Well, I assume he can play based on his college production with 4 different offensive coodinators. Guys who bust tend to have two things in common.

a) they didn't start that many games in college
b) they completed a relatively low % of their passes in college

Campbell was a 4 year starter who's completion % improved steadily over time in the defense-dominant SEC. He's going to be a good QB at the pro level. But he has the slow learner label and you don't want to rush him. This team is still trying to win games now.

And even if you put him in now and he struggles with an argueably inferrior football team to the one he will be QBing, you still don't know if he can play.
