Many posts since my last one.

You make a good point when you say that the amount we gave up to get Campbell is an indication that Ramsey's days are numbered. But I don't think that is necessarily a knock on Ramsey, I think it's more of a vote of confidence for Campbell.

Gibbs thought highly enough of the young man to give up several draft picks. But despite thinking that highly of him, he still names Ramsey as the starter. Gibbs may like Campbell's chances to lead the team in the long term a lot better than he likes Ramsey's, so in that respect you're right. But for this season, which is all I'm saying, this season Ramsey is the starter.

The argument against the Chargers doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Sure, their payroll has $10 million budgeted towards a couple QBs. Is that a misallocation of resources? Yeah, maybe. But they were friggin 12-4. And that's the bottom line.

I'll gladly pay 2 QBs a lot of money if it means we're back in contention.

Also, Gibbs may not share your view that the team had more pressing needs. Many argue that WR was a big need and DE was a big need, and we had all these needs. It seems to me that Gibbs didn't think so. Maybe he's wrong, who knows. It's certainly fine to question the logic. But if the team performs well this year despite these "holes" in the roster, people should be prepared to change their tune.
