Portis himself has started running harder.....During the Minnesota Game I saw him making cuts like he hasn't since he was in Denver.... And those were in the open field.... Alot of things are coming together right now.... ARE ..Moss...Portis...they were all dinged up... Also the Offensive Line is Jelling and getting used to playing together... I will give Collins credit ..he has played well... But He hasnt been Unbelievable or Tom Brady like... The team as a WHOLE has started coming together....Plus I just don't believe a Stater should lose his job to injury...Collins competed for the starting job and lost....

Isn't that how Tom Brady won his starting job? Steve Young? Brett Favre?

Collins is the obvious choice. The playoffs are all about the now, and the regular season has the added variable of having to consider development and the future. The playoffs are about NOW. And right now, Todd doesnt throw interceptions. (knock knock)

I think Portis may be getting a bit more breathing room because of Todd Collins mastery of the Al Saunders offense. Which as i remember it from KC, was very good at loosening up the linebackers with a wild variety of screens and slants.

One of the biggest myths in sports is that a starter cant lose his job due to injury.

At this point in time Collins is the better QB.

I agree, I always thought that was a dumb way of thinking.

If a backup comes in and outperforms the starter, of course the starter can loose his job.

Some of the greatest careers in sports came about because a starter got hurt.

What if Mo Lewis never nailed the living crap out of Drew Bledsoe??
