It looks like Collins is going to be getting the short end of the playing time stick versus Colt.

Here's another one of my personal feelings. I like Collins but apparently the team does not think he's a viable #1. DS has issues with JC and goes outside the team to locate another QB instead of letting Collins take over to see if he can handle the team. He then explores drafting a QB which would learning from scratch instead of making Collins step up. I think the team is seeing him a simply an older vet to fill in if someone goes down.

I know he (Collins) was not planned to play today according to the team but when thrown in either he had a bad day or he simply was not ready cause to me it sounded like he struggled today. Until the end of practice. Brennen sounded to have had a pretty good day as well as Daniel. Perhaps it's time to get younger there also. Just saying.

Ditto. I'm not one of those who think that JC will get a blank check this whole season. I predicted that Collins is in his last season here. IF Colt really burns it up in the pre-season he could easily move to #2 QB with a chance to play out the second half of the season if Campbell can't perform well. JC is on a short leash this fifth season, IMO.

No team in the entire NFL and I mean no team believes he is a viable #1.

I really like Todd Collins if Al Saunders is calling the plays.

If Chase really makes an impression and Colt gets out of his training camp funk I have no problem going with Colt and Chase as the backups.

I have plenty of respect for Todd Collins.

I don't think that you really want to put Collins in at number 1 at all unless you're going into playoff chances and Campbell gets hurt. While he hasn't had his body worn down from being a backup for so long, I think that at this point you're looking to see what your younger guys can bring to the table.. whether they can lead a team, whether to use them as trade bait, or whether to cut them.

When Collins ran his 40 yard dash at the start of camp, they timed him with an hourglass.

And they had to flip it twice.
