Honestly I didnt even look at the complete list. The main reason why I didnt was the way our offense got shut down last year. The Skins had the 4th ranked defense in the NFL and had trouble winning games. No matter who is ranked ahead of Campbell/Portis its hard for me to say they should be higher on this list after the way the team played last year. When Campbell starts living up to his potenial as a QB then ill talk about moving Campbell up on any list.

As for Sanchez I could understand why they would rank the Jets higher. The combo of Jones and Washington was great last year. Sanchez hasnt played in the NFL yet but most people would take a guy who hasnt shown anything in the NFL yet over a player like Campbell who has shown he cant lead a NFL offense as of today.

Id easily take Rosenfels/Peterson over Campbell/Portis. As for Hill/Gore id say thats pretty even right now. Hill is the better QB but Portis is the better RB.

I do think Campbell will step up his play this year but until the offense shows a pulse its hard for me to say Campbell/Portis should be higher than another combo.
