A Playoff question: Campbell or Collins?

At this moment in time, the ball belongs in Collins' hands. He has helped resurrect this team from the "dead", and if he continues to to be the hot hand, you have to play him.

Even if Jason Campbell starts his way back today, he still wouldn't be ready for this Sunday or next, and would most likely not be ready for a Division Weekend game. He'll have the entire offseason once again to continue his learning of the offense, and once training camp starts in '08, he'll have the reigns and hopefully Saunders will open up the playbook some more.

It's all about the best chance to win right now. And right now, Todd Collins gives this team the best chance to win.

Look at how the 1972 Dolphins (17-0) handled it.

No one expected what the young team accomplished in 1972. A promising campaign seemingly was lost when starting quarterback Bob Griese went down with a broken leg during just the fifth game of the season. However, the Dolphins rallied behind journeyman Earl Morrall and posted an unprecedented 17-0 record, culminated by a 14-7 victory, Griese's first full game back, over the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII.
