Re: Campbell will compete with a rookie next yr.

I'm not totally convinced that Campbell is staying. I suspect the Skins will offer him a one-year tender and if someone bites and offers another draft pick they'll take it.

Let's say it's a high pick like Bradford, do you think it's possible he starts as a rookie?

I would think he has to unless we bring in some type of vet QB until he's ready...

If anything I can behind though is letting rookies take their lumps. If we do take Bradford I hope he's tougher than his track record behind THIS line.

Re: Campbell will compete with a rookie next yr.

This scenario is all well and good if the 1st round pick isn't wasted on a QB. This has been and will be debated all over this board, but the offensive line needs to be addressed BIG time. We have the chance to get the best olineman in the draft, and probably a starter in the 2nd round as well. I dont see any need in drafting a QB at all this year. I think this organization will be pleasantly surprised by the success Jason would have behind a good oline.

Re: Campbell will compete with a rookie next yr.

It just makes no sense to draft a QB that high who has duribility questions. As to trading down, I don't see why asking about Marshall on draft day isn't a good move. The guy can play and gives us a chance to get rid of ARE and gives us a true #1 WR. Synder likes big names and it helps that Shanahan is familar w/ Marshall. Draft an OT at 10 (the kid from MD) and get a OG in the 2nd. We "could" draft a QB in the 4th, but I don't think that's smart.

No, it doesn't. The two had a serious falling out in Denver. I'll bet Shanny digs Don Hutson out of his grave and signs him before he even thinks of bringing in Marshall.

Re: Campbell will compete with a rookie next yr.

I am excited to see what Shannahan can do with Campbell. I still am hoping that we take a QB in the first. I think we can get a starting RT with the second pick. Use the forth to draft a center and either pick an LB through free agency or trade for one. I think this team is a lot closer than people are saying. The line has some good Guard prospects and I think that Levi Jones could be our LT next year.

Re: Campbell will compete with a rookie next yr.

It's worth noting Elway didn't have a real big time type of season until 1993. Up until then his stats weren't anything all that special. Shanahan wasn't his HC until '95 by the way.

You know I said something similar to my Brother yesterday. I told him I looked at Elway's career stats and they're not that impressive. And you what he told me? "Yeah, but what was his 4th Quarter stats when the game is on the line?"

At that point I had to concede.

Lol, maybe he had to play so well in the fourth quarter because he sucked for the first 3.

Under Shanahans tutelage, Terrill Davis was the final piece to success for that Offense.

Re: Campbell will compete with a rookie next yr.

Campbell has NOT earned a spot on this roster for next year. Sorry guys. His horrible accuracy beyond 15 yards is alarming. He can't even throw a "hail mary" without it sailing out of bounds. His numbers are only there due to dinks and dunks. Might as well bring back Brunell...he can do that too.

Well I want a rookie too, but Campbell's got guts. I want him back next year to show what he can do, with a real coach. If nothing else, so our rookie does'nt get killed in his first year. Campbell earned another year to at least compete to start. He kind of won me over the way Tom Cruise won over Val Kilmer in top gun. He can QB my team anytime, or at least until Bradford is ready to take the helm. Remember, Drew Breese looked terrible until they drafted Phillip Rivers.

Colt McCoy just became available to us in the second round.....something to consider.
