That's just totally and utterly incorrect. College/Rookie QBs will not complete 63% of their passes for 6.8 yards per an attempt. It's completely unpresidented.

Watch the highlight reels from the first 9 games of last year. Sure, highlights are a poor way to accurately evaluate talent, but they prove your arguement that "all he does is throw dump passes" and "Never challenges the defense downfield" just dead wrong.

Lots of incorrectness abound here. If you think Collins should be given a chance, tell us what you've seen in him that makes you think he deserves more of a chance than any other QB in the league, particuarly Rattay.

I watched the 1st 9 games and it hurt my eyes. It hurt my eyes watching Brunell be a shadow of his former self and throw for 120 yards. His stats are mostly garbage stats at the end of games and at the end of halfs. So that stat stuff your feeding me isn't the real story.

I'm not by any means dogging on Brunell. I liked him in Jack. But he just can't get it done anymore. He gets hurt too much now and it hurts his play. Father time gets us all. So this is why I think Collins should be given more of a chance. We already know what Mr. Brunell can do. Now let's see what Collins can do. That's all I'm ssaying.

You have a good point there. Age saps his ability to heal from injuries and everyday beatings quickly. Brunell is best suited for a backup role at this point in his career.

Still if you graded him just by what he's capable of when healthy, he's one of the top 32 QBs in the league, which means someone is starting someone worse than Brunell. Of course, that's not our problem.

Don't pass off Brunells stats as garbage time without addressing the real story. It's honestly as if people think that the only team that ever plays in garbage time is us. All QBs play in garbage time. There's a certain expectation for a guy who's playing in garbage time, and if a guy exceeds it, thats a credit to him, not a knock on him.

Watch some of the highlight tapes. You may enjoy it since they don't make us relive the end of games like Minnesota and Tennessee.

Or relive at NY and at Phil when our offense looked like a crap.
