What are are seeing is Gibbs plan of action to make sure he produces a winning team in the time that he can stay with the team.
If Campbell needs two years to develop, he could start in Gibbs 4th year. Chances are, his first real shot at going deep into the playoffs would be in Gibbs 5th (last) or 6th (good luck) season.
We traded next years number one pick and more to find some insurance for Gibbs to be able to win big before he retires for good.

Well said.
I think this offseason was a rude awakening for Gibbs in free agency. He saw so called "core guys" walk for more money. That could easily happen again, and god forbid it happens with Ramsey after he hypothetically puts up good numbers over the next two years. Then what? Campbell is Gibbs' insurance policy at QB.
