A vet Qb like Collins that has studied the Air coryell system for 5 years in KC KNOWS the basics and knows the playbook under vermeil in KC ( same as vermeil-martz with rams), so that was WHY he was the smart choice here.. not as a long term anything, but a Qb that didn't need his hand held and knew the system already and could potentially come in the first few weeks of the season if needed.
