Zorn wanted to cut Brennan prior to 09 season - report

[MTK]

Collins had a solid tenure here, he's always going to be a fave of mine for how he played down the stretch in '07.

AMEN! I would take a well prepared PROFESSIONAL like Todd Collins as my backup QB over an immature, cocky Colt Brennan any day of the week. I was never a big fan of the Brennan selection. He had bloated numbers playing in a "Chuck and Duck" system in college. How many of those types ever amount to anything at the next level? 'Nuff said.

People may think I am crazy but I truly believe this team would have won more games if Collins was the started during the two years that Saunders was here.

Sunny seemed to think we would have won more games last year with Collins as the starter. I guess we will never know...

It was great to be a Redskins fan during that run with Collins.

Yeah, I think I've been unnecessarily harsh on Collins both before his success here, and after it, usually in response for someone propping him up to be something he isn't. But one thing that Collins absolutely was here was a great signing. I'd say that either he or Randle El was the second best signing of the 2006 offseason behind Carter. And he got a fraction of the money of the rest of them.

Terrible extension of course, the Redskins should have let him walk after 07 at his asking price, but excellent signing in 2006.

Of course. Everything I say about ARE is an open invitation to rip him.

#3 receivers making #1 money are always going to be easy targets.

Not to mention return specialists can be found in the later rounds and UDFA. Hell, Trinidon Holliday is worth it because he actually has straight line speed while Randle El didn't since 2008.

Randle El didn't run straight since 2008 so it's hard to say if he still had the speed or not. He was usually pretty money on 3rd down but then again Reche Caldwell was too and what happened with that?
