Not even one full year of being a starter makes him a vet?

Yeah but he's got 20 starts under his belt total and he'll be entering his 4th NFL season.

You know what I mean.

Maybe this will answer your question courtesy of JLC:

Might as well start with some of the wacky quarterback controversy talk that's been brewing the last few weeks. Can we put it to bed now? They found the perfect relief pitcher for this system, who can give them a burst when needed and fill in admirably. But to diminish Campbell's development in any way to turn over the keys to Todd, well, it boggles my mind that anyone who suggest it. Todd is human. Todd makes mistakes. Todd is 36. Rejoice in what he is and the security he provides, and rejoice in that fact that a young potential franchise QB with great physical gifts and poise and maturity well beyond his years continues to stay ahead of the curve and make significant strides.

Yesterday to me should end madness about this position. What did Todd Collins look like late, when he was trailing and had to chase the game for the first time (they'd never trailed in the previous 4 games)? How did that attempted comeback go? What was it like when the offensive line got overwhelmed and he was hit regularly and Portis and Moss looked like the dudes struggling to get it right in October and November, and not the stars from December? Well, guess what, that's what Jason was working with for the better part of 12 weeks.

Having three years in the league (regardless of playing time) makes him a vet in my book.

Everyone talked about what great strides he made last offseason. If he can do that again, hopefully Gibbs and Saunders will trust him enough to more than they did this year.
