How will you feel if its Collins instead of Campbell?

The question is simple: Is Campbell ready to implement Saunders offense? If yes, then play him. If not, keep him in classroom and on the sideline to continue learning.

The funny thing is Collins really should have been the starter at the beginning since Campbell was not ready. Does anyone think that Brunell knew the offense better than Collins? Campbell could have been watching a veteran of the offensive system execute with more efficiency than a veteran who is also learning the system. Even if Collins is a terrible QB, which I doubt since he's been in the league for so long, he at least would be more familiar with his reads thus showing Campbell how the system is designed to work.

I agree...the age of QB doesn't matter...it comes down to if he can perform, and the coaches see more than what we do obviously. The thing about Collins is, in my opinion, during pre-season, he seemed just as lost in the system as Brunell. In fact (and will probably open the argument for Campbell even more) Campbell looked the most poised between the three...albeit playing against mostly 3rd stringers.

Was he lost with the system or the speed of the game?

It's hard to tell. It could've been the speed of the game, but he just seemed to struggle as much as everyone else. I do seem to remember one good showing out of Collins, but I was mostly impressed by Campbell.
