I agree - our QB corps is a big question mark. In fact, I know I'll bring on the wrath here, but I really wished we got Cutler. Or any *franchise* QB. Hey -- if JC is our franchise QB, then I'd be the happiest guy in the world. This is the year for him to prove it.

BUT, drafting these QB's waste a half-decade. Because:
1) Draft QB -- waste a high draft pick (TWO for JC)
2) Wait TWO YEARS as QB holds the clipboard and flirts with the cheerleaders.
3) Wait another 2-3 years to see if he pans out.
4) 50% bust rate for QB's => we may have wasted 4-5yrs
5) Waste another high draft pick and start franchise over

Having a young franchise QB that sticks around for 15-20yrs saves your team decades of progress & numerous high draft picks. In fact, this may be one of the other reasons the teams with great QB's are so good. Those teams don't have to waste high draft picks on QB's again and again.

So I'm just hoping Campbell finally breaks out this year. Then we can use that draft pick next year on a stud O-line guy, a LB or even a RB. Otherwise we'll draft a new QB & have to wait another 4-5 years to "develop" him. (unless we get Matt Ryan)
