BigMike21 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Todd Collins lead us to the playoffs a couple years back and we should always be thankful for that. But let's be real. Todd is what? 37? 38? He is down to his last couple seasons in the NFL and most of all.. The skins will owe him $2M this year. With the help we need on our O-Line particularly, would it be a ggood idea to release a reliable backup vet to make room on our roster and run with 3 young QBs? Or have we not seen enough from CB5 to warrant that just yet? Seriously? I think Collins is cementing his place as the true number 2 QB for the season. Now if we keep losing early there is a chance Colt gets moved to two just to get young players PT if called upon. But to think of just cutting Collins go now seems counterproductive and silly to me.

mi6 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 How old is Kurt Warner, and Jeff Garcia ... they are still playing at top of their game. Colt nor Daniels have demonstrated they are ready to play. When they are, we release Todd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razmahtaz Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Not this year. Next year maybe, but that depends on what happens this year. You can't have JC backed up by a 2nd year QB in Colt and a rookie in Daniels (unless you plan on bringing in another vet QB as a backup, but then that would defeat the purpose of letting Todd go.) how can you say that you cant have a 2nd year qb in brennan be a backup when flacco is a starter and is also a 2nd year QB himself...nobody thought flacco would have immediate success, unlike campbell who is still trying to find success.

razmahtaz Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Collins is still the best quarterback on the team until proven otherwise. what happened to having a veteran starting QB to lead the team and teach the younger qb's? i dont see the younger qb's to be saying that they are learning from campbell. i dont see any type of veteran leadership coming from campbell...just a guy trying to be as unaggressive as he can be.

GhostofSparta Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 how can you say that you cant have a 2nd year qb in brennan be a backup when flacco is a starter and is also a 2nd year QB himself...nobody thought flacco would have immediate success, unlike campbell who is still trying to find success. Flacco was a 1st day pick, who was expected to start right away. Brennan was a 6th rounder who was viewed by all as a project. I'm not saying he can't start or play in the NFL, I'm saying there are different expctations for Flacco and Matt Ryan than there are for a Colt Brennan or Dennis Dixon. The NFL is weird. Sanchez, as a first round pick, could be Peyton or he could be Ryan Leaf. Colt could be the next Tom Brady/Matt Cassel (both 6th rounders) or he could wash out like 95% of QBs taken that late in the draft. Essentially there is no benefit financially from cutting Collins this year. So let him and Colt duke it out for as long as Jason is the starter, and if Colt proves he's got it in year 3, awesome. I'm pulling for the kid. But I'd rather have Collins backing up Jason than Colt right now. Your mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your clearly not listening to the players than... many have stated he is the leader of the team. He isn't aggressive, deal with it. You want a celebrity QB move to Dallas or NY. We have JC, he is solid leader. Look how Cutler lead the Bronco's this offseason.. As far as teaching CB, I'm sure he does but I don't think it is a 3rd year Starters role to teach. That's why we have QB coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyshooZ Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 And leave the team in the hands of a noob QB if Campbell gets hurt? Not a chance. Collins isn't being released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflow78 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 He's Aaron Rodgers' backup, had a sharp performance last week. Flynn does look fantastic. I watched him in a game last season and you could already see he was light-years ahead of Brohm. Just more of the same in their 1st preseason game. He was a real steal for the Packers. Guy is going to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phixius Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 No, who else the Skins have to turn to if Campbell doesn't play well or gets injured. Colt? Can Colt lead the team for the remainder of the season? Maybe but I feel more comfortable with a veteran QB in Collins than Brennan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rook Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 That is the way JC has been coddled the past 4 years. So why not continue? By releasing QB's who have proven to be better, JC climbs the depth chart without competition and can maintain his position without being challenged, which is exactly what he wants. Let's give the baby his bottle. We have already wasted 3 years on the guy, what's another in the grand scheme of the disaster that has been his career so far. Who are these released QBs of which you speak? Ramsey, Brunell? :whoknows: Your posts used to have logic, now they sound whiney. Oh well. :helmet: The Rook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris0894 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 no we need at least one reliable vet on the team IMO....I'd hate to have all young backups that have hardly or not even played with the 1st teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidSnake84 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 We need to give these guys another preseason game before having a better idea of where we are on a grander scale. IMO, Todd was the only QB who looked good in that lifeless game against the ravens. I think Colt will be fine, he just needs more work with the 1st team like everyone does. Also IMO, Campbell hasn't earned himself a free pass to cruise through preseason with only 1 or 2 series each game. He probably could use the work more than anybody at this point. Releasing Todd is a brash move that will ultimately cost us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 What?? You say we should get rid of him b/c he's old and we owe him money. Then you ask if it would be a good idea to keep three young qb's. I'm confused!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yeah, cut his ass and bring back Jeff Rutledge. He's a young 52 and most importantly, he was the backup during our last great years. During those 3 seasons we won a SB, and made it to the divisional playoffs twice winning 5 postseason games in 3 years. We've won 2 postseason games in the 16 years since. Either that or bring back the 46 year old Rypien. Hey, he's only a few years older than Favre, lol. I think Testeverde is about that age now, right? :hysterical: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuraitengai Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 He also was statistically the best QB in our most recent preseason game, and has done nothing to lose the job to Brennan yet. And you ALWAYS have to have 1 veteran backup. i guess bellicheck didnt get that memo... after brady they have a rookie, a two year guy, and a five? year guy in walter thats only played in 12 games in 06, 1 in 07, and 2 in 08. but really, i agree, need a veteran who has nfl game speed. just playing devils advocate.

hiswadeness Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 No, we shouldn't.If Campbell goes down, who's going to come in? I hope you don't expect Brennan to be ready for that. Of course Colt is ready. Isn't he in the HOF as a QB, RB, WR, and OL? If punters would be voted in I'm sure he'd be in as a punter too.
