You said he will only get us to the NFC Champ game, I don't understand why you picked that level.

Does this mean Colt will only take us to the Wild Card round?

Thats just a case of looking at the skill level of Super Bowl QB's (guys who got there). Guys like Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Big Ben, Kurt Warner, Eli Manning, Tom Brady. Of that group the only guy I can see Campbells max potential on par with is Eli Manning, and recently Eli's taken his game to another level since winning the Super Bowl.

Being more specific that difficulty reading defenses will kill us in the playoffs unless we can pick up the slack elsewhere either with a dominant running or elite defense, and even then it's difficult to win, especially if you're facing another top flight QB. You saw an example of that this year with the Jets when they faced the Colts. Plus in the playoffs thats were you see the most difficult and elaborate defenses.

Do you really think that even with protection Campbell will be able to dissect them? Even when Campbell had protection we barely beat the Eagles back in 2008. Those are the type of defenses you will see come playoff time. Campbell will either have to unexpectedly evolve or we'll need to find a new QB.

If you want to make it to the playoffs by the skin of your teeth and possibly have a lucky run at the Super Bowl then Campbell is your guy. If you want to be a threat to not only make it, but win it every year then we'd be smart to take a risk one of the top two QB's assuming they end up evaluated as potential franchise QB's.
