Why Will Jason Campbell Succeed In Oakland?

The former Washington Redskins Quarterback Jason Campbell has not had the best career.  By no means has he had the worst either.  His supporting cast in Washington was not that great, and constantly changing systems and having people in your city talk about wanting you out makes it hard for a player to get confident and preform up to their potential.

In Oakland, Campbell may not have the best supporting cast, but he does have some promising young players.  At WR there is the Raiders 2009 first round pick DHB.  Now as a Raider fan I was ve...
