I could live with a loosing season if it meant we were attempting to develop a QB of the future. The QB is the heart and soul of every team from an offensive standpoint, it would serve us well to start thinking in that direction starting now.

It didn't hurt Palmer to sit for a year, and it doesn't appear to be hurting Rivers to sit out two years. Campbell is going to be a great QB, but I don't know that there's any definitive proof that he'd be better off long-term playing right now. Didn't Delhomme sit a few years as well?
What I would like is for Campbell to play in NFL Europe next spring
