But would you take your chance with Collins (back up QB) over Chase (3rd QB) because he is a veteran or go for the upside.
That being said please add this to the equation. Collins was the product of a system in which he was in for over 10 years. He did lead us to a win streak a couple of years ago but stunk it up in the playoff game vs Seattle. This current system is not that system. May be why he looked so horrible last preseason. So what are your thoughts. I think Colt has gained enough experience (in this system) to be our starting QB after he sits on more season and Chase could also be a vaulable project after one year on the sidelines..

Chase was better in '07 than in '08 IMHO. Not sure what to think about who should go. I mean you have 2 Heisman candidate QBs and a proven vet. Collins is the experienced vet that did get us into the playoffs, so he has proven he can get the job done, but he is old. Brennan thus far is a tease and McDaniels is the wildcard since we haven't seen him operate in a Skins uniform. To be honest I would put Chase over Colt. Why? Just for the fact that Chase really earned his Heisman candidacy in the Big 12 playing the likes of OK, Texas, TT, OK St, and Nebraska every season, while Colt got it easy at Hawaii. Don't get me wrong, Colt is exciting, but would he even have been drafted say if he played with the big boys in college? Big 12 football is probably the closest thing to the NFL in Div 1-A, so Chase is used to big games, pressure, etc. The only time Colt had any kind of real pressure on him in college was the Sugar Bowl vs LSU and he got slaughtered.
