I just kind of took that point for granted, figuring there was no possible way we'd be dumb enough to find out.
I don't disagree that Campbell is as good or as close to as good as he's going to get. But any situation where Jason Campbell would fail would, by definition, be the worst situation McNabb has inherited in his career. If we can land a LT at No. 4, I'll predict that McNabb will have better numbers in 2010 than Campbell did in 09, but most of that will be Shanahan and Okung/Williams/healthy Cooley, compared to having McNabb.
Losing Campbell isn't a big loss, especially if we can get a comparable pick for him. But McNabb is obviously not a big-time gain, and right now, we don't have the pick. Hopefully we worked all of our bases to open the market for Campbell, and every party can benefit from this like Wilbon said.
Still don't think he will play 13 or more games as a Redskin.
