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

[skinsguy]

What's to discuss? Collins is the #2 guy. Why would he NOT be going in if Brunell gets hurt? Given the choice between Collins and Campbell, I would rather see Campbell play, but there is probably a good reason for him being #3 and not #2.

Well it is just a point the majority of this board wants to see Brunell on the bench, but I would think a majority of the board wants Campbell in, but when Brunell went out for a bit Campbell was warming up and he is #2, as you pointed out. Hence the thread, we want Brunell out, but we don't want Collins in, which seems to be what would occur. So then the question, do we want Brunell in, or Collins?

That's what makes me nervous skinsguy. Every time I hear people talk about him (e.g. Redskins coaches), they keep saying "He's got all the physical tools to be a great quarterback. He just needs to learn the mental aspects of the game." Is this guy just plain too dumb to be the #2 quarterback? Or is it just that Collins is Saunders' boy and knows the offense?

The latter seems more likely to me. Generally coaches stick with the guy you know rather than the guy you inherit. May not be fair... but thats the way it is usually.

who effin knows.

I would be inclined to think the latter would be more acurate. There's nothing that would lead me to believe that Campbell is dumb, any QB who can learn a different system every year he's played the game shouldn't have a cerebral problem. If that were the case then the Redskins would have to be the dumb ones for trading, and giving up what they did for him. I'm of the opinion JG and Al Saunders should have gotten together and made a decision on who the #2 QB was going to be before he decided to hire him to call the plays. JG told Jason one thing at the end of the season last year, then hires Saunders, he brings in Collins and they tell him something different. The Redskins played a hell of a price for a QB who after two seasons cannot be considered the #2 In my opinion there's more going on here than meets the eye.
