Collin's Good Backup nothing more

The reason I say that is because it comes right after we lose a game in the playoffs. Like many of the "Gibbs must go" threads that were always started after almost every loss, it seemed like the same type of thread. Call it bad timing or just a poor way of conveying your feelings about Collins, it certainly isn't a thread that would be very popular amongst your Redskins brethren. Even still, when you say things like "many have turned on Campbell" then you just sound like sour grapes. The truth is, if you're going to accuse members here of turning on Campbell, then you'd better be ready to back that up. That isn't a statement of opinion. I can't say "Railcon killed my puppy, but that's just my opinion." That's an accusation and one I must back up with proof.

The truth is, the ones singing Campbell's praise (that includes me because I'm Campbell's bandwagon driver,) are still singing his praise. The only difference is we're smart enough to realize since Campbell was/is injured and Collins had the hot hand, it was a no brainer in keeping Collins in. This is IMHO, but I believe a good back up is a guy who can come in when the starter is injured or ineffective and win games for you. This is what Collins did for us. There is only a very few here who feel Collins should and will be starting next season. The large majority of us feel no matter the conclusion of this season, the starting QB job belongs to Jason Campbell.

Most of us will say Collins is quality back up. I probably disagree with the reason why he is a back up (weak arm, too slow in the pocket, etc...) atlas, he is a quality backup and I hope he's back on the team next season.

Well said.
