The sooner everyone around here realizes our QB situation right now is what it's going to be for 2009, the better.

You must have misread my post - i was comparing Collins and Brennan and I said last year Brennan looked more comfortable than Collins. I then said we would see how they looked in pre-season this year.

I didnt even hint about a QB competition for the #1 spot. I was referring to the fact that its likely Brennan could become the #2 this year. I didnt get to it, but by extension, i think that would mean we would say bye-bye to Collins...and as you pointed out, it would be rather awkward to pay 3M for a 3rd string QB so its highly likely that Collins will be let go if he loses the job. For this reason, i'm pretty sure we'll have another QB to push Collins for the job. Brennans Zorns hand-picked QB. Unless he regresses significantly, i can't see his job (as a backup) being in jeopardy this year.
