Brunell haters...what if they put in Collins?

[LMsexyAO]

My theory is that JC plays a lot like Vince Young was playing today. Pretty strong and accurate but doesn't always make the best decisions (typical of a rookie). The reason Collins is the emergency #2 is probably because they plan on turning the ball over to portis anyway. Then they use the rest of the week to mold JC into the starter/thrower. They know Collins can't play, they also know hes too smart to run up the middle or to force a pass under double coverage.

No Collins. Dude can't start in this league. What could be better proof than his struggles in preseason against 2nd and 3rd string defenses. He's a relief QB in the event of injury, at best.

C'mon the guy had his toenail ripped off and we're acting like he's a crybaby?

I had two of my ingrown toenails cut out once and I'm telling ya, if I had to go play in a football game just minutes later I would have been crying like a 5 year old. The pain of the procedure is bad enough, but if someone stepped on that bad boy oh man, talk about white hot pain.

He didn't even miss a snap so this is a non-issue anyway.

Did you guys miss JGs discussion of this at the beginning of the year? Collins is #2 because he knows the offense well and can jump in cold is MB goes down. They want a week to insert a simplified scheme if MB is down for more time, so that Campbell has the best chance to thrive in this complex offense. Remember, the second and third QBs get basically NO time with the first team offense during the week. Putting in a rookie (basically) who is less familar with the offense makes little sense, IMO, if you've got a guy who knows it sitting there. But if it's a longer-term deal, then they can set the stage properly for JC.

PS IMHO, people are going to be very surprised if and when Collins gets in. He's got a stronger arm than MB at this point, and he knows the offense better. He had some shaky moments in preseason, but doesn't he hold a bunch of passing records at U MICH? I don't think Saunders keeps him around just as a friend. I bet he can throw the 3 yard MB dumpoff just fine, and probably some passes MB can't make. (This may be wishful thinking, but what the hey...)

what's missing at QB is some athleticism and some instinct. defenses in today's NFL are so aggressive and fast, you need confidence in your legs or arm to actually BEAT someone. Brunell and Collins are the furthest thing from that.
