Todd Collins: Best Backup QB in the NFL?

[htownskinfan]

I dont know where to rank Collins now that we have a new offense,before last yr would anybody have ranked him in the top 10? He might not have made the top 20 cut. Being in Houston I've got to see a lot of Sage and he would be my top backup,He's outplayed Schaub every opportunity hes gotten

dont talk trash about shaub..he rocks..will have a big season

that would be great,I'd love him too,but he cant stay healthy and its the classic case of being handed the job because you make more money when you havent proved anything or beat the backup out of the job

Schaub has had a very good preseason. I could see him having a big year.

didnt Danny Wuerfel have a pretty good preseason? lol
seriously,Schaub has looked good,but so has Sage.Yes Schaub could have a big yr if him and his receivers can stay healthy,but getting back to the point of the thread I think Sage is the best backup,Schaub has been handed the job because of the investment the Texans have in him,lucky for them sage is taking it and not complaining about it

I think Schaub has proven himself a bit more during the regular season than DW.

I'm not seriously comparing them,I think Schaub is a much better qb than Danny,I'm just saying preseason doesnt count for shit,as for Schaub proving himself more in the reg season,I think he still has a lot to prove,he has a career record of 4-9,thats not really proving yourself,DW's record is 4-6

I thought he was a prize find...why atlanta never gave him a shot is beyond me. But seriously injuries....who CAN stay healthy in this league, esp qbs? Sure manning, brady..but they never get hit!

I was watching the Giants game the other night... David Carr is finished. The dude is just waiting to get sacked on every snap. They better hope nothing happens to Eli...

That don't sound right.

ehh my one complaint with todd collins is his apparent lack of a comfort level with the new system..yo cant tell me that an average Qb (and im sorry if he was an above average qb he would have been a starter a long time ago) that has been in the same system since fire was discovered can jus tpick up a new offense like that and have the type of success that he had last year.
Was he worth the contract extension we gave him..prob not. but could we do worse? most def.

colt brennan.....damn i wanted to get his jersey at the store yesterday...sold out...at the redskins store..wtf...

[doughtydoubter]

yeah id take collins over quinn...because jc is the starter, we dont need a ton of "bright young stars" in the making...id take matt shaub over all of them tho
