I agree 100% with your logic in theory - but not when it comes to our situation in 2010.
If we draft a top QB in the draft next year, there's no way we should start him behind a line as bad as this one... it would just be too much to ask of a rookie QB. Besides, none of the top QBs in this draft impress me as being "NFL-ready." There's potential there, sure - but i wouldnt be confident investing a top 10 pick in any of them. My opinion may change as the draft approaches (it always does), but at this point, thats how i feel. Sanchez seemed more NFL-ready in college than any of these guys and look how he's playing in his rookie season.
Keeping Campbell for another year wouldnt do a thing for the franchise or Campbell in 2010 - it would just allow us to remain competitive while redshirting whatever QB we draft before he took over in 2011.
