    Give the guy a break. He's played for some awful teams, like the Raiders, and we put him in the lineup with no weapons and while he did not fully know the playbook.

    Collins has dropped some weight and is much more mobile. I've been shocked to see him take the ball down and run more than once. Even more shocking is he's scooting along at a good pace when he decides to run.

    And he's willing to throw the ball downfield more than Vince. I think he's a good compliment to Young and a solid influence. Vince said so himself in an NFL interview this week that Collins was helping him along with Dinger and Craig Johnson.

    The average yardage per pass in the nfl is around 7 give or take 10%. Collins in his career has averaged 6.6 yards a pass attempt. Last year collins averaged 6.48 yards a pass. Nice theory about him throwing downfield but the yardage he creates per play isn't any better and has never been above average. Actually below.

    I say we pick up Chris Leak. He was released right?

    He could not make it with the Chiefs, so he would have no shot here. Plus, it's too late to bring in a QB to learn the system. We'd be better off with Martin.

    Okay. I didn't know he was with KC.

    Well, he tried out for them, and did not make it. He's in the CFL now.
