This is the going rate of a franchise QB these days, and while Campbell probably won't command as much money as Roethlisberger in 2009, we are going to have to pay him like a franchise QB.

I'm not 100% sure I agree that Romo is necessarily better. I think his receivers are far superior, but I don't know that he's better. Outside of the season after the accident, when Big Ben was hurt, he's shown me more than Romo. I think Romo is a very, very good player and he is a more special player, he makes a lot more mistakes than I would want. As many of you know, I live with a Boys fan, so I saw a lot of his games, I think Romo is very good, but I believe that Big Ben is a better all around passer.
