freakofthesouth Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 For those at camp, or those that followed Auburn: I am interested in JC's ability to break off runs. Who could he be compared to in this respect? Does he have the potential to be as agile as McNabb? When a QB can really make something happen w/ his legs, it creates a 3rd dimension to an offense. You then have to account for this possibility, which will either open up things downfield, or create more room for the RB. Can anyone shed some light on this topic? I suppose I'll have some idea on August 13th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I'm a little curious about this too, but I don't think he's much of a scrambler. May have decent mobility to avoid sacks but I don't think he's looking to run down the field much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins4SB Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I don't know about McNabb agility. I went to todays camp and I was impressed with the mobility he showed. On one play where there was pressure on him, he scrambled out of the pocket and hit Antonio Bown near the sidelines. He also had a few runs when there was nothing open and he had a running lane.

jimster Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I saw him in camp today and was very impressed. - He took off a couple of times after a few seconds of holding the ball. - When he did, he ran and juked around and made people miss. One of my buddies with me commented that he looked like Culpepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGS_DADDY Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I would venture to say that he's about as mobile as Elway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzmuda Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Campbell is a solid scrambler. He's not going to instill fear in defenses from his speed or running ability, but he will make yards simply because he is a proficient scrambler. The Auburn offense even had a couple of designed QB runs and sweeps simply because Campbell can pickup yards. He's no burner, however. He knows how to read blocks and make moves with just enough speed to where he'll be picking up some yards on runs and keeping LBs more honest to open up the passing lanes a bit. What excites me more than his scrambling, however, is his willingness to scramble out of the pocket to buy time to make plays downfield. He did this over and over at Auburn and showed this attribute at the Senior Bowl as well. It shows a patience that many young players can't display. As one of this board's biggest Campbell champions, I couldn't be more happy with the Skins selection of him. He reminds me of a slightly slower, less quick McNabb with a much more accurate arm.

You need to take out sacks for rushing attempts and negative rushing yards to get a clearer picture from stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthcat Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Campbell can run and hit a target on the run. Reminds me of Cunningham only alot less likely to run first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Portis Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Culpepper and McNabb arent blazing fast either. I believe Mcnabb was a 4.67 and Culpepper was a 4.96. The thing that makes them so great at scrambling is their presence and their awareness. They know when to scramble, and have enough legs to do it. In addition, they have size, so that can just shrug off tacklers. Definitly not Michael Vick though. I guess theres three kinds of passer: Traditional Pocket Passer Scrambling QB (probaly 4.4 or below 40's) Balanced QB (ala, Mcnabb, Culpepper, McCown even) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_good_brotha Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Originally posted by RDSKNfaithfull I think he is more comparable to Aaron Brooks. No, please don't tell me JC is trying to pass the ball with his non-throwing hand. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeythetapeworm Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Originally posted by Clinton Portis Scrambling QB (probaly 4.4 or below 40's) I think that that's a very fast minimum speed. Many, many possession receivers can only run a 4.5 or 4.55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakofthesouth Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Right on everybody. A buddy of mine who consisitently watched Auburn last season said the same thing: he's not too much of a runner, but he's superb at buying time and making throws outside of the pocket. This is his strong suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGS_DADDY Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Why is it that this kid is being compared to every black QB in the book and none of the white ones? Not to play the race card here, but the thing is. This kid does not, at least by my estimation, play like the typical athletic "black" quarterback. To me he is a kid who makes the proper reads, is pretty accurate, can buy time with his legs, can scramble when necessary, but will kill you with his arm. I found the same comparisons were being made when Leftwhich was coming out of school. In my opinion he is about as mobile as Bledsoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambell is a lot like Aaron Brooks though size and physicall ablity. Not too many tall white Q.B.s who are mobile with a good arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citigent Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 boy a leftwich to duante or mcnabb comparison is just wrong, leftwich is a tree, i guessing that the reason you would compare campbell to another black qb is that the majority( not all ) of the scambling type qb are black. i admitt i havent seen alot of campbell but what i did i first thought od duante not because of color but his build/size.

You need to take out sacks for rushing attempts and negative rushing yards to get a clearer picture from stats. While taking away his sacks would improve his rushing yards, he still only had a few runs and over half of those were not planned. While he can scramble, he's primarily a dropback passer. Think Doug Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can almost understand the Culpepper comparison. Although Campbell is nowhere near a wide as DC, and DC throws the ball like it has to get through a brick wall, sort of like Favre.
