Who gets yours and why?

Springs. That long int that led to a touchdown at the end of the first half was a huge momentum swing...

BrunellMVP? · 12-07-2007, 10:38 AM

true... on springs, but honestly, who knew collins could come in a perform that well under any circumstances? i applaud the coaches for having faith.

Collins. We needed a passing O really bad.

SC Skins Fan · 12-07-2007, 10:40 AM

Todd Collins for coming in and running the offense efficiently. The throw to Betts was totally sweet and the sort of foot-on-the-throat moment that we haven't had all season.

I'd also write in Danny Smith and the boys for sacrificing field position in order to contain Hester. Most days you wouldn't applaud kicking it out of bounds at the end of the game, but in this case it was inspired. Well done.

Collins is my easy choice. He was lights out, we couldn't have asked him to play any better than that.

Springs' INT at the end of the first half was pretty huge too. That really helped swing the game in our direction.

dmek25 · 12-07-2007, 10:42 AM

easy choice. Collins. came in and performed especially well, against a decent defense. made the right throws. and threw it away when needed

SouperMeister · 12-07-2007, 10:44 AM

Collins, because he moved the offense when there was zero running game to speak of.

krisnmb · 12-07-2007, 10:48 AM

Collins gets my vote. He came into a difficult situation and gave this team the boost they needed to get the win. Campbell is still my guy...but Collins showed last night that he knows this offensive system and has the ability to be the field general we need. He may get rocked next week against the Giants (who will be prepared for him) though.

BrudLee · 12-07-2007, 10:49 AM

Collins for his unexpected night's work. Second place goes to Saunders, for calling first downs passes in the fourth quarter with a lead. The last thing anyone expected given our recent history.

Springs, he ended a Bears drive before halftime, turned the game around and gave Collins a short field to get his first TD. Then he had ANOTHER pick.

Collins had a lot of time to throw, he was good, not not spectacular, he just got the job done. I'd give the gameball to the o-line if they had been able to protect Campbell that well.

Collins. Coming off the bench cold is so hard to do. He knew where to go with the ball. He makes decisions faster than JC. But his arm is as weak as I've even seen in the NFL.

Not sure if he's as bad as Wuerffel or Pennington but he might be in the discussion.

Plus we're used to seeing Campbell who has a live arm.

Collins. First game in a long time that we didn't choke in the end.

TheMalcolmConnection · 12-07-2007, 11:32 AM

Collins without a doubt. Sure, they're ALL NFL QBs and you'd think they could step in and lead a team, but MAN he led it with authority. OK, I have to bring it up, Campbell versus Collins?

I keed, I keed.
