Todd Collins: Best Backup QB in the NFL?
Ranking each team's No. 2 quarterback - Don Banks - SI.com
Seriously, has this clown seen any of our games this preseason?

Re: Todd Collins: Best Backup QB in the NFL?
We could definitely be worse off than ol' TC, but best in the NFL? I'm thinking there's at least 5-10 better out there.
Now, I'd say TC is definitely the best in an Al Saunders' system, but that's not the case anymore...

Re: Todd Collins: Best Backup QB in the NFL?
Yeah if Saunders were still here, I'd agree. But he's not.
I'd still put TC in the top 10 though, if not top 5.

Re: Todd Collins: Best Backup QB in the NFL?
Despite his "struggles" his numbers are pretty good this preseason especially considering he works mainly with the backups. I'm pretty confident that if called upon #15 would be solid.

Re: Todd Collins: Best Backup QB in the NFL?
I'd have to rank Trent Green, concussions and all, higher. He's back w/ Al Saunders and he knows the system.
TC is top10 no doubt, maybe top 5, but i have a hard time believing he's the best backup out there. TC has had an OK preseason but i'm not sure he fits into an offense like this. TC is like a statue back there. If he would only sense the pocket collapsing and step up or move around a little. The accuracy is there, the mobility not so much. |

Re: Todd Collins: Best Backup QB in the NFL?
Well hey give the guy some credit he did know we are now running a WC offense. Maybe he has seen the way JC is holding the ball and taking hits so he thinks Todd has the #1 chance of seeing playing time.

Re: Todd Collins: Best Backup QB in the NFL?
It's funny, whenever one of our player gets some nice props people want to knock them down. But whenever we feel they got "dissed" we're up in arms over it. You just can't win.

TC is not the best backup QB in the NFL; it's a straight-up disagreement with Don Banks. That's all it is.

I was just responding to your post saying "you just can't win." It's not about winning with me as a writer, at least in my case. I'm not looking for an opinion to prop up the 'Skins. I'm just looking for good opinions, and I don't agree with Banks here. But it's splitting hairs really, because I do like TC a lot and do think we have one of the better backups in the league. I just can't get too carried away with five starts where the line finally jelled and the WRs finally got healthy. In the minds of the national media (at least in the mind of Banks), Collins went from an unknown assumed to be a bum in 2006 to the best backup in the league after 2007. Both assessments are on the extreme end of reality, IMO.

Well one thing we can agree on Matty is the receivers arent up in arms... Of course that is because we are still in need of a tall receiver like Joe Horn (see other thread)...if our short receivers are up in arms we just cant see them
