A Playoff question: Campbell or Collins?

[troy]

when i first stated the jc needed to be sat down. that he wasn't ready to lead this team, and collins should be starting who's been in al saunders offence for the past 6 or 7 years should be starting i was called everything from drunk to crazy!!! a few of you even stated that you weren't going to watch the games after jc got hurt. i want to give smootsmack a thank you for sincerly asking my opinion and not just try to shut me out by telling me to "layoff the sauce"

look at the numbers over three games, TC has 4TDs no INT 60pct of his completions and about 235 yards per game. If you remove the stats from NYG game where the wind screwed up the passing game, he's averaging 75pct of completions. Todd is a beast, I'm not one of those JC haters, not at all, but as long as I' almost sure he won't be 100pct in a couple of weeks, stick to TC if we make the playoffs.

Collins is a great story... just his being away from the game all that time and making an impact like he is is amazing. He appears to be more in pace with Moss and WR core overall.
Thank you Santa for this new Redskin attitude...fun to watch !!!!

that's hard, but i'd probably just keep collins in right now.

campbell has been fumbling a bit, and saunders has been using a crappier (no downfield) gameplan with him, even though deep is what he does best :/.

Collins is undefeated...you do not mess with what works. Collins is my pick.

ooo i will go with Collins to start

No question in my mind, it's TC. Next year is a whole new ball game. The worry is not about whether JC can mentally handle sitting, he's sitting now while out injurred. You've gotta love the fact that we have a postitive poll to discuss this late in the year, and here's hoping we go all the way in the PO's!

Collins is hot, has control of the offense and has Saunders full confidence to use the entire playbook.

Campbell is the future, but the rest of the playoffs is all TC.

Playoff Defenses are a totally different story.... I think Collin's lack of mobility will be a major liability..... Collins has also benefitted from having healthy recievers.....Collins has played well but not so spectacular that he is the Messiah .. Also The Offensive line has started to play alot better... So If Collins can play so well now..I beleive Campbell with his mobility and strong arm would be alot better than Collins... But I will be cheer for whoever plays..

The line is playing better because they dont have to hold their protection too long since Collins gets the ball out fast instead of standing there trying to figure out who's open. Also now that the Skins can pass the run has opened up and Portis looks more like the Portis of old.

Yep I agree.

It's easy to protect for a guy that takes 3 step drops and gets the ball out on time.

Portis himself has started running harder.....During the Minnesota Game I saw him making cuts like he hasn't since he was in Denver.... And those were in the open field.... Alot of things are coming together right now.... ARE ..Moss...Portis...they were all dinged up... Also the Offensive Line is Jelling and getting used to playing together... I will give Collins credit ..he has played well... But He hasnt been Unbelievable or Tom Brady like... The team as a WHOLE has started coming together....Plus I just don't believe a Stater should lose his job to injury...Collins competed for the starting job and lost....

Isn't that how Tom Brady won his starting job? Steve Young? Brett Favre?

One of the biggest myths in sports is that a starter cant lose his job due to injury.

At this point in time Collins is the better QB.
