[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 17561, member: 196"] Some of you are too quick to give up on this kid. I understand wanting instant gratification, but it takes time. He is fast, he is strong, he can jump ... His two down sides are he is short and he is young and inexperienced (but every practice he gains in the last departments) He made a big play against San Diego for a touchdown that was only taken away by a bad preseason call. He will be a player in the NFL. It is Carrolls job, he is approaching the task with far more humility since Thomas was promoted ahead of him. He is a proud and competetive young man. I don't see him squandering his opportunity that reemerged when Joey went down. Regardless both will play in the nickle and dime packages. Yes, Collins has the tools. He will be the starter this season. My guess is he will be making big plays and a few big mistakes along the way. My gut says that he will make more big plays than he gives up and the between plays will be better than Sharpers inconsistent play last season. BTW I like Hawkins too, I have from the first moment. You cannot teach burst or that extra gear. He is one of the rare guys that has it naturally. He is slight though and will need to get bigger to handle the rigors of the NFL as a Starter. He will be playing in the dime packages this season. [/QUOTE]
