While Gibbs may have appreciated JC's faith, I highly doubt he made personnel decisions around that. Gibbs always had a cast of characters on his teams.

What is interesting is that the Redskins scurried to trade up at that point to secure Jason Campbell as the #25 pick.

Homer Simpson says it best ...

Well it's easy to look back. What in the hell were the 49ers thinking??? He was right there in their back yard and they still passed on him! And for Alex Smith?? But he wound up in the right place. GB is a stable organization. If he was here or SF, he probably would not be the QB he is today.

Yup. Rodgers rode the pine behind Favre for several years, allowing him to grow into his role without too many negative forces impinging on his confidence or play. On the other hand, Smith got thrown into things fairly early, without such a grace period, and took some knocks which must have hurt his confidence.

The guy is a major talent. I think he'd make any team better. Yes, GB has got better talent. No one knows though.
