Jason Campbell - What's His Status?

I think Collins is the big reason the O is looking so good. He gets the ball out fast and keeps things moving which IMO has opend things up for the running game. At this point JC just isnt as fast paced as TC.

Right now TC gives the Skins a chance to make a playoff run. JC wouldnt have done that.

Maybe it's because Collins knows he can't run or escape pass rushers, so he throws the ball as soon as possible to avoid being creamed.

No, his knowledge of the system is very evident and he makes good decisions to make up for his lack of physical skills.

He's like a pitcher who can't throw over 85 MPH but knows how to paint the corners of the plate and keep hitters guessing.

So one might say he's the Greg Maddux of football?

Well, Maddux wasn't stuck on the bench in the bullpen for 10 years.

I think Portis said it best on Redskins.com after the game. He said that Collins is willing to take a chance and make that difficult throw. Campbell doesn't want to make a mistake.

When you play not to make a mistake, or not to lose...That's exactly what happens. I think Campbell will be just fine, but right now he's a young QB that makes young QB mistakes.
