the only stats that might help your opinion and leave out the others that don't. Besides if you consider the weapons he's had compared to trents then it may be a big difference.

Re: It's been argued before but...

Wow, huge difference.

HOF'r Jim Kelly has a career passer rating of 84.4... Draw your own conclusions.

And please... no predictable detractive responses like 'I can't believe you're comparing Campbell with Kelly".

Why ignore that Campbell checkdowns more than Edwards and that Campbell Comp %, TDs and Int, with passes over 10 yards blows?

Remember when Bedard said Trent was our guy?

Yet...
Career TD %... Campbell 3.4%, Edwards 2.9%
Career INT%... Campbell 2.3%, Edwards 3.0%
Career completion %... Campbell 61.2% and rising, Edwards 61.3% and falling
Career completion % over 11 yards... Campbell 66.6%, Edwards 61.2%
Career pass attempts over 31 yards... Campbell 76, Edwards 7

With all due respect TD, these facts completely destroy your claims.

draz, i'm impressed with the numbers you have put up with Campbell and Edwards. i still think the Passer Rating is a useless stat. but anyways, you have come up with numbers that indicate that the Bills should go out and get Campbell. HOWEVER, and with all due respect, we all know your track record when it comes to QBs.

Yet the fact that Campbell blows completely destroys any stats that you bring up to try and promote him.

Yes, Campbell is a slight upgrade over Edwards. So what, upgrading from diarrhea to a solid turd is not really upgrading. It's still crap.
