We still have a very good QB situation. Few teams can say they have 3 QBs on their roster that at least one team in the league values enough to start. While Collins and Brunell are both well past their respective primes, theres no reason to think either couldnt come in and complete 60-65% of passes and move the ball as well as Campbell could at this point in his young career. We've seen it before.

The crazy thing about the backup is that for 85% of the league, who the backup is can be the most trivial of all football facts. For the remaining 15%, it decides who continues to play up to the potential of the roster (2006 Philly), and who falls off the face of the earth (2006 Tampa).

I feel pretty good knowing that no matter who starts at QB for the Skins, the offense still gives us a pretty solid shot to win every week. Make no mistake about it, with our offense solidly entrenched in the 10-15 range in the NFL, the defense and special teams (especially FG%) will determine how many teams we beat this year.

Of course, that was the case last year too...and well you get the point.
