I doubt he gets used much, if at all, at QB, so I honestly don't really care. If he gets used for a handful of red zone plays, I'm fine with it.

Has it been confirmed that what they're doing with Collie is prepping him to be the actual backup QB? or is it simply for a few plays in a game like many teams do?

It's just Weddle 2.0. Staley lined up at QB a few times for Crowton too. As long as it does not become the norm I don't have a big problem with it. I am willing to suspend judgement until I see how it works.

1. It appears to be more than that, based on what I'm hearing from Harmon, Wrubell, etc. 2. It's coming at a time Collie is recoving from injury and therefore needs any practice time devoted to timing and other position duties. Just seems really bizarre. One of my favorite plays of all time is when Staley audibled out of a run and threw it out to Mahe. Sweet. |

Here is my prediction. At some point, probably in the UW game, they'll break huddle and Max Hall will awkwardly line up at wideout while Collie lines up at shotgun. When the ball snaps he'll run a sweep or option around the side opposite Hall. It will gain about five or so yards. Sometime later that game they'll run the play again. The next time they run it, Collie will fake the sweep and launch one deep to a wideout. Or they'll run a reverse.

I caught the tail end of the interview, but he seemed to be saying that they are looking at Collie as a legitimate backup QB in case Hall is hurt, both running and throwing. And they are giving up enough reps to prepare him as such.
