[QUOTE=SmootSmack;685130]So let's say the Bills draft Dan Lefevour, for argumen't sake, and trade for Jason Campbell. Campbell starts one year in Buffalo puts up strong numbers, in 2011 Favre retires, Campbell's a free agent and Bam! he's starting on a playoff team in Minnesota. Better than toiling as a backup here I'd think

Can't imagine Buffalo passing on Claussen at 9, or McCoy in the 2nd.
If Jason can find a starter's job anywhere, other than half a season caretaker, he should take it.

He's well past the point of needing to sit on the bench to learn system and scheme. If he's not at this point, he doesn't belong in the league

Starting somewhere would be more beneficial to developing leadership skills

I agree, but I don't think there is a starter's spot for him now.

Players don't generally respect guys who would prefer to be a back-up than a starter

I can't see any reason for Campbell to want to stay here[/QU

I don't see him starting anywhere this year except Buffalo or St.Louis, and only as a caretaker until Bradford/Claussen take over in week 8 or so.
