Campbell's numbers dont lie

We had no O-line problems when Collins was QB'ing. Collins not getting a chance to start is the biggest injustice since sending Warren Moon to the Edmonton Eskimo's. During his 4 regular season starts in Washington he has a QB rating of 106.4.

So he's my bold prediction. If we get a new coach this season, Campbell will be benched, Collins would start and the Skins will start winning again.

Well if I remember right Collins' start also coincided with changes made on the OL. We benched Todd Wade, slid Fabini inside and made Heyer the starting RT.

While I'm sure those adjustments helped, the x-factor was the 106.4 passer rating. His play completely re-energized our team.

His play, o line changes, improved running game, Smoot and Springs playing lighs out, the emotions running through the team, Collins' knowledge of the offense, etc.

aka super smart aka fighting their guts out

The last 4 games of 2007 Springs had something like 15 tackles, 10 passes defended and 4 interceptions

Smoot didn't have quite the stats but he made some huge tackles as I recall

Collins looked good against Seattle in the playoffs, right? The guy is a career backup for a reason, game manager only, zero upside. What would be the point of putting him in now? Maybe by effective game management he could account for 1 win, maybe 2. That leaves us at 6-10 or 7-9, right where we want to be to rebuild ???? He is extremely slow with a weak arm.

Putting Collins in completely stops the evaluation of JC and if JC isn't the guy doesn't allow us to look at Woodson.
