Seriously, why can't we just acknowledge that Jason Campbell is probably somewhere between the 15-25th best starter in the NFL. Let's say, for argument's sake that he's the 20th best starter (worse that I think). You better be damn sure that the 4th overall pick (if you take a QB there) is going to be at least a top 10 QB, IMO. It makes no sense to slightly upgrade the QB position with the 4th pick. you have to hit a home run and that guy has got to be a beast.

We have no idea what Colt is, but I have no real issue with an open competition for the starting QB spot in camp. I think the Brennan fans will be disappointed if that happens, though. I don't see Colt being a big upgrade over Jason, a rookie maybe, but probably not Colt. He reminds me a little of a bad Tony Romo and I don't see him making the team this year. (That's coming from a guy who really likes Colt, but isn't delusional enough to believe he can be a great starter in the NFL)

I'm not saying that I don't think Allen and Shanahan can come together and find a great QB at the top of the draft, I'm just saying, he'd better turn out to be a significant upgrade. I don't know that I see that in any of the kids coming out this year.
