Don't know if I agree with that. If you believe Ramsey was destined to be a solid franchise quarterback, then yes, Campbell might not have been considered. But then, if we had that solid, franchise quarterback in Ramsey, then we wouldn't have needed Campbell, right?
If we can kick back for a second and play the "we should have done it THIS way" game, then I think Gibbs should have taken a calm, measured approach to the roster when he came back to the Redskins in January 2004. Why couldn't he have given Ramsey one complete year under his tutelage to learn Gibbs' offense, and see how things played out?
The answer of course, is that Gibbs saw something in the films of Ramsey that turned him off. And judging by Ramsey's success since he was traded, it looks like Gibbs was right. So I think it would be fair to say that unless Ramsey tore it up in 2004, Campbell would still have been drafted a year later. Hell, even if he did tear it up, Gibbs might have selected Campbell anyway as his quarterback project for the future.
