He did qualify his statements quite a bit, guys.

One element Campbell does have going for him, beyond his impressive physical skills-set, is that he was handpicked by Gibbs to, at some point down the road, stop the team's quarterback carousel. That gives him a meaningful edge over Patrick Ramsey, the last first-round quarterback taken by Washington before Campbell, in 2002. Having inherited Ramsey, the current coaches owed him no loyalty and so the staff essentially completed the systematic undermining of his confidence begun by Steve Spurrier, awarding him the starting job at the outset of last season and then benching him after the first half of the opening game. Subsequently, Ramsey was traded to the Jets for an undisclosed draft pick in March.

As for when Campbell gets there, well, it's still anyone's guess. The suspicion in Washington is that if Brunell were injured during a game, Collins, who has averaged just 3.4 pass attempts over the last eight seasons, would take over and finish the contest. If the injury sidelined Brunell for a game or two, the staff would prepare Campbell to be the starter.
That is, however, just guesswork.

Once again, it's basically just an article attempting to say something when there's nothing to say at this point. Gibbs and Saunders have not decided yet what their QB depth chart looks like, they will evaluate in the preseason. And then it could change from there throughout the season.
It's way too early to write an article like this and Lenny P knows it. But he has to write something.
