Where is all of the Collins haters?

saden1 · 12-24-2007, 01:01 AM

I suppose I'm a Collins hater seeing he sucked hard in pre-season games. He stepped up big the last few games and while I'm still not a big believer yet I'm going to give him duly deserved props. As for JC getting back into the starting lineup, why fix something that isn't broke? Collins is my starter all the way even if JC is healthy!

Maybe he thinks there's only one hater and the last "s" was a typo?

I guess the word "all" is a typo too?

LOL

Despite the inauspicious start to the thread, it's a decent discussion that's springing up here. I think you stick with TC in the playoffs, whether Campbell is ready or not.

But let's cross that bridge when we come to it.

Collins has shown that he can run this offense 3 weeks straight. Also, he's not turning the ball over which killed us during our 4 game losing streak. I love Campbell and expect him to be under center Week 1 in 2008, but not for the rest of this season.

I didn't know there were any Collins haters. He has proven to be an extremely valuable backup which is a huge asset given the high number of QB injuries every year. That said, the minute Campbell is ready to play, he has to be your starter IMO. If Campbell struggles that first game back, you know that you have a great relief pitcher to bail you out.

Were on a roll with Collins, he should start IF we make the postseason. Beyond that, its Jason's team in my opinion. But for right now, we just got to focus on Dallas. If we go in with this "were playing their backups" crap, were going to lose.

DynamiteRave · 12-24-2007, 01:38 AM

I don't think anyone outright said they hated Collins (Maybe, people do and I just haven't seen it) I think most people agree that TC is NOT starting material, which I personally still stand by. Just because he's not starting material doesn't mean he's not a reliable QB.

And just to add to that, if we make it to the playoffs, I think we should ride TC. He'd be on a 3 game winning streak and there's no point in benching a good thing. Let JC sit and rehab that knee for the rest of the season so he'll be ready to roll next season.

After giving it more thought, I suppose that Gibbs has a precedent here. In '87, backup Doug Williams bailed the Skins out to beat the Vikes at the Metrodome late in the season, and he rode Doug all the way to the Super Bowl.

Thank you. I thought I was the only spelling/grammar natzi on here.

Collins is flat out getting it done. He hit on nearly 76% of his passes tonight. He's cool under fire, he gets the ball out quick, and he hits his spots. I think it's time to start believing in the guy.

skins1973 · 12-24-2007, 02:13 AM

Are you seriously writing this? He has thrown 2 TD passes. Stop being like a cowboys fan anf crowing someone great after they play a couple games. He has filled in and done well but he is a career back up, and that is that. The Redskins will get crushed if they have to play at Seattle, and cannot win at Dallas.

He's thrown 4 now, with 0 INT's.

We've been serving a drink called the 'Todd Collins' all week at the bar. Variations include the 'Vodka Todd' and the 'Dallas Week'...

It's officially Dallas Week!

TC is playing like there isn't anymore football for him after this...and that could very well be the truth
