Different offenses. Totally different offensive talent and depth
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.

I think this is a fair post. At this point the question is can our OL improve to enable the big strides though.. We have upperclassman at OL. Sure there aren’t big strides from the passing department, but I still don’t know what anybody can expect from Nix right now.
I’ve seen enough shite sandwich offense this year to believe Bo is the casualty of his offense. 2019 it wasn’t like that. 2020 not so much either. But this year we are literally begging him to do hero ball. If Bo consistently had time to throw or had legit options at receiver, I’d be right along with meta. But he doesn’t and I’m not putting this on Bo. Find me any veteran QB that can deal with this offense and have success.

I can remember sitting in the stands, and getting frustrated those years before Campbell's SR year.
I always thought of Campbell those 3 years as 'check down' Campbell, bc he always seemed to want to throw to his safer throws, bc he didn't want to throw it deep.
His wind up was kind of big, and it seemed he was always a tad late seeing the open WR. If not for our deep RB group and OL, we would have not been a very good offense.
But then his SR year, Campbell's confidence grew, he started to make clutch throws and throw it deeper, and was very good on play action passes. It just clicked for him.
