that reminds me of college overtime. doesn't the first team just have to go for the TD every time, and if they do take a fg, then the 2nd team has to, if they want to win.

As for Colt he needs to learn pretty quickly that int's in the RedZone does not make for a long NFL career.

IF Campbell brings Snyder his first Lombardi trophy, Campbell WILL be $100Million dollars richer.

I am just happy we have some decent QBs to contend with. I am following the Bears Broncos Sunday night game and neither team has any real QB depth. IF their starters go down they are freaking doomed. The backups don't look too bad for either team, but Collins and both our young QBs look better.

I just heard Larry Wiesman say on Redskins Nation that the Patriots had called about Todd Collins and were told to look elsewhere.

I'd have taken almost any deal NE offered. This team isnt going anywhere and IMO, TC doesnt fit in the long term plans for the Skins. I'd have let TC go and let CB & CD develop with the Skins.

The question was asked, "Why not trade Collins to N.E. and pick up some draft picks and keep Colt AND Chase"? That was what brought up Wiesman's response.

That's what I'm saying, trade TC and keep Colt & Chase. This isnt a playoff team with or without Collins so get something for him and keep the young QBs.

Hard to say. I want to keep both young studs, but yeah if JC went down Collins was the man 2 seasons ago and got us into the playoffs with a 5-0 starter record. He might be old, but he got the job done. THeSkins are counting on the loser of the #3 QB battle to be put on the practice squad and not being picked up. I think their gamble has a better than 50-50 chance of panning out.

The season hasn't even started and some of us have already given up.

Man, you're such a buzz killer. I can picture you now telling a dying man "You're dying dude, here's a pistol. Oh wait, no bullets, maybe you can pistolwhip yourself with it? Good luck."

On the other hand, if the Patriots wanted him, that means they see value there which would mean we should probably hang on to him.

That's an organization that seems to have an eye for talent.

Such an eye for talent that the only reason they need a back-up QB now is they just had to cut a 3rd round pick they spent on QB last year.

And they came close to cutting Cassel last year...

Teams were all over O'Connell like flies on a picnic, but the Lions nabbed him.

That wasn't meant to imply that the Patriots are immune to mistakes from time to time. They just don't make as many as everybody else.

Either way, if they like Collins we should probably keep him.

Big C · 09-01-2009, 07:01 PM

NE would have given us garbage. like a conditional 7th round pick or something. If JC goes down, id hate to have Colt as our backup. We'd be looking at a losing season IMO.
