Based on what?

I know that some people think that because he's sat for a year and a half that must mean he's garbage, but Gibbs is known for bringing his QBs along pretty slowly, so it's really not that much of a surprise.

i agree with matty here, I think JC's lack of time is a function of Gibbs' preference for expirience as opposed to his lack of skill.

If JC was ready and looked good in practice he'd be playing. Gibbs says they are playing the QB that gives them the best chance to win and he does not think JC is that man. If Gibbs thought for a minute JC gave the team a better chance to win he'd play him but he doesnt so JC sits.

I dont know if JC is good or bad (I'm not watching practice) but Gibbs et al do watch and so far he has shown them he's not ready yet. Like I said, lots of less experienced QBs have shown enough to become starters ahead of shakey vets, JC aint one of them.

Gibbs obviously thought enough of Campbell to give up the picks to trade up for him. Coming out of college he was considered to be a bit of a project that could benefit by sitting a while, couple that with Gibbs' history of sticking with vets to the bitter end and bringing young QBs along slowly and it all makes logical sense if you ask me.

Gibbs is also the guy that said we scouted Desmond Howard and saw no flaws. College and pro are entirely different (as you well know) and because a player is highly regarded coming out of college is no guarantee he will work out in the pros.

Joe Gibbs has never said Jason Campbell is not ready to play, as a matter of fact it's quite the contrary. The last time the question was put to Gibbs he said they think the world of Jason Campbell, and also said he thinks he can win games for us now. Where this idea that Campbell is not ready came from I have no idea, but it's pure conjecture and time to be laid to rest. No one in the Redskins organization has made that statement. The only reason he's not playing is because Gibbs is enamoured with Brunell and will not make a change until he absolutely has too, and knowing Gibbs, we understand that whether we like it/accept it or not.
