Has Todd Collins vindicated the Al Saunders offense?

The offense didn't need to be vindicated.

Agree...AS is a proven year after year offensive guru. His O's are consistently top 10 in the league. He doesn't need vindication. For whatever reason its clicking now.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Saunders was on the hotseat prior to this run and he could have ended up being the scapegoat had we missed the playoffs.

His track record in KC and STL speaks for itself.

Sure but that wouldn't have saved his job here.

These last 4 weeks has cemented Saunders job and has definitely validated the decision to bring him here.

I don't think Saunders was going to get fired. We were playing with a young QB who was improving. Why change things around in such an early stage of his career? Look at the top QB's? Brady, Manning, Palmer, McNabb Farve. All those guys have been in one offense their whole careers. That would have been a very stupid thing to do IMO.

I don't think he would have been fired either... but with a 2nd straight lackluster season he would have been on the hotseat at the very least.

I think the real question is when do they change the name of the drink to the Tod Collins

I don't think that Gibbs was looking to get rid of him, but there were a lot of rumblings about Saunders possibly being made the scapegoat at the end of the season. Maybe it was just the media, but maybe not.

Regardless, there shouldn't be any questions anymore.
