That being said, while I would definitely welcome a good draft pick for Campbell, I don't think we necessarily need to part ways with him. Other people are in charge now (not Vinny or Snyder) and even if we draft Bradford or Clausen, we need a QB to start right away so we don't throw a rook QB into the fire.

Lets see... the Falcons did pretty well throwing a Rook into the fire as did Detroit, Baltimore, and the Jets. I too believe stats aren't everything. I believe there is more JC then his excellent stats people keep refering to. Yes he's "Safe" with the ball. Safe doesn't mean he is connecting with his receivers all the time, it simply means he's not fumbling, or throwing interceptions. JC got around the latter by throwing the ball out of bounds so no one could get it or throwing a dirt ball.

What it doesn't speak to is his failure to read defenses and adjust his protection, get through his progressions fast enough, failure to finess the ball in some situations (it's not all about drilling the ball with power), and accuracy (too many balls behind the receivers or over thrown).

But since he was a starter for a few yrs I'd think we would get a low 1st round out of him or 2nd round. I'd settle for a 2nd round but you have to go with what the market will give or keep him. If a 3rd and a 5th is all we can get then either cut Collins and keep JC as our Vet or take the trade.
