I was just thinking of another scenario I hadn't heard yet. What if Jason Campbell has a slightly above average season? Do we sign him to a huge contract since he has had this one breakout season? Do we trust that it is not a fluke and he really has come into his own? We have had so many big signing busts, is this a subject that should concern us? Or do you go by one season and sign a multi-million dollar contract to keep him around?
I think will depend on how well the team does. If we go 6-10 or something, Zorn's probably gone and the new guy will probably want his own QB. If we go 10-6, well, I don't know.
What I'd do is draft a QB somewhere around the 3rd round and have him be our 'diamond in the rough' guy, just in case Campbell regresses. I think we need to take a break from drafting a QB in the first round. Between 1994 and 2006 we drafted three QBs in the first round. Once every four years. That's killing us.
Of course that all goes back to coaching turnover, which will continue to be a problem if Zorn gets the axe this year.
So I guess my short answer is, don't fire Zorn.
