This is NOT a knock on Campbell, just a comment on his experience. In another season, Patrick Ramsey is going to be a fine quarterback for someone.

We're talking about different things.
I was talking about the "reads" that are designed into pass plays...going from one receiver to the next if the first isn't open.
