Ramsey is no guarantee to re-sign with the Skins when his deal is up, and I think Gibbs learned this hard lesson with Pierce and Smoot. I think the last thing Gibbs wants is to have to start completely over at QB in 2 years. Brunell isn't even going to be here then, and does anyone seriously want Hasselbeck as the #1?
Campbell has 2 years to develop as our insurance policy, and who knows, maybe he ends up beating out Ramsey at some point.
The Times has a great article that articulates this reasoning.
