[quote=skinsguy;244785]Trent went to the Rams in what, 98 or 99? Injured that year went to KC the next year (I think.) It hasn't been that long ago.[/quote]


1998 and it's 2006.

My math tells me thats 8 years.

How many years would that be in your math?

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;244790]Not sure where you're getting that info, he took the majority of the snaps with the first team during the bye, and in camp he got some work with the first team as well.[/QUOTE]

by regular, i meant consecutive days. that came straight from Campbell's (printed) mouth, and yeah it only started about TWO WEEKS ago. how that compares to Philip Rivers starting an NFL season - a year younger to boot - has absolutely nothing to do with our situation.

[QUOTE=61cad;244781]That happened 8 to 10 years ago?

The league has changed.[/QUOTE]

Or how about Tony Romo? He'll be 27 in April.

You don't need to throw out and attitude with me. Trent Green didn't start with KC until 2001...that has only been 5 years ago.

I think Rypien was 27 when he first started for the Skins. He spent his first couple of seasons behind Williams and Schroeder

looking good too. yeah i understand talented QBs can sit, but did they have Collins and Brunell caliber QBs keeping them on the bench? even during total garbage time? it's borderline irrational.

You're missing my point. They are starting younger now.

Eli Manning 23.

Chris Simms 25.

V Young 23.

Re: How will you feel if its Collins instead of Campbell?
 

I think we all need to check our math LOL:

Jason Campbell was born on 12/31/81

Phillip Rivers was born on 12/8/81

They are both 24 right now and will turn 25 next month.

Just borderline irrational???

[quote=AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace;244793]I would feel like someone hit me in the face with a shovel...this can't be serious...if they start collins, its as if they're throwing darts at a board as a decision making process[/quote]

Throwing darts is much more scientific that the process that Barnum & Bailey er our front office uses.

Re: How will you feel if its Collins instead of Campbell?
 

Rivers will have almost an entire NFL season in his resume before Campbell gets his first [U]SNAP[/U]. that situation has less to do with our current situation than Mark Rypien.

Rypien?? Rypien didn't play earlier because the leather helmets used back then chafed his enormous skull.

Matty did. and again, Campbell has only seen another color uniform across from him during preseason. that and starting a season couldn't be more different.
