I'd had that thought in my head since he was first named starter...that I hope the team or fans don't get impatient and give up on him right away. He has the body, the brains, the skills (from what we've seen) and the desire to be a sucessful NFL QB. All he needs is the experience and we can't ignore that. Even Peyton Manning threw 8 INTs in his first 7 games, so we can't expect the world from him at first. Favre threw 37 TDs and 37 INTs in his first 2 years. Elway's rookie season had 7 TDs and 14 INTs and 47 TD/42 INT in his first 3 years!
We need to give him at LEAST 2 full seasons in my opinion. If by then, he still looks like a rookie, we'll need to get a "new" QB of the future. We've invested a LOT in Campbell...timewise and otherwise, so we can't give up if we don't like what we see immediately.
