As the Skins get ready for a rare playoff game a lot of the media attention has been on the play of backup quarterback Todd Collins.  I can see how this is a compelling sorry.  He hadn’t started a game in 10 years, blah, blah, blah.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad the Skins have him and I’m glad he’s playing well but I’m assuming I’m not the only die hard fan who actually gets discouraged by this situation.

I want the Skins to have a good, long term quarterback.  I’m not sure Jason Campbell is, or can be, that guy - but I’m positive Todd Collins can’t be that guy.  Collins might be able to lead them deep into the playoffs - maybe even to the Super Bowl - but there’s no way he’ll be the QB in DC in 2 years (or even next year).

So I skip over the Collins stories.  I’d rather read about Joe Gibbs or Gregg Williams or Portis or pretty much anything other than Collins.

Go Skins!
