Scouts Inc. Profile


Collins is an 11 year veteran and he has been with Kansas City as their backup QB for the last 8 years. He is 34 years old and he is on the downhill side of his career. He does not get a great deal of playing time because Trent Green is a durable starter. He is has good size, he is a pocket passer and he has good overall arm strength. He is smart, he has a good working knowledge of the offense and he can get you out of a game over a short period of time. He throws a very catchable ball, he has good accuracy and he has good zip and velocity on deep outs. However, Collins lacks good pocket presence for a veteran QB. He struggle with reading the blitz, he makes poor decisions and he does not have the foot speed, quickness and mobility to buy himself a second chance against the heavy rush. Defenses just tee off when he is in the game and he takes a lot of sacks. Overall, Collins does not have a lot of upside to him at this point in his career. He just does not bring a lot to the table.

What is it with the Skins being everywhere on stuff like this.

Glad we have him. Should help with Campbell picking up the offense faster, and I hope he never has to play. :benched:

The picture must be from the 45-13 thrashing the KC Chiefs laid on Marty's Skins back in 2001 because based on Collins' stats that's the only time he played the Redskins.

This just makes freeagency that much better. He should give Brunell a run for his money for the starting spot. He came cheap and has thrown less interceptions than Ramsey and has been playing five more years. He should be a core guy and will probably be the first guy to practice and the last to leave. Do you guy think that maybe this could lead to us trading Campbell for a first round pick. Then we could pick a good O or D lineman. Way to go Snyder!!!

im pretty sure todd will just be a backup

We are wearing out Burgandy tops, so that must be correct. Stupid Marty making us wear Burgandy at home.

im pretty sure todd will just be a backupI know, I was joking.

That profile is a little disconcerning. Does anyone feel like with the receivers we now have, we should just go out and pick Jeff George up from the gas station he's currently working at. Seriously, he could just throw the ball as far as his old ass arm would let him and our receivers could just go get it. Awesome...

He's here to run demos of Saunder's offense for the other two guys. He knows all the terminology, the reads, the check with me's, the ins, and the outs.

He sounds like the perfect guy to play as much as Campbell did last year in the 3rd string role.
