If I may digress from baseball momentarily to bang my head against nearby surfaces flat or pointy...

Statistically speaking, Kerry Collins had his worst season as a Giants quarterback. In a related item, the Giants have the fourth pick in the draft. Will one and one make two come NFL draft time? Maybe, maybe not, according to general manager Ernie Accorsi. "I can't imagine him not being the starting quarterback," Accorsi told the Newark Star Ledger on Feb. 19. But with five quarterbacks expected to be taken in the first two rounds, Accorsi said he won't ignore future needs. As for Collins' financial future, the team and Collins' agent have started negotiations. Collins has one year left on his contract. He is scheduled to make $7 million during the 2004 season and is to count $8.95 million against the salary cap.
"I can't imagine him not being the starting quarterback."

"I can't imagine him not being the starting quarterback."

I guess going two whole years without setting the league record for fumbles in a season is really going to pay off for ol' Kerry. Heck, this year he threw nearly as many touchdowns as interceptions and his passer rating was well above 70! Okay, not well above. Now, I'm no kind of football expert, but if he gets a contract extension beyond something like a one year "ease the new kid we drafted in 2004 into the starting job" length, I'm going to have trouble imagining the Giants winning the NFC East any time soon. ¶ joe | 5:47 PM |
