I'm not high on Collins, so I say why not for #3, but I feel Collins will stay for his knowledge of the system. Wishful thinking anyway.
I thought Flutie was one of best back-up QBs in nfl??

If that was not sarcasm, then you just proved my point. Look at how amazing he did in the CFL...what did he do in the NFL? Thus the Doug Flutie syndrome.

He wasn't bad in the NFL. He just never really got that much of a chance because he was only 5'10". He still made it to the pro bowl in 1998.

What do you mean he wasn't given a chance? He was the starter for the Bills and Chargers. Also, if he was THAT good, he would have had MANY more starts.
So again I say...he was AMAZING in the CFL and nothing in the NFL.
He wasn't good in the NFL, he was average...he was ALL FREAKIN WORLD in the CFL. He was so good, he became the first American to be voted into the Canadian Hall of Fame.

The guy overachieved for a player of his size, made a pro-bowl, and started for a few years for a few teams. Maybe not amazing, but FAR from nothing.
