LOL. Manning must have some serious untold issues if their bringing Collins out of retirement to play QB for them. How old is he now? Like 100? Get the crutches and hover round ready, cause he wont be able to take many hits. I hope they got a backup plan for collins also when he goes down if Manning ends up not playing the whole season. I heard Favre still wants to play. JK.
Bite your tounge Cerberus, Farve indeed. I think Collins could well be an improvement over what they had backing up Manning though. As a Manning owner I'm more concerned with each bit of news that comes out.
I read them an hour ago but they don't come to mind now, sorry.
Mute can be good.

I wonder who gets dropped from that bunch?
I'll work on my social skills Cerberus. It's been a while since I mixed with the public.

You have that kind of time?
All I had this summer was time.

If the Colts dont think Painter or Orlovski are worthy back-ups im curious why they did not address this issue a few seasons ago instead of waiting until Manning might not be able to start, he's 35yrs old and not getting any younger.

I think they wanted to give that QB backup bunch some serious playing time in the pre-season just to see if any of them had made any strides toward becoming a quality backup. Obviously, none of them had shown they could step up to the challenge. So grabbing Collins here is a great move because he can at least deliver starter production. Also, this is good for the rest of the skill positions as well as Collins in practice can deliver a better quality of reps for the WR corp. Even if Collins isn't used at all in the regular season the WR corp will be much better prepared having worked with Collins for a couple of weeks instead of the current backups. Peyton will be rusty but you don't need the whole WR corp being out of sorts after playing with substandard QBs for the whole camp. It might have been better to bring in Collins a little earlier but they had to see what they did have in terms of backups first.

Wasn't he drunk passed out in some bar while in his prime?
Or was that when he decided to let his coach know that he did not want to start on Sunday?
