It's easy, and only takes a few moments.So let's sign him now, that's just my take anyways.I hear what you're saying, but I think there are obvious benefits to him remaining a bit under the radar for one more year. The concern is that we may not match the types of offers that he'll almost certainly receive on the open market, although his strong play may result in a deep playoff run.

i doubt its for lack of effort from the pats, hes looking at the money guys got this offseason though and wants to get a max dealSign the beast.
How could he be a DPOY candidate before the season is even played?

I'm missing something. the link sends me to a James Harrison story. are we talking about collins or what?http://m.bleacherreport.com/nfl
Yeah yeah, I get Simms is in this video and that will likely be all that anyone cares about, but I'm just psyched that people are finally unable to overlook this guy any longer.
Edit: son of a **** the link is messing up, won't let me load it.
What happened was every time I tried to send a link to the specific article, it kept showing up as an error video. So I just said screw it and linked the NFL page, and the article should be on that page somewhere.I'm missing something. the link sends me to a James Harrison story. are we talking about collins or what?
Oh I was outraged. Go figure the only defensive player they voted on from our team just left, and was somewhere in the 40's ranked. Seems a little fishy to me.collins wasn't included in the nfl network top 100
no idea how

Because he's freaking good and was on his way for serious consideration until he became sick.How could he be a DPOY candidate before the season is even played?
That was last year.Because he's freaking good and was on his way for serious consideration until he became sick.
Only performance qualifies someone as "a candidate under consideration" and nobody has performed yet. Right now, all NFL defensive players are candidates until performances meriting consideration for the honor can be compared.Someone can be a candidate for anything if the are under consideration. It doesn't mean they'll win.
We disagree. He is a consensus top 5 LB and if he plays a full season will have crazy numbers.That was last year.

I don't doubt that Collins is potentially capable of becoming DPOY this coming season or thereafter, but to call him a candidate for it this year -- before the season is played -- is silly.
This probably just boils down to semantics. Is he a top player to watch with DPOY potential? Of course. But he shouldn't be considered a "candidate" until after the season is played. He could get hurt, have a subpar year, or 10 other guys could put in superior performances.We disagree. He is a consensus top 5 LB and if he plays a full season will have crazy numbers.
Maybe the right context is that he is projected as a spot candidate?
