Redskins will trade Jason Campbell for a "low pick" during the draft?

Wasn't Fox reluctant to put Moore in because of low work ethic? I don't know, I just don't see how having a solid back up option is a bad idea.

I didn't think it was work ethic, I thought it was more about Matt's demeanor - he didn't show the competitive fire Jake did.

FWIW, I don't remember Joe Cool thumping his chest very much... I just remember him going out there and slitting the defenses throat like it was another day at the office.

At this point, I would rate Campbell higher than Bulger or McCown and there's a good chance that he's a much better QB than anyone we could draft in the 6th or 7th round.

On overall athletic ability, he might be better than Bulger, but Bulger's got a much better resume' and fits in more with what we really need (a solid backup). Campbell wants a starting opporunity. We don't have that to offer. As to McCown, he doesn't have the resume' of Bulger, but his athleticism is equal to Campbell, he knows the system and doesn't cost us picks.

Bottom line for me: I'd rather not go the "reclamation project" route again. I'd much rather have a guy who's had some past success and is happy to work as a backup now. Or to put it another way, I'd rather have a new Rodney Peete than a new David Carr.

I am all for the Panthers trading a late round pick for Campbell. First, I do not place him in the same category as David Carr, who was more damaged goods in my opinion. Second, I do not want to end up having another lost season because this team only has one starting caliber QB on the roster. Third, I think Campbell has more upside and is better then any of the older veterans that out there.
