Can JJ mimic Jason Campbell's career arc?

Like JJ, Campbell was all over the place his first 3 years at Auburn. Big arm, prototypical size, above average runner for his position, but maddeningly inconsistent. Sound familiar? Then all of a sudden in his senior year, the light goes off for him and he turns himself into one of the best QB's in the SEC and a high draft pick.

To me, if you are going to dream of an improved JJ for next fall, it is Campbell's path that JJ would most likely to copy. Their builds and physical talents are similar, and their negatives have also paralleled each other for their first 3 years as a college QB.

Can JJ do it? Can Kragthorpe be the key to "turning on JJ's light"? Well it's only January, and as Joaquin Andujar was famous for saying in his staccato english "youneverknow"!

Will our running backs perform like Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown?

Great take. Certainly it could happen, if the JJ who played so well against Ole Miss and A & M can be coached up to be more consistent in a system that takes advantage of his skill set. The young man has worked hard and put up with a lot of abuse during the past couple of years, and all Tiger fans should be wishing him a great senior year.

And as a Cards fan, I like the Andujar reference, too.
