I was stoked when I learned Collins was coming to the team, but I didnt expect him to start over Painter. Painter never really had a time to shine. I believe his stats were something of 5-8 for 68 yards? Compared to Collins 10-20, 78 yards? That just shows lack of knowledge of the offense. He said he was comfortable but it didnt show, in 3 weeks, 3 fumbles. Its like how everyone was raving about how bad Sorgi was but id prefer one of the back ups that have been there for years. No way is anyone going to learn a complex offense in 16 days. I presumed Collins was there for moral support for the back up to give him advice since Peyton wasnt on the field.

I was wondering if anyone else saw that. I would add in Garcon as well. It seemed like the entire offense stepped up when Painter came in, like they were fully supportive of him and going all out to help him succeed whereas I didn't see that when Collins was in.
Not the only one, it did look like everyone stepped up. Garcon mostly. He had 3, if i remember correctly, on the final drive. The out route to the right side of the field was timed perfectly. Chris Collinsworth was saying that was the best timed pass all season from the QB to WR. I was surprised, maybe with all Painters time on the sideline he picked something up and carried over.....crossing fingers here.

ahhh, so i was wrong, but to compare stats, collins had 8 more passes complete for only 30 yards and 16 more passes incomplete.
not good, just shows that he checks down and/or over throws passes because he feels rushed.
i think the best bet is to start Painter this coming week to see what he can do from the start of the game instead of a 4th quarter appearance while down.
I actually liked his composure, except a few of his underthrown passes ala the final pass of the game intended for Collie that was underthrown like 8 yards
