Re: campbell is culpepper clone?
I'd prefer to compare Campbell to a young Doug Williams, although from all I've heard, Campbell has already developed a nice touch on his long passes that Williams lacked early in his career. Both have (had) rocket arms able to throw any pass in the book, both excelled on medium to long range passes, and both were good scramblers with excellent mobility (Williams scrambled far less in his later years, when he played in Washington). However, Williams was often maligned for overthrowing receivers; the papers said he was the only person who could overthrow the regime in Iran. It wasn't until after a few years in the USFL that Williams improved on his touch, allowing him to torch secondaries once he joined the 'Skins. Expect Campbell to have his share of growing pains, but also expect him to contribute sometime in the next two or three years.
