I think we all need to check our math LOL:
Jason Campbell was born on 12/31/81
Phillip Rivers was born on 12/8/81
They are both 24 right now and will turn 25 next month.
LOL!! So who said Campbell was 26 then? I guess that just blew up that argument...hahahaha

I would feel like someone hit me in the face with a shovel...this can't be serious...if they start collins, its as if they're throwing darts at a board as a decision making process
Throwing darts is much more scientific that the process that Barnum & Bailey er our front office uses.

Rivers will have almost an entire NFL season in his resume before Campbell gets his first SNAP. that situation has less to do with our current situation than Mark Rypien.
Rypien?? Rypien didn't play earlier because the leather helmets used back then chafed his enormous skull.

You're missing my point. They are starting younger now.
Eli Manning 23.
Chris Simms 25.
V Young 23.
I didn't realize you had a point to begin with.

Matty did. and again, Campbell has only seen another color uniform across from him during preseason. that and starting a season couldn't be more different.

That's your opinion...but the fact is that Gibbs isn't the only coach who believes in giving the young guy the clipboard for a couple years, and it's proved to be just as effective. Moreover, the season isn't over yet, and we may in fact see Campbell either this weekend or possibly sometime before the season is over.

Again, our season is done. We need to know what Campbell is capable of period? What would be the upside of starting Collins? Anyone?
Dang me, Matty had to go spoil it with book lernin', and cyphers

Its obvious that Gibbs loves his veteran QB's . Its been that way ever since he came to DC. I don't know why people are so surprised/outraged that he hasn't started Campbell. I mean, I want Campbell to play too, but I know how Gibbs is and we'll just have to play the waiting game. Does it suck? Yes. Do we get anything out of complaining about in every f-ing thread? No. Best thing to do is wait and see. At this point, it doesn't really matter who's under center because the problem is a team problem...not just one player.
Trust me, I want Campbell just as bad as the next guy, but we have to be realistic and wait for Gibbs to make that decision. Thats all we can do.

No one is arguing that. The point is, it's not always the best thing to throw the young guy into the fire before his time. This isn't something local to what Gibbs does apparently AND it's proved to have been good for QBs like Green, or Rivers.
