Who traded up to aquire Jason Campbell? We all thought to ourselves, what the hell is Joe thinking?

Now we have our Franchise QB. From what I saw last year Campbell is the real deal.

Joe Gibbs is a football GOD and knows a hell of alot more about building a winning team than he gets credit for.

I really liked Campbell when he & Auburn beat my Hokies in 05 & I thought he'd make a great nfl qb, so I was really happy w/the trade to get him. It was criticized, I remember listening to espn radio when the trade was leaked before the draft & Dan Patrick ripped us for the trade. But we knew that Joe wouldn't hurry him in & we would need a qb for the future. We've got one & that shouldn't be underestimated in the least as a lot of teams don't.

So I agree, let's not knock Joe until we know more about the front office decision making. I personally think Joe is starting to exert his influence on the team, after listening to the wrong people last year. Look for him to be more hands on this year & get back to coaching.
