Backup Quarterback Really a Race?

While the 'Skins got pounded by an aggressive Ravens defense Thursday, it was apparent which quarterback was up to the task: veteran Todd Collins.

Collins completed eight of eleven passes for 70 yards. Though he didn't get any points on the board, he still played a clean game, free of interceptions or sacks.

Colt Brennan didn't look as crisp. Brennan was being pressured constantly, forcing him to get rid of the ball quicker than he would have liked. This led to only four completions on 12 attempts for 43 yards. He was also sacked three times and threw one pick.

As Brennan challenges for the backup spot, performances like that cannot happen. Collins looked way ahead of Brennan, and should probably have the spot in the end.
