Re: A Playoff question: Campbell or Collins?

Whoa. I'm shocked.

It's got to be Campbell, assuming he's close to full health. He played well this year prior to his injury. Three games of Todd Collins is not nearly enough to conclusively decide that he is a better QB than Jason Campbell at this point in his career.

Collins should keep playing until Campbell is healthy, but once Jason can handle the workload, you've got to play him.

Not sure what there is to be shocked about.

TC is currently sporting a QB rating of 107.0, he's helped us win 3 games, and he's hit on at least 75% of his passes in 2 of those 3 wins.

What's so shocking about sticking with the hot hand??

Because hot hands won't stay hot forever.

We are going to be fine with Collins in the short term, but Campbell is (theoretically) the best QB on this team. If the best QB on the team is healthy, he's got to be in there.

True, but you ride it until it cools off.

Best player on the field, always! As for McNabb, he is way past his prime! Why bring in a guy who doesn't know the offense when you have one that does and has played extremely well?

No doubt it has to be Collins, he's the hot hand right now.

Re: A Playoff question: Campbell or Collins?

If Collins keeps playing at his current pace I'm sure even Campbell could understand the decision to keep rolling with the hot hand. If he can't handle that sort of decision he's not cut out for playing QB in this league.

Re: A Playoff question: Campbell or Collins?

Opening Day next year, not a doubt in my mind our starter is and should be Jason Campbell....

But if we win another game with Collins, there is no way you can mess with that right now. If we somehow lose and still get in, than I want Jason to play, but you can't take out a qb whos won four straight (if we win Sun) over a QB that had previously lost 4 straight....Campbell will be and probaboly is the better quarterback, but I'm a huge chemistry guy, and this offense has it right now.

Great point right there

Re: A Playoff question: Campbell or Collins?

I say if JC is 100% you go with him. That said there is 0% chance he is ready by the first round of the playoofss if he isn't even running right now. It just isn't going to happen. Collins gets the nod until JC is able to take full control in my mind. Let's hope it is a problem we have to deal with.
