If Brunell sucks it doesn't say much for Mr. career backup Todd Collins. If either of these guys had to play a significant amount this year we're screwed. I think Brunell gets the nod though due to his experience level.

And his skill level gets him the nod as well. I mean who would rather have Brunell or Collins? I rest my case.

I guess your right. Collins has no game experience but I sure would like to see Collins get some time this pre season. I mean how do we know this guy can't play? Has anyone actually seen the guy play? He has stuck around the NFL for a while so he must have some talent.

This is Collins what, 12th season in the NFL, and he has how many starts? This is guy is a career back up who has only hung around because of his system knowledge and ability to teach players. He is the quintisential "player coach."

Brunell on the other hand is old and broken down, but the guy is a player, is well respected in the locker room, and has shown that if healthy, he is a great #2 QB. Let's not forget that Brunells problems are related to health. When his legs get balky, he is about as useful a third nipple, but when healthy, he can play at a high level as he has proven in fits and starts over the last couple years.

With Bramlet showing legit potential, and Palmer coming in as a draft pick, Collins looks like the odd man out to me. If he's that important in teaching the system, hire him as a QB coach or "offensive consultant," but don't waste a roster spot on him. Quite frankly, if we are down to our #3 QB, it means our season is probably shot and we'd be better off testing out young talent for future value than trying to eek out wins with sub-par talent.

i'd like to see bramblett,the world bowl mvp get the backup job.he can't help but learn from brunnel and campbell.collins needs to go elsewhere,but he has been content to ride the bench 12 years.he may become complacent running the scout teams,or the away offenses week to week!
