Todd Collins!!!!!–and Bears Game Recap
MVN RSS —
First with the important question.
Who the heck is Todd Collins?
The Redskin backup took over for Jason Campbell who suffered a potentially serious injury to his left knee in the 2nd quarter Thursday night. Collins was a Brunell-esque 15 for 20 for a Brady-esque 11+ yards per attempt in relief of Campbell. More importantly, he led three touchdown drives and the Redskins won.
More importantly is the emergence of a potentially dominant red zone defense for the Redskins. The Bears didn’t really get any big plays on the Redskins, although some great ...
Costly victory

... No big shakes, but Todd Collins is now a higher rated passer than Tom Brady in 2007. Anyone else find it interesting that Mark Brunell is the 3rd string quarterback? I'm not complaining given the game that Collins had, but that one surprised me a bit. Also, go watch highlights from last night's game here; it opens with disastrous looking Todd out there single hopping a pass and fumbling the ball (and jumping away from it, as if it were a grenade) and then all of a sudden dude goes off and starts throwing laser beams.

Collins comes in, playcalling opens up
ckstevenson.blogspot.com 12/7/2007 — Wow. Yet it seems that with Collins in the game, Al Saunder (Sub-Chief Advance Pro Temperate of Offensive Considerations, or SCAPTOC) felt more comfortable with the playbook.
Either that, or Gibbs fell asleep and an intern started calling the plays.
And as Gumbel said with great emotion, for him, this was Collins' "best game of the century". And of the past decade as well.
Requiem for Jason Campbell’s Season
misterirrelevant.com 12/7/2007 — So it appears that Jason Campbell’s first full season under center is over, and in gruesome, gut-wrenching fashion. Improbably, Todd Collins came in and led the Redskins to victory in a must-win situation. And even though the injury came on the ...
Quick Hitters: With courage comes victory
hailredskins.com 12/7/2007 — Congratulations to Todd Collins, who came off the bench and did precisely what a backup quarterback is meant to do: run the offense as if nothing had happened to the first guy. Collins was poised in the pocket [though he didn’t face much pressure], made no bad throws, and looked as if he’d been running those plays for years. Oh, wait — that’s right.
