(Merged) Jason Campbell

Not much of a surprise to me. I figured he would be here. I like the pick, gonna put some good motivation into P. Ramsey this season. Now the question is, how long will Ramsey be here.

If Ramsey comes to play, he'll be here ahile. If not, how many more years do you want to go with him? Janson put it best, its Ramseys shot this year....its his 4th year. Step up and take over this team. If he cant, I am sure glad we have a little insurance now

what picks do we have left?

Seriously, I do not know what people think when it comes to this FO. But no one should be surprised. They never do what you think there gonna do. Kinda funny how a lot of people bought into the whole smoke screen thing. I think Gibbs doesn't really trust Ramsey and is bringing in a qb that threw for 60% completion percentage.

And we can't dump brunell. I'm not pleased, and it makes the FO look like goons: targeting a guy before the draft, alowing it to get out (to pastabelly, no less) what they were going to do, and then going into paranoid, nixon-style leak control--wow. And now we have a brewing QB controversy, no new wideout, no 1st rounder next year, and we get the ass-clown FO award of the year.

BUt just imagine if Aaron Rogers hadn't slipped and Green Bay picked Campbell. Wow. NO wonder GIbbs looked so tense when he went on TV after #9. They got very lucky, assuming this was their goal all along.

And now we have a brewing QB controversy, no new wideout, no 1st rounder next year, and we get the ass-clown FO award of the year.

Umm, last I checked, we had two new wide-outs for this year in Moss and Patten...

I don't doubt this guy is a great QB - didn't he just lead Auburn undefeated, plus they had a very good running game (so similarilites there), HOWEVER coming into this draft our offence needed a shot in the arm.

Adding a QB that will sit on the bench (providing Gibbs is true to his word that this is Ramseys team this year) doesn't seem like an idea to add points on the board!!!
Are we gonna carry 4 QBs ? ...
Ramsey - given the job by Gibbs
Campbell - just drafted
Brunell - can't afford to get rid of him
Hasselbeck - 'cus of his wife!

Maybe it will all work out and we'll win 12 next year, but passing on Mike Williams to me was a HUGE mistake and taking a QB in round 1 when we have other bigger needs is another (not to mention the other mistakes in this offseason). Our FO used to be joked about for being an easy few extra mill on a contract, now its just a joke.

Without a pick until round 4 (thanks to trading this years 3rd to Denver in the trade to get Campbell) we are gonna struggle to add players to REALLY make waves on our team next season - and with the way things our going I see us drafting Clarett!!!!

With the Moss/Taylor stuff as well as everything else, watching this years offseason for the skins is almost as bad as watching our offence last season!

This pick is utter incompetence! We give up 3 pick's including our #1 next year, [which after seeing this pick I have concluded will be a very high pick because Gibbs is insane] for a mediocre QB that is NOT 1st round material, who was going to draft this kid if we didn't? This kid isn't McNabb, McNair, Culpepper, Leftwich, and here's the scary part I don't believe he's even Aaron Brooks.

Gibbs is like a moth to the flame when it comes to QB's he can't help himself. He killed us with Brunell last year, and now we give away next years draft to move into the first round to pick a player who wouldn't be drafted until the second.

Say what you want but I was right about brunell last year and i will be right about this kid as his future unfolds, but don't worry we will trade him for a conditional 6th or 7th rd. pick in 3 year's.

Although this may be a ploy to help Patrick feel more comfortable and secure about his starting role, now we have no backups, no wonder he was so understanding when he was told we were drafting Campbell, it was also a good job by us to resign Hasselbach! Kind of reminds me of the McCants resigning last year, resign him and then sit Patricks favorite target on the bench, that is when he was active, it's not like a pattern is forming or anything. :banghead: :doh:

Right, I meant drafted WR. Fair enough. It's just I was hoping for another. Oh, well. YOu don't win without a QB, and if Ramsey either goes down or fails to reach the next level, we are truly screwed. So now we've got QB depth. Hope it works out.

As for the FO--was this worth the picks?

not disagreeing with u, but i am curious to know why u like it. i dont really know how to feel about it


I see them having him carrying the clipboard for at least 2 seasons. Finally the RIGHT way to bring on a QB.

I do think its a good idea to add depth everywhere...but I don't think this draft was one in which we had the luxury of drafting for depth. We still have needs at WR, TE, and DE...and few draft picks to fill them. In my opinion it was a wasted pick, especially with Heath Miller, Dan Cody, and Roddy White still on the board...especially since we don't have a second rounder.

Totally agree flyfischer.......QB wasn't an area of urgent need.......we could have picked a WR or gotten some help on defense............I was thinking about some of the same players that were still available. Not a happy camper. :mad:
