Rypien's first year in the NFL was 1988. He was the starter for most of 1989.

Now, granted, they were 24 and 26 respectively, and I have no clue what they were doing before then. However, I don't think that makes a difference in proving the point - there is no arguing this shows that Gibbs has demonstrated he isn't afraid to start inexperienced QBs that he believes in.

I believe Rypien was stashed on IR in 1987, technically his first year in the league.

Same deal with Schroeder, stashed on IR in 1984. He was taken in the 3rd round in '84.

Yeah I know we're splitting hairs here, point is they both still had more experience than Campbell would if he were to play next year.
