NFL NETWORK: Total Access

Maybe Gibbs was nervous that Ramsey might walk after 2006, but walk where? Why can't we sign Ramsey to a long term deal now while his price is low? But with all the other glaring needs offensively, a third string qb who none of us really wants to see play in the next two years is not the answer.

As for drafting Rogers, I'm really torn. Obviously we needed a young corner with Smoot leaving the year after Champ, but the one thing that Gregg Williams's defense showed me was that he could get unheralded players to produce. I don't doubt that Rogers will be a good fit for our defense, he already reminds me a lot of Springs, but our defense obviously was not the problem last year.

I'm disappointed we didn't draft Mike Williams, or any receiver for that matter. But I do like Gibbs getting the big back for short yardage situations, and maybe we need more size at fullback in order to get our running game going. I do know that we didn't need a young qb, especially with Hasselbeck ALREADY ON THE TEAM!! I wasn't upset last year when we passed over Winslow for Taylor because safety has been a need area since Alvin Walton left, but to give up next year's #1 plus two more picks for a kid that we hope won't have to play for two years is not something that 6-10 teams normally do.

I think the Campbell pick was ok, but he will have to be better than Ramsey in order for it to make sense.


If you think Campbell is not going to start in '06 you maybe surprised then when he wins the job in training camp.

Scenerio:
What if Campbell shines in camp this season & noticeably performs above Ramsey, are you going to support the decision to start Campbell..?

Lets not forget offensive players are leaving not because Gibbs calls are to conservative, but the talent at the signal caller position is in question. If you can remember Gibbs in his hayday he threw the deep ball with explosive execution. Ramsey has not shown me he can place a deep ball where he wants, nevermind a perfect fade route pass as well.

Campbell will most likely be the starter in '06.

With the crazy things that have been happening, I can definitely see that as a possibility.

BTW, if anyone has the NFL Network and "On Demand" cable (sort of like cable's version of TiVo), you can see Robert McCune. Go to On Demand, then to Sports, then to NFL Network, then to NFL Draft, and then click on Robert McCune. You'll see why I love the guy.

Because he lifts rocks as weights? LOL

I saw the interview on the NFL network as well, and what they were saying is you don't draft a QB in the first round to have him sit, they believe at some point Campbell will be starting this season, which I agree you don't draft a QB #1 unless you plan to play him, I don't agree he will be on the field this year, every perdiction on this kid is he's 3 years away, we could have drafted a QB next year who was a year away, do the math. This pick was plain and simpley stupid.

Gibbs has said this kid has great mobility which he uses to make play's, but all I have heard is he can't throw on the run and his mobility is not that great?

I know. It's weird. I've heard both sides of that. People saying he is a GREAT runner and people saying he has poor mobility. I mean, in seeing him play, I think we can put the mobility thing to rest.

I don't like the pick! If Campell was worth 3 pic's wouldn't some one else have grabed him before 25?? I sure hope I'm wrong, and not Joe Gibbs!

According to Janson Gibbs has said that "this year is Ramsey's year" so I don't see a competition during training camp for the starting job. The only way Campbell will see the field this year is if Ramsey gets hurt or he stinks it up worse then Brunnel did.

I'd prefer for Campbell to come in before Brunell if Ramsey goes down. Better to give the rookie some game experience, rather than put in Mr. Washed-Up.

Ramsey nevers seems to have good camps. Last year was a prime example. So the preceding posts do a good job at convincing me that if history is any indication, there remains a distinct possibility that Gibbs may actually have a hard time determining who the starter is.

And yes, I read Jason Campbell has good mobility. That was one of his positives, I thought.
