Zorn Shines The Light On QB Situation

[diehardskin2982]

I don't understand why are we trying to keep Collins, he is a system QB. I would rather get a cheap vet versed in the west coast offense let go of costly collins and Brunnel and then draft a 3rd qb.

We'll still probably pick up someone like Dilfer to be the #3.

Collins is a solid backup as he proved last year and he would be a good fit in this offense. Seems kinda stupid to not try to bring him back if you ask me.

We don't know that for sure. Just because he hasn't played in recent years in a different system, doesn't mean he can't do it.

I feel TC could be very effective in a WC Offense. His ability to make quick reads and get the ball out of his hands quickly could make his value to us alot more than people expect and give him credit for. TC is very coachable and very adaptable; his not so strong arm would be better suited for a WC type offense I feel. Appeared this past season that he excelled in the short to mid range passes another good thing for a WC type of offense. I feel Coach Zorn has seen these qualities as well and is a contributing factor in his push to keep TC.

Zorn on Todd Collins - Redskins Insider

Coach Zorn clarifies the situation, making it clear that while Todd would come in as the number two, there is competition for the starting role, and if Jason was not able to perform well, eventually Todd would vault to the starting position.

Getting put into a new offense doesn't just mean you lose all the years of experience diagnosing defenses. Nor does it mean you loose your cemistry with the players on your team. Campbell and Collins both have that going for them. Besides that, it is my understanding that Campbell thrived in the West Coast system at Auburn. Is that true?
