good points, but I'm not so sure Campbell is actually ready. I mentioned before that there were concerns with him in college regarding his ability to pick up offenses and the need to simplify the offense for him to grasp it. In that situation, I think he's actually helped by holding the clipboard for another year. Of course I'm speculating........but if he's listed as the #3 QB at the start of the season, I'd have to think that's why. We'll see.
