In case you do not know yet, Peyton Manning is most likely out for the 2011 NFL season due to a neck injury. So in his spot under center is Kerry Collins. Many people remember Kerry Collins from back when he was a Titan just last year and a few years back. In the off-season Collins retired. But with the bad news about Peyton, the Colts asked Collins to return to play for them. He did... two to three weeks before the regular season began. The Colts record is a depressing 0-3. Since when are the Colts losers??? They are not losers. What many people do not realize is that Peyton Manning has a mind like no one else. He basically created the playbook the Colts use. He uses a language to make calls on the field that no one understands except his teammates. Now Collins is expected to come into this completely new offense, new playbook, new LANGUAGE and win some games. The Colts will win a game this year, I have no doubt about that. It should be understood by all that Collins is in a completely new system. He is unfamiliar with it and is still learning it. Be patient with the Colts. Don't think they won't win a game. They will. Just wait. In the meantime respect what Collins is doing. Let us not forget that this O-Line nearly had Manning killed last year (hence, the neck surgery). Now throw in a new quarterback who is still learning the plays and you have a recipe for disaster. But like I said before, be patient. Collins will pull a win through, if not 3 or 4 wins.
