Collins in Oakland! - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

Kerry Collins has been in Oakland the last couple of days, maybe nothing but thought I would pass it along!

Isn't Oakland close enough to San Fran also. Don't get the hopes too high!

Oakland seems like the perfect fit for Collins. He can caddy for Gannon for a year or two. With the additions on the line, the Raiders will make all of their QB's look good. Give Collins a good line and he can pick apart a defense.

May indicate Gannon isn't coming along from his injury as well as they would like.

I think it is more indicative of the fact that they do not have an eventual replacement for Gannon. The guy probably had only 1-2 years left in him.

Ya, I am sure that enters into it also. I would think they would try for a younger QB than Collins though. Isn't he like 29 or so? Certainly brings the experience, but you are then back in the same situation in a couple of years. Of course I have heard that Al Davis doesn't like younger guys, particularly at QB.
