How Will Campbell Be Handled?

I could see holding him back if the offensive line couldn't protect him, but our line is a team strength and our qb isn't going to have to carry our offense anyway.

Where is all this evidence of young QBs succeeding?

Roethlisberger is the exception to the rule. For every Roethlisberger there are is a Joey Harrington, David Carr, Patrick Ramsey, etc.

QBs don't typically take their teams to the Super Bowl in year 2.
