I'm not pulling this claim out of my ass. I don't have any sources, but I know I've heard him specifically make referances to Jason Campbell's faith.
Of course I'm not saying its the end all be all in Gibb's book, but listening to Gibbs speak over the years I do get a strong impression this factor is significant in picking his QB. I think he liked JC too much to draft anybody else.
Just because most people might not value faith as highly when choosing a quarterback, doesn't mean Gibbs doesn't.
