Kerry Collins
Question
Hello Bill,
I am curious as to why no team has signed up Kerry Collins and do you think he will still be playing football?
Answer
No one has signed him because for teams that needed a veteran QB, there were better options across the league - for example Trent Dilfer was seen by SF as having more upside, and less risk than someone like Collins.
Collins is a pretty mediocre QB - a career 73 passer rating QB. Last year he had 20 TDs to 12 INTs, which is good, but he was sacked an astounding 39 times (that may have more to do with Oakland's overall offense than him), and more disturbing to me was a 53% completion rate for 6.7 yards per attempt. That's pretty rinky-dink in a vertical offense like Oakland runs.
That being said, sure, someone will pick him up, especially after training camp/pre-season and some QB rips his knee apart.
