I retract everything--Billy couldn't possibly play any worse than that...

He should have been brought in during training camp. Signing him at the time we signed him, especially for him to be a starter, made no sense. And I certainly dont expect Collins to all of a sudden transform into Peyton Manning, but I think the more work he gets with the receivers the better he will become. But it probably would have made sense to let Volek start today so Collins could have had another week of work before being thrown into the fire.

 

Hahaha! What Volek have YOU been watching? :ha:

For as crappy as Collins was, Volek would have done just as bad. At least Collins hit the two-point conversion. Volek would have taken a sack because someone grazed his shoe.

 

The coaching staff sucks and their decision to put the hope of the team in a guy who has been at practice for all of 11 days is incomprensible. This makes absolutely no sense to me, Billy would've given us a better chance to win, but ultimately the decisions of this organization continue to baffle me, and disappoint me nonetheless. We lost to the friggin JETS, and made Chad Pennington look like an All-World QB again, after so many questions about his shoulder. Pathetic

 

There was no good reason not to put Volek in for the final 2 minute drill.

 

So you're going to judge a guy on a week & 1/2 worth of work, & his 17 or whatever throwing. :sad2:


He went to a SUPER BOWL once!


What on gods green EARTH has stupid Billy Volek EVER done when it counted? A mop up time 65 rating? nword please

 

Then why play him? If he hasn't been here long enough to grasp everything then why did he get the nod?

 

& let us not forget how Chad Pennington & his reconstructed right arm shredded our defense for three 1/2 quarters ...

but that was Collins' fault too I guess?

 

Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson WON SUPER BOWLS once, what's your point?

 

I didnt make the decision so I dont know. But I dont think it is a matter of grasping everything, I think it is more getting your timing and rhythmn down with your receivers. I think it was a piss poor decision by management to not bring him in earlier, and I think it is a questionable coaching decision to not go with Volek for at least this week.

 

To be honest, I'm not sure Volek woulda have done so much better than Collins. I was upset at Bennett for Collins 1st INT (I think), wehn he gace up on the play, and he could have dived to save the IN happening.
