I think we just knocked out the this would hurt Jason Campbell's development argument
Thanks to Mark Newgent and the brand new DC Redskins Examiner blog, I remembered that Jason Campbell grew up watching Brett Favre, if Brett has played for 17 seasons and Jason is 26 years old then Brett would have played his first game for the Packers when Jason was 10. And then continued playing up until the very day Jason and Brett met in a professional game last season, oh for want of a couple Sean Taylor picks.
So strong is Jason's admiration for Brett, Jason grew up in Taylorsville Mississippi, less than 100 miles from Brett's home town of Kiln Mississippi, that last year a no doubt bashful Jason Campbell, wondering what the hell he was doing, showed up unannounced like a stalker at Brett's compound in Hattiesburg and rang the bell and when no one answered, left.
Brett and Jason have met and have talked and that bond is no doubt stronger since Jason joined the elite ranks of NFL starting quarterbacks and then nearly led the Redskins to a road win over the Packers last season.
I bet if you ask Jason Campbell if bringing Brett Favre onto the Redskins would hurt his development as a quarterback Jason would say hail no son. Wouldn't you like to learn a thing or two on the job from your idol before he retires?
