good news and bad news for Oakland

Gibbs never wanted to develop a young QB, he had a preference of working with older veterans, and maybe he had a win-now attitude with all the pressures of being a Redskins coach (hence why he didn't bother with Ramsey). Also, once JC didn't immediately pan out, Snyder wanted a new QB. I just hope the team does a better job in the future with QBs; because I feel that starting with Ramsey, we didn't do a good job at either picking QBs or developing them.

They said all this on Mike and Mike today?

It wasn't today, I think it was last week. I downloaded the podcast. Both Mikes were talking about that JC may or may not be a starting QB in the league, but they felt they had not seen JC in a situation where he was allowed to proof that. I don't know if I'd go this far though, but I do feel that he needed to go elsewhere to get a 2nd chance.

Rajmahal, your quote is similar to what the Mikes concluded. That they felt no one knows whether JC is a good or bad QB. The said the same of Brady Quinn.

I think folks here make a good point, Gibbs did trade up to get JC, so there must have been something about him that they like. But, I do also believe that Gibbs wasn't into developing a young QB. So it is curious to see where did that decision to get Campbell came from.

Did they say that stuff about Rodgers and Snyder though?

No, the Rodgers thing was more of my speculation from rumors that I don't remember now where I heard them from. Although I believe they said something along the lines of Campbell falling to the Redskins.

Mike and Mike are complete jokes. I'll never forget the day I stopped listening to them. They actually had the audacity to say that Thurman Thomas wasn't a first ballot hall of famer.
