I think if they both knew that there was going to be a fair competition for the starting role it would give Collins the incentive to stay and it would give JC the incentive to learn more of Saunders offensive scheme.

And yet heres the kicker the Key players started to make plays and the O-Line seemed to show up, these are luxuries that Campbell did not have. When the O-Line played like trash so did Collins. A great deal of Collins success can be owed to Clinton Portis showing up to run the ball. When Collins got what Campbell was getting all season during the seahawks game I think it was evident that Jason Campbell poses more of a threat to other teams with his harder passes better deep balls and ability to scramble. One last thing that should be noted I dont want to ever see a two-minute drill quarterbacked by Collins again that was just terrible. So I say let them ave a competition, but Jason is young and tender and this is no way to show that the organization has faith in him as a starting QB.
