I'm trying to remember......
How long did it take for us to figure out that Todd Collins sucked?
Was it two seasons?Comment

Re: I'm trying to remember......
I think he got 1 season. 14 games. After his 3rd rookie season the Bills cut him.

Re: I'm trying to remember......
For me, it was his first preseason game at home against the Steelers. He snapped the ball, saw Lloyd (I think) coming at him, and did a George Plimpton...ran backwards...and tripped over the 30 yard line. Two plays in a row.
Jimbo was pacing the sidelines in front of me, and I yelled:
"Jim...help Collins pull his head out of his ass!"
Jimbo turned around, looked me straight in the eye, and did one of these...
He had a couple of workmanlike games in 1996 when Jim was sidelined with an injured hammy, Indy, and Dallas.
But after Jim retired, and Collins was handed the ball, it was pretty clear that he couldn't handle the job, despite the fact that the 1997 Bills were 3-2 going into New England. (The Billy Joe Hobart game)
After that the wheels fell off and Levy went with Van Pelt two weeks later.Comment

Most of us knew pretty much right away,
unlike JP who's here to stay.
