Here's how I see that unfolding:
Basically Campbell cracks the line-up in his third possibly 4th year:
Ramsey goes to Miami or Chicago next year - via trade or FA...who knows?
Brunell pretty much flat out wins the QB job and tutors JC thru camp and reg. season.
Year 3 Campbell and Brunell battle for QB position, Campbell wins- Brunell backs him up and retires the following season. Sounds good, ey:)
What QB's aren't projects though?
Only thing is we can afford to let him sit this year, while most teams are pressured into playing their rookie QBs before they are really ready.
I think Campbell will be ready to compete for the job next year. He's our only sure thing at QB next year. Either Ramsey or Brunell will likely be gone.

I think that could be very close to what happens.
Campbell will be ready to start by year 2 at worst.
If he's not ready until year 3 or 4, that's way too late.

Hey, I hope you're right. But who goes first Ramsey or Brunell?

Ramsey at this point is auditioning for a job somewhere else because he hasn't proven that he can lead this team into the playoffs and god forbid a Superbowl victory. In fact, I can't even bring myself to put Ramsey and Superbowl in the same sentence.

well, trent dilfer won a superbowl riding on a defense, so anything's possible.

Furthermore, look at the Ravens....just think if they had a QB last year, most certainly they would have gone further.
Has Ramsey really had a chance to show he can lead the team to the playoffs?
He only started 7 games last year, and in 2003 his season was cut short due to injury.

From the little I saw of him I would tend to agree with that, even though he made some mistakes out there, he wasen't a deer in headlights either, he was attacking the defense which is a very good sign of his inner confidence in his abilties, I think Campbell has a real belief that he will succeed, now he has to convince the rest of us.
