So, has anyone found out or said why Todd Collins (he of the 10 years between starts) was higher on the depth chart than Mark Brunell (he of the 2006 Opening Week starter)? As far as I can tell Brunell isn't hurt and is still on the Redskins roster. Did Collins simply outplay him in training camp?
Key word there is combined rushing and passing. Broke them on the strength on his rush yardage. (I looked up his stats the other day, they were insane.) Whoever signs him and uses him right has a huge weapon on their hands.
