Can someone please try to explain to me why Collins isn't given a chance to play?

[ceviker]

This isn't a ***** and moan thread. I'm struggling to figure out why Zorn is so gunshy about pulling Campbell and going to Collins? I just can't figure it out. Its beyond ridiculous at this point.

If you start Collins: best case scenario is he lights the team up, Skins rally to make playoffs and saves Zorn's career.

Worst case scenario is that he plays just like Campbell and Zorn is fired.

There is no additional downside from playing Collins.

So please - does anyone have any ideas?

[FuriousD]

Yeah. The reason is called Jim Zorn is an idiot. End of story.

:anon:

[Combatant]

Just an opinion: The failure of Campbell means the failure of Zorn; Zorn's pride to coach up a quarterback gets in the way...once again, just my opinion.

[zoony]

The only thing that makes sense is that Zorn, having been benched as a player himself, is reluctant to do that to anyone.

A qb protecting another qb

Someone needs tell Zorn, his job is on the line

[dcoles11]

This team's problems on the offensive side of the ball are far beyond anything Todd Collins can fix.

Nope. Not today. Not even close.

Sorry but you could not be more incorrect. Nice catchy thing to say though.

This team really has nothing to lose by putting tc in..It certainly can't get any worse..putting up 0 points angainst the mighty 0-5 chiefs in the first half...

That's the only thing I can think of too, but doesn't he realize that his job is hanging on by a thread? You would think that desperation mode would set in and we would start to see changes.

<sigh>

[ColdnGrey]

Because Collins is even worse.

[Stophovr6]

Zorn is a very stubborn and stupid man.

[laurent]

I'm on the fence with respect to Collins, I just don't think he's any better than Campbell.

[Stophovr6]

Because Collins is even worse.

I don't know how you can make this assumption since you've never seen Collins play for Zorn in a regular season game. If Collins is worse then he is the worst QB the NFL has ever seen. Because Campbell is one of the worst I've ever seen. His inability to lead a scoring drive is depressing beyond belief.

[mnb123]

There is no explanation

[TimmySmith]

Zorn does not have the gonads to make personnel changes. Not HC material. Any good coach would be making changes.

[Stophovr6]

I want to see that for myself. Bottom line is, Campbell is not getting it done, so why not give it a shot?

[Shamus]

do you have any idea how many sacks there would have been in the first half if collins was in? you cant put a slow immobile qb in with no o-line.

you know nothing about football.

[arkowi]

This team's problems on the offensive side of the ball are far beyond anything Todd Collins can fix.

You mean like when he missed a wide open santana moss?

or when he threw a beautiful pass out of bounds?

[BayouBrave86]

How can you be worse than not putting any points up on the board against the worst defense in the league????????

[TimmySmith]

holy ****.....

[dcoles11]

Nope. Not today. Not even close.

I guess we we'll get to see now Bet a Coke on it? I hope you win by the way.

[Corcaigh]

And there you have it ...

[Stophovr6]

do you have any idea how many sacks there would have been in the first half if collins was in? you cant put a slow immobile qb in with no o-line.

Collins knows how to throw on rhythm, they won't have time to get to him if he does the job Campbell is supposed to be doing. Do you know anything about how a QB is supposed to time his throws? I don't think you do, I don't think Campbell does. I do think Collins gets it.

[TimmySmith]

SOmebody tell KC that Collins can't throw deep.

[bamf33]

About time!!! Lets go TC
