I dont think it has anything to do with polish, (How polished can TB's Grabowski be? What big college stage did he play on?) and almost everything to do with a coach that just cannot get up to speed with how things are done in the 2006 NFL.

Philip Rivers played one (maybe two, can't remember) game his first two seasons. Having sat out the first two years hasn't hurt him in year three. There are countless other examples of QBs who sat the first couple of years and went on to be successful (Delhomme and Rypien for example. Two who played in Super Bowls)

Rivers was sitting behind another young 1st rnd pick (Breese) not a has been. Delhomme was a backup to Favre (HOFer) and went to Carolina so he could play. Rypien was in 1991, thats ancient history in the NFL, things are not done that way anymore.

Sure none of these guys were hurt sitting out a few seasons but they were sitting out because they were behind real starters. Campbell is not backing up a superior QB he backing up a has been.
