Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation

70Chip · 11-16-2006, 12:04 PM

My take on Campbell in college was that he could not get it done on his own. He struggled at times his junior year. He did excel his senior year, but they had a dominant running game with Williams and Brown, and he was making plays in situations where it would have been difficult to fail. Low hanging fruit. Deep passes on 2nd and 1 against overmatched defenses. That is not the situation he is going into here.

I think if he is put in situations where he has to carry the offense, it will be tough fo him. We must be able to run the ball.

Allow me to break down why this statement is most likely false. First he says that Todd Colins is really bad. This cann't be true because Saunders knows what Collins brings to the table. If he was trully bad, they would have never brought him over from KC. Second nobody trully knows how good Cambell will be. Do you think the Rams knew how good Warner would be?? DO you think the Patriots knew how good Brady would be?? The answere is no, because if they did theose do players would have started from day one. Now ride the bench and only get a chance because of injury. The only think we do know is that Brunnel is terrible. I can't say how happy I am that he is gone. As for Cambel, we'll just have to wait and see.

Collins I do believe was brought over to help ease the transition of the new offense for the other QB's more so with the hopes they wouldn't actually have to play him, judging from what I saw in the pre-season I would be hoping for the same thing, the guy is awful.

looks like a 3 month old comment. nothing to see here... not that'd it'd matter anyways. brunell couldn't get us wins with the current situation and we're out of the playoffs, so there's absolutely no reason not to start campbell and at least give him a chance.

Chris Collinsworth is a dogue bag, he always has been.

Thank you Atomic! Collinsworth REALLY, REALLY, SUCKS! I have always hated his opinions and he has consistently slammed the 'Skins, whatever network he's been slumming with. He probably made the quote up just to try and put a damper on any shred of hope we have for the 'Skins to turn this mess around. I shudder to think that he's working for NFL Network, calling the games they have scheduled this season. Better check the batteries on the remote, so the mute button works!

gortiz · 11-15-2006, 11:30 PM

think about it you guys, how many good talent evaluators do the skins have anyway, not many? I'm not too worried about it. if Vinny said it, who cares, we all know Joe didn't say it, so who's left? Pat Gibbs?

Plus, what top level official with any self respect would crap on his own org with a scrub like Colin????

Go read the scouting report on Romo a few years ago with the cowboys, his biggest fault was his mobility! Just goes to show, its all BS until they get between the numbers man...

what actually does marble mouth really know? better yet i prefer diarreha of the mouth collinsworth. He is the worst reporter on the nfl if you ask me. cant stand him.

freddyg12 · 11-16-2006, 10:56 AM

they were callin for his benching in Auburn, then askin for his autograph by his sr. year when they went 13-0. The kid has shown the ability to improve, often more important than talent. and as many here have said ,C'worth doesn't respect Snyder et al & that has a lot to do w/his willingness to say something that he'll never have to back up.

I like Chris Collinsworth, he's a fairly intelligent guy. I trust most of the things he says, he's fairly unbiased, and usually knows what he is talking about. Would you rather take football advice from him or Bradshaw?????? I don't know enough about this "inside source" to criticize him.

Agreed! Nice post.

I don't blame him for having a negative view of the Skins' personnel moves, as many of us do. And I'm not blaming him for repeating what he was told. But I think he's basing this on the past Skins' drama more than what this source actually said. That's ok, we have a rep & unfortunately we've earned it. On the positive side, I'm glad that expectations seem to be low for JC, he can come out as an underdog.

Collingsworth is freaky idiot! Lets wait to Sunday to see if he knows what the hell he talking about.
