Zorn wants Collins back

[Meks]

collins would be fine, hes a smart dude and a good decision maker when it comes to throwing the ball... i'd keep'em

Dilfer would be nothing more than a #3/emergency type of QB for us. He would be a solid addition for his knowledge of the offense.

Exactly, that's what I was thinking in terms of him being, a 3rd QB at best.

Then why not just give Dilfer a coaching role?

I'm a little confused in general why we would need another 'mentor' for Campbell if Dilfer was to fulfill that role. Isn't that why we brought a guy named ZORN to Washington?

Not really.. A coach can only do so much, especially a head coach.. A veteran QB, mentor if you will, can spend time after practice or film time during camp or just an extra ear on the sidelines to talk thru things.. A head coach has so many other responsibilities he's got to handle and there are only so many hours he can dedicate to one player.

Who says he wants to coach?

[Stuck in TX]

I absolutely love Brunell, and have since he was at Jacksonville but one must wonder- how can we benefit from him now? IMO it would be better to let him go out and be a backup somewhere he is needed and bring in Dilfer as a #3. Collins has alot of knowledge as far as mechanics go and Dilfer knows the WCO. Given those two attributes plus a former QB coach running the team I see nothing but greatness for JC this year!!!

i do not want dilfer, not a single bit... he's trash weather he knows the offense or not man

No no no....we need Collins gone. The last thing we need is Campbell constantly looking over his shoulder.

If Cambell's psyche is that fragile he may want to think about another career. In this league you need 2 good QB's at least.

This is the NFL you are always looking over your shoulder at all positions, if you can't handle that your not going to make it in this league to begin with.

Why in the world would you want to see one hell of a solid backup, that even turned into a really good starter for us last season,not here?

This is the business of football at the highest level you HAVE to have proven depth at your QB position I would argue this is the most important backup role more than any other position on the team. I think we found that out in the last four games of last season. Its not a luxury it's a necessity.

I agree. If Campbell's psyche is that fragile we're already in trouble. Something tells me though he can handle Todd Collins being his backup.

The offer to Collins is quite clear, he's welcome to return as Campbell's backup. There should be no threat to Campbell's job at all.

That shouldn't bother him. He's the starter and needs to perform no matter who is # 2. Zorn was a QB and I guess he really liked what Collins pulled off last year, he's staying. Zorn gets what he wants.....
