I know Todd Collins made a career out of it but hey ... for those who love gametime it must take a lot away from what they've got!
I trust the coaching staffs call based on where CB's at now and his fitness record but who knows what he might have done if things had rolled his way ... he did have a spark and a swagger ... i hope he gets a break somewhere
Hey Brit, do you remember in '06 when McNabb went down with his injury and Detmer came in? He didn't miss a step and they won that game. Remember I think (I could be wrong here) it was either the next game after that or sometime after when Detmer got hurt and Feeley came in and didn't miss a step? Not like they were rookies but they were backups the whole time so I can't agree with the Colt thing. Bottom line is dude could have been working on getting his game back together immediately after he got better from his injury. If he did and he still struggles in practice, that says quite a lot.
