see, I interpret that differently :

The hardest part is sitting back watching all this. We're having a lot of fun right now as a team, we're winning, and you feel like you're an outsider looking in, watching.

If he's having trouble watching now, can you imagine what he'll feel if he's healthy and is forced to watch....


Im probably jumping the gun, realistically, though... I don't think he's going to be healthy enough to return unless we go to the super bowl.

because JC knows how pouting worked for Jay Schroeder.

This is tough for me. I love JC, and he is our future, but I guess he really isn't our now. Our now has Collins at 3-0 (2-0 as an official starter). You have to play the hot hand. I don't think anyone doubts JC's ablility, but if it ain't broke don't fix it.

If we beat Dallas on Sunday and Jason is "ready" for to play, I just don't think we can take the chance. If ain't broke don't fix it, right? Stupid cliche but true in this case. JC is coming of a leg injury, so who knows how his conditioning will be? His timing will be off after the offense has gotten used to Todd for what will be over a month should the time come... I say you stick with what's working. No discredit to JC's work this year, but Todd is the guy right now. It's pretty obvious if you ask me. Turnovers are WAY down since he took the reins.

No apology necessary but I think that JC's had enough time to have an effective gameplan called. There has been a huge disparity between the games called with TC instead of JC under center. I am sure it's warranted to some extent but I really question whether or not it could have been a lot closer. Eh, I'm ambivalent I guess. As long as the team wearing burgundy and gold wins, I really don't care either way. But I do wonder if it will shake his confidence if JC is healthy and sits

It's not like the offense was totally inept under JC.

I think the big difference between the two QBs right now is Collins' knowledge of the offense gives him a ton of confidence and there's no hesitation when he decides to throw the ball. And Collins isn't making that critical mistake that a young QB like Campbell tends to make.

JC is a team guy and a class act, I can't see him putting up a stink over this or it ruining his confidence in any way.

I know in public he'd be fine with it, but it would have to destroy his confidence to be healthy and have the team not trust him in the big games. He's a competitor.

Destroy his confidence?

Doubt that.

It's not like he was benched due to performance. He got hurt, his backup comes in and plays great and helps guide the team to the playoffs. I'm sure he would be frustrated over not playing but at the same time I'm sure he would understand the rationale. Saying his confidence would be destroyed is stretching things a bit in my opinion.

You forgot this part:

"The only thing I've got to do is just take it day-to-day and just see what happens, see how we can improve it and right now we're winning so that's the key."

Well if it would destroy his confidence then he needs to find a new job. I don't see how this would even be an issue as the coaches had the confidence in him all year and even after he made some bad dicisions they stuck by him. This is about going with the hot hand and JC is coming off a 4 game loosing streek. If this was mid season then JC would be put back in as starter but its not. The thinking from this point of the season is which QB gives us the best chance to win some games and that is TC. Now I do not have a problem if TC is having a bad game that they put JC back in to try and provide a spark. If we start JC then it will be much tougher to pull him from a game if he is struggling.

i can't see campbell playing anymore this season at all.when i was 14 or 15,i broke the same bone in my knee cap he did and it took me almost a full year to recover.back in those days,i played basketball everyday and ran a mile every other day too.i know that medical technology has advanced since way the hell back then,but you still have to heal!!!!

[TenandSix:Unacceptable]

It looks like it will probably be a moot point. Doesn't sound like he is going to be 100% healthy in time to make it back. At the same time, we want this question to stick around as long as possible. It means we're still alive.

[onlydarksets]

Collins, but only from the injury perspective. If JC could come back 100%, then he should get the start. I don't think that's possible, so Collins continues the ride.
