28. Redskins (2006 Rank: 13)

Jason Campbell fared well in seven late-season starts last year. He didn't make the highlight reel very often, but he avoided sacks (just seven) and fumbles (one) and proved that he was a decent decision maker. Campbell must improve his accuracy and show that he can handle the entire playbook. Backup Mark Brunell is on his last legs. His arm is spent and he bails on too many plays. Todd Collins is a well-traveled third stringer. Rookie Jordan Palmer is Carson Palmer's brother, but most of their similarities are buried in the DNA sequence.

------------------------------------------------

There's really no excuse for anyone to put Campbell above 20. He's done nothing on the field to merit it, but has shown so much promise that here in D.C. that we worry little.

Of all the young QB's that we've gone through here, can you remember one with the poise JC has? Whenever the pocket broke down or the play fell apart, JC was making plays. He had his dump offs, he managed the game, but he improved.... a lot.

If he threw an interception... BANG he'd come back with a touchdown drive. When his headset went out during a pivotal part of a game, he called the play that worked in practice... touchdown.

He just hasn't shown the characteristic young QB panic that usually leads to turnovers. I attribute that all to the FO and Gibbs for drafting him early, and grooming him into what is likely to be a very good QB.
