Will Todd Collins Return in 2008?

I'm loving this guy like crazy, as we all are I'm sure. But I'm kind of nervous, really nervous, about him being a free agent next year. I mean there are a lot of mediocre quarterbacks out there right now, and you can see how much of a difference a good quarterback can make on your team.

I know this is a horrible time to entertain such a question with a big playoff game coming up, but who are the possible suitors for Collins next year? Especially knowing that Jason is still going to be the guy.

I was thinking about same thing.. All I can say is I really hope we will resign him - release Brunell and give his money to Collins..

I think he stays on as long as Saunders does.

I hope so. But you better believe someone's going to try and pry him away from the Skins.

If I were Collins, I'd stay. He's 36 years old, knows Saunders' system, has Saunders and the fans pulling for him, and Gibbs loves experienced QBs. If he wins a playoff game or two, there's no way Gibbs goes with JC in week 1 of the 2008 season. As much as I love JC, TC has earned the right to be the starter.

love to see him stick around but I think 2 questions are out there:

1) will we be willing to spend the money to keep him knowing he is the number 2 and

2) if he has a chance to start somewhere else, at his age will he want to stick around

I don't know the answer to either question but I hope he sticks around

Whatever happens, I think we can brace ourselves for the annual quarterback controversey here in Washington next summer.

I don't think Todd is number 2 anymore. :cool-smil

Next season he will be a #2, no question (I think). But his value to our team now that we know that he can step in and be the starter is worth a little more than what you pay any old backup. With himon the team we have two starters. I really hope he stays. And the way Joe likes to stock up veteran depth at the QB spot, I think Collins stays.

what would the skins be without a good qb controversy to stir things up Sonny-Billy Billy-Joe and all the others I remember Joe T returning punts just to get playing time. there's something you would never see in this era
