Overrated: Jason Campbell, Auburn

ok...less than 48 hours until the DRAFT.
So I am going to make another post about Campbell.
Yeah...this kids name did not even pop up on this board until 2 days ago.
First...I DON'T think the Skins would be foolish enough to get him. Gibbs already made a QB mistake with Brunell last year and that cost us a 3rd round pick and a big chunk of salary cap.
Do you honestly think Gibbs would pick this kid in return for what will cost a 2 first round picks (2005/2006), a 3rd (2005), and a 4th (2006)???? Nope...he could get Alex Smith for that price.
Ramsey was, and IS our guy.
Here is a writers take on Campbell:

14 ON THE WONDERLIC....the kid couldn't handle Joe Gibbs offense. All the shifting...etc.
Ramsey is a SMART kid. Campebell is a tool box.
Now, lets put this rumor to bed.

There's no denying Campbell was as good as any quarterback in the country his senior season and arguably the most important contributor to the Tigers' 13-0 season. At nearly 6-foot-5 and with a strong release, he's physically impressive. But one strong year shouldn't completely override the three previous, weak ones. For most of his career, Campbell struggled with the mental aspect of the game, making poor decisions and struggling to pick up offensive schemes. He finally thrived in the West Coast offense employed by his fourth coordinator in as many years, Al Borges, but several of Borges' predecessors found themselves simplifying their playbooks as much as possible to appease Campbell. As SI.com's Peter King reported last week, Campbell scored a less-than-impressive 14 on his first attempt at the Wonderlic test last year. NFL coaches won't have the time or patience to wait another four years for him to grasp a pro offense.
