Collins locks up the #2 job, Colt and Chase fighting for the #3

I just heard Larry Wiesman say on Redskins Nation that the Patriots had called about Todd Collins and were told to look elsewhere.

I'd have taken almost any deal NE offered. This team isnt going anywhere and IMO, TC doesnt fit in the long term plans for the Skins. I'd have let TC go and let CB & CD develop with the Skins.

The question was asked, "Why not trade Collins to N.E. and pick up some draft picks and keep Colt AND Chase"? That was what brought up Wiesman's response.

On the other hand, if the Patriots wanted him, that means they see value there which would mean we should probably hang on to him.

That's an organization that seems to have an eye for talent.

NE would have given us garbage. like a conditional 7th round pick or something. If JC goes down, id hate to have Colt as our backup. We'd be looking at a losing season IMO.

That's what I'm saying, trade TC and keep Colt & Chase. This isnt a playoff team with or without Collins so get something for him and keep the young QBs.

Hard to say. I want to keep both young studs, but yeah if JC went down Collins was the man 2 seasons ago and got us into the playoffs with a 5-0 starter record. He might be old, but he got the job done. THeSkins are counting on the loser of the #3 QB battle to be put on the practice squad and not being picked up. I think their gamble has a better than 50-50 chance of panning out.

The season hasn't even started and some of us have already given up. :(

Man, you're such a buzz killer. I can picture you now telling a dying man "You're dying dude, here's a pistol. Oh wait, no bullets, maybe you can pistolwhip yourself with it? Good luck."

I always have been a Colt fan, he made some mistakes in his life and then bounced back and lead Hawaii to a BCS game. He will most likely be a career backup and it hurts me to say that. He will be number 3 this year and move in to the 2nd string positions as early as next. IF Jason Campbell starts of rocky look for some "We want Colt" chants.

We should trade Collins for draft pick to team that needs vetern QB. JC is our Vet! resign JC to long term contract and keep both young boys for the future and to back up JC! JC can hold it down long term while we develop the young talented QB's! its not like COllins is a great back up, he is just average at best and we got to young average QB's that Zorn hand picked so he can develop them. If collins is such a good number two he should be worth something in a trade. We need to focus more on our youth not old guys who have never been a number one on any team.
