Has Todd Collins vindicated the Al Saunders offense?

I agree that Campbell has made the same throws, but Collins is hitting those 30-40 yard passes for TD's to his wide receivers. Campbell hit Cooley a couple of times but had a hard time finding Moss et.al. in the end zone. He did, however, hit those guys for long gains between the 20's.

Campbell also seemed to get a little rattled in the second half. Not unnerved, but it now looks to me that he had a little trouble dealing with opposing defenses second half adjustments. I expect that having another offseason to review will fix that for him. I read an article in the Post where Dick Vermiel was interviewed saying that he believes Campbell really needs this next offseason and then he will light it up.

Right now, Collins is just making the throws in the second half that keep sustaining drives and scoring points. We have lacked that with Campbell.
