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?

I think he had one return this year when he did a have a nice one. He got tackled from behind, I think, but my memory is foggy.
Also, there was that 40+ yard reception or whatever; he definitely got tackled from behind.
