Collin's Good Backup nothing more

[NinjaLink]

Todd Collins helped the Redskins win 4 games in get us into the playoffs. If you look at it as a regular season, we are 4-1 with Todd Collins. It really isn't all that bad. I do want to have Jason Campbell back next season as starter because he is the future of the Skins. With his speed and agility, I think he will turn out to be a good QB.

Collins knows the offense well and caught lightning in a bottle as far as the team's motivation with Taylor's passing. I think he did a fantastic job, and he has good chemistry with the team. I think Jason will be the unquestioned starter going into next season, but it's good to know we have a 1A-1B QB situation.

I don't think we have to worry about Todd signing with another team. He only played 4 good games and he'll be 37 next season. I also don't think he'll start another game for us unless Campbell gets hurt again.

I am just not convinced JC is the answer at QB in this system. He takes way too long to make decisions and his delivery is not quick. He might work out but right now I'm not sure. Collins is 37 but he has no miles on him. I can easily see Collins having 3 or 4 more good years because he has not been banged up.

Posts like this were the norm... Now because I am saying the same about Collins... I am just drunk... or knee jerked?? No way.... before the game I knew his mobility would be a liability ...and it was ...and always will be.... plus the int to Moss ...he had no business attempting to throw a pass that long with his arm strength...

Posts like that were the norm? Prove it

Furthermore, irish is presenting his opinion backed up by his own observations. Whether you agree with them or not (I don't) he is not vilifying JC

You didn't just state your opinion. You decided to drag everyone down along the way making assumptions about everyone's opinion of Campbell.

Plus you have no concept of how to use apostrophes

That wasn't TC's fault at all! Moss admitted he didn't even know where the ball was, which is why he stopped on the route. You could see when he stopped he turned around and looked up trying to find where the ball was. Granted Moss was covered by Trufant, but if Moss hadn't lost track of the ball, he would have had a 50/50 chance of catching it.

Oh please, that's pure BS. With that logic, he should've never thrown those passes to Moss (that were completed) in those last four games we won. This is a perfect example of someone who doesn't understand football. First of all, Collins shouldn't have thrown that pass, because the defender didn't bite on Moss's double move...NOT because Collins didn't have the arm to get it to Moss. Instead, Collins threw the pass (to the spot where Moss would've been open at if the defender had bit on the move,) and Moss did nothing to prevent the defender from catching the ball.

Unless all you read is posts from irish that view was far from the norm around here.

I'd say the norm was most understood that Collins was the QB for right now and he was doing a great job, but JC is still the future and he would return to the starting role in 2008.
