I was HOPING Brennan could impress so we could get rid of Collins and keep both Brennan and Daniel, because they both have (had) great potential and it was tough to pick one to cut.

It's still a tough choice for me, I can see positive reasons to keep either of them. I wanted Collins cut because he won't be able to run an offense with deep passes, so our 5 talented WRs will be underused in a short passing game. Also, he has maybe one or two more years left and the younger guys have long-term potential, even if only as a solid backup. I wanted to keep both so build them up for the future...but Collins has somehow done just enough (although not impressively) to keep the #2 spot and Brennan has failed to take advantage of the opportunity. Collins was impressive in our OLD offensive system based on the Saunder playbook because he's been in it for a decade. Now he's new to the system and I don't believe can excel in a deep passing game, but he has not been supplanted as the backup.

If Campbell goes down, I do not see Collins repeating the last time he filled in.

Colt may still make it, but if he had beat out Collins and allowed both himself and Daniel to stay on the roster, I think the team would be better off long-term. Collins is about finished playing and is mediocre, just serviceable when he does play.
