2. Jason Campbell is an elite NFL quarterback.
The 20th quarterback to start an NFL game for the Browns since 1999 is one of the best I've seen in a long time. He puts sensational spin on the ball, he's accurate, he's mobile, he gets the ball out quickly and he makes good decisions. He hasn't thrown an interception in his 75 attempts this season, and he's pushed his streak to 90 attempts without a pick. His current 106.6 rating would be third only to Peyton Manning (119.4) and Aaron Rodgers (108.0) if he had enough snaps to qualify.
So why hasn't Campbell been considered elite yet in his nine-year career? Because he hasn't had the continuity of systems that a Peyton Manning, a Tom Brady or an Aaron Rodgers has had. He's had numerous head coaches and offensive coordinators, and he's on his fourth team. But he's currently in an offense similar to one he's run before -- the downfield Air Coryell scheme -- and he's flourishing in it. I'm not suggesting he's a superstar like a Manning or a Brady, but he's an elite NFL quarterback capable of taking a team to the playoffs and possibly a Super Bowl.
What's more, he's mentoring the young guys such as Gordon and Greg Little, and letting everyone feast at the reception table. He showed tremendous faith in Davone Bess after Bess' dropfest in Kansas City, and got him back on track for the home stretch. Campbell should continue to improve as the season goes alone and he gets more reps with the starters.

Was this an Onion article?

However, I will say that Jason Campbell has always been good enough when given the time to develop in a single system. He was playing quite well in Oakland before getting injured, and it wouldn't surprise me if he does lead the Browns to the playoffs.

Elite would be going too far. He's not terrible, and has shown great capabilities, when he gets the playing time. He's an adequate fill in QB, but not consistent starter material.
