From ESPN Insider

• One scout told PFW the Redskins appeared to have hit it big with first-round pick QB Jason Campbell, if the rare poise and performance he showed in his first minicamp is any indication. He said Campbell looked like "the next Doug Williams" and that "Joe Gibbs knew what he was getting (in Campbell)."

No problem... you can find it in one or two places I think. :oops:

Here's one of the threads... I believe the original one...

Personally I don't see "The Next Doug Williams" as a big compliment...

Doug Williams was pretty good, but he was a journeyman QB who found a niche with the Redskins. I'd rather Campbell be the next Brad Johnson (in terms of skill, and playing style, not leadership). Campbell's style and size seem a lot like Johnson's, I think we have a star in the making here!
EDIT- Wow, I sure was paying attention...

hopefully this thread is locked or deleted soon :oops:

I guess it's too much to ask for you to DELETE YOUR OWN POST. :roll:

Fine, I'll lock it.
