Why is it that Collins is never mentioned? I mean it's not like they're paying the man peanuts.

Because he's a 38 year old career backup who was effective (and not exactly prolific-but effective) in a system that he was brought in to run and we don't run anymore. The only reason he's still on the team is because he had that playoff run. Any other offseason he'd be out looking for work and not finding much success in securing it.

I'm not dead but this team is dead to me...but now that McCloughan is here they may have new life!

Jay Gruden = Zorny McSpurrier
Kirk Cousins = Next Grossman

Soups not playing in a system he was brought in either. Kurt Warner has put the age thing to rest. He sure does make a lot of money for someone that should be looking for a job.

How many play-offs has Soup, Colt, or Sanchez taken us to? Our offensive line isn't anything like Arizona's either.

Well, technically, we won 9 games in 2007 to make the playoffs, and Campbell started 6 of those. While win percentage tells another tale, I say: Small Sample Size.

Old guys can compete at the QB position, but usually only if they were pretty great in their younger days. There's not much demand or value for guys who have breakout months at age-36.

Who won the games against New York, The Vikings, and the Cowboys? That got us to the play-offs. I'm just saying no one ever talks about a guy who has beaten the Giants with everything on the line. We didn't beat them last year and they're the cream of the NFC East right now.
I know he's not the future of the franchise but damn, why such an outpouring for guys who've never won a game for us, Colt or Sanchez?
