Roethlisberger, Carson Palmer, even Favre really don't fall into this category. That category is pretty much Manning, Brady, Rivers. And while Campbell will never be one of those guys, a half decent roster will win a lot of games with Jason Campbell.

Very well said. I think a lot of people who criticize JC forget how difficult it is to even find 32 people in the entire world who can even play the position, let alone play it well. In any given season at most 20 guys will play like legitimate NFL starters. At least 12 teams will be grasping at straws with bums. If you have one of these upper tier guys, and we do, you should count yourself lucky.

Moreover, when you factor in the years of development, draft resources, and money required in grooming a new starter, as well as the uncertain odds that they will even develop into a decent player, it's hard to argue against what we have. Ryan and Flacco seem to have clouded most people's memory of the recent past, in which most QB's, even those drafted in the first round, flop and flop hard.

So in fantasy NFL land I'd take Manning or Matt Ryan over JC. Back in the real world I think we have much more pressing needs on this team to address.
