Both systems require getting the ball out fast with good timing between the wr and qb. The biggest difference we'll probably see is the tempo of the offense.

I actually agree with both you and Buster here. A system is just a system. It does not define how successful any player can be in it, just how the success will or will not be achieved. Collins' success in Saunders' system should translate just fine to Zorn's. It's not a big deal.
I don't think Collins would be able to repeat his form from last year in Saunders', or any other system. While he's clearly a lot better of an option than Joey Harrington, I was surprised that we were willing to give him 3 mil a year to bring him back.
I mean, you want to get a veteran presence behind Campbell, but only great players seem to be able to remain competent beyond Collins' current age. If Collins was destined to be a great player in this league, who just never got his chance, that speaks very ill of the scouting system in the NFL today--worse than anything I have ever said about it.
More likely, TC isn't a great player, but a pretty good one with a very strong potential for failure here in his twilight years and beyond, especially given the expectations he set for himself last year.
