Jason Campbell - What's His Status?

Why does Collins have nothing to lose?

He was given his first chance to start in 10 years.
He has a proven starter in Brunell ready to go in if he doesn't play well.
At his age, not playing well now can easily mean the end of his career.
The team's playoff hopes are still alive.

I think that his willingness to take chances means that he has a pair, and the team appreciates it.
I think what he means is that Todd has been on the bench for ten years. He is too old to become a full time starter and now is probably as close as he will get to playing in a playoff game. If he fails then he has really lost nothing and will be back on the bench next year. If he wins a few games and gets lucky to play in a playoff game and even wins a playoff game he is still back on the bench next year. The only thing I htink he could do is up his worth some to the team or even another team. Not sure of his contract with the skins.

I can buy that explanation.

I must say though, from watching the interviews on Redskins.com, the players are happy with Collins and what he brings to the table.

So one might say he's the Greg Maddux of football?

Well, Maddux wasn't stuck on the bench in the bullpen for 10 years. :benched::silly:

I would say the Tim Wakefield of football.

Nope, Not Maddux, not Wakefield, but Jamie Moyer... couldn't hit 83 on the gun if you 'roided him up for a few years, yet at 45, he's mowing guys down with his control...
