The draft has plenty of developmental QBs, but there's not a single one of them that can start in week 1 of 2010 and, in my opinion, you don't spend a first round pick (especially a high one) on a player who cannot make an immediate impact. You also have to look at how many teams will be looking for new coaches in 2010. And what is one thing that almost every new coach wants? A veteran quarterback. If Cowher ends up in Carolina, he's going to want a veteran QB and Campbell's the cream of the available crop. Campbell is improving his stock every week. He's showing what he can do when his line protects him and his receivers make plays. If we don't want to retain Campbell, there's certainly going to be a team out there who'd trade a 2nd for him.
