^I think he's a decent QB. I think he could get the job done if he had a lot more time to get it done in. I still have issues with the fact that he seems to misread where the rush is coming from and doesn't move his protection to that side or change into something more favorable. I know media pundits have said there are some plays he can't change out of but a good system should always have an availability to change into something more favorible given what the defense is doing at the time.

I do think his speed of processing is slower then the great QB's out there. Why do I say that...for several reasons:

1) He seems to be missing reads down field and either throws the ball away or goes to his undernieth route.

2) His wind up has been mentioned before as being too slow.

3) I see JC having 3-7 sec. to get rid of the ball before pressure gets to him. I believe this is a normal time for most QB's. I'll take whatever OL is giving their QB 10-15 sec. to get rid of the ball. They even mentioned during one of the games on Thanksgiving how the team set up the plays so the QB could take a 3 step drop and throw the ball because of the other teams ability to rush the QB. 3 sec. and the ball was out.

4) I also think he might have some coordination issues. He seems to have trouble taking the ball, back peddling, and looking for a receiver who is WIDE open. He is tentative to throw the ball if it's in tight coverage and the hesitation usually results in a batted ball. This week he did better. He constantly looked to another receiver prior to going to the one he wanted and pump faked a few times which I have felt he needed to do all last season and this season. Not to mention sliding.

but again he's the best QB we have right now. Collins is getting old and can't scramble. I like Colt but as we have seen with Favre I think he would be the one who completes a lot of balls and has a lot intercepted.
