I mean Tampa chose Garcia. Holmgren grabbed Hasselbeck from Green Bay. Andy Reid developed McNabb from scratch. I can't think of a West Coast team choosing a non West Coast QB. I think there's got to be a reason for that, they're very different systems emphasizing very different skill sets.
Campbell may just translate well to it with the right coaching. But I think you're way off in saying the system won't be an issue.

System is an issue. Just not one we can ever evaluate due to the impossibility to seperate it from the players themselves.
Off the top of my head:
Rich Gannon (1999)
Brian Griese (2004)
Brad Johnson (2001)
Marc Bulger (2006)
Chad Pennington (2006)
Delhomme, maybe?
The big issue with the WCO is that it usually combines itself with another offensive philosophy. You don't really see an offense that ever does what
wikipedia would define as the WCO. Therefore, we can't predict right now if there will be any player struggles, since we don't yet know what if anything is changing.
