Todd Collins: Best Backup QB in the NFL?

[MTK]

It's funny, whenever one of our player gets some nice props people want to knock them down. But whenever we feel they got "dissed" we're up in arms over it. You just can't win.

It's about being right, not about feeling slighted.

TC is not the best backup QB in the NFL; it's a straight-up disagreement with Don Banks. That's all it is.

It's just his opinion against ours.

Not sure how anyone can be proven right in this case.

Yeah I'm with ya, I don't think anybody's trying to prove their case. You can probably show stats to support one's opinion on the matter, but in the end it's just a debate on opinions.

I was just responding to your post saying "you just can't win." It's not about winning with me as a writer, at least in my case. I'm not looking for an opinion to prop up the 'Skins. I'm just looking for good opinions, and I don't agree with Banks here.

But it's splitting hairs really, because I do like TC a lot and do think we have one of the better backups in the league. I just can't get too carried away with five starts where the line finally jelled and the WRs finally got healthy. In the minds of the national media (at least in the mind of Banks), Collins went from an unknown assumed to be a bum in 2006 to the best backup in the league after 2007. Both assessments are on the extreme end of reality, IMO.

Well one thing we can agree on Matty is the receivers arent up in arms... Of course that is because we are still in need of a tall receiver like Joe Horn (see other thread)...if our short receivers are up in arms we just cant see them
