What the heck is a gradual platoon??

The young QB's playing time might start with a series or two, with plays he handles well, planned and practised. Then, his playing time is increased gradually until the point where he might start and play an entire game.
Whether Campbell would be our starter for a final playoff run depends upon his progress. If it doesn't go well with him, we have Brunell fairly fresh over the final half of the season rather than the first half.

Platoons at QB don't work in the NFL, that's the bottom line.

It's a creative idea. The Browns did it. Most people thought it was a good way to handle a young QB and I agree.

Once again I will ask for an example of a successful QB platoon in the NFL. And by successful I mean a platoon that at least got a team to the playoffs.

I can't think of one. Platooning has been rare in the NFL.
On the other hand, it's not as though we're tossing away a better option. Mark isn't likely to do it on his own either.
My suggestion is an attempt to make the best of a less-than-ideal QB situation.
