You say he hasn't had a lot of help over 3 years...didn't he play with two NFL receivers for two of those seasons?
Who? We all know Schwartz was just the go long guy. Who is the other guy?

People talk it up as if Jason Campbell was some horrible player until his Senior season, when in reality he was considerably more effective than Bo Nix has been at every step of the way.
Different offenses. Totally different offensive talent and depth

You're right man, Jason Campbell was playing in West Coast/Pro-Style offenses that asked him to complete much more difficult passes. And he still completed 60%+ a season.
Bo Nix spent 2 seasons playing in Gus Malzahn's offense where he would throw 5-10 screen passes a game (ie: easy completions) and he still couldn't break 60%. Think about that for a second.

Now, I will always be a Jason Campbell fan, but in 2003 I was not sure!
But one of the things that strikes me is how little talent we have around our qb atm compared to then.
I think about 2003 --- we had at least three receivers on that team get in the NFL --- pretty sure they could at least catch sometimes. We had Cadillac and Brown on that team as well, for God's sake. We actually had an offensive tackle from that team to eventually go on to the NFL.
And Campbell still had a demonstrably worse season than the year before.
The point is not that Nix will match Campbell, but he can improve --- especially if he gets more talent around him.
At least, that is my hope.
