Kerry Collins retired today

Was looking at the Collins slideshow in the Observer and came across this:

He was just a kid when he played in Carolina. He obviously made some poor decisions, but with help, he turned his life around. I got nothing but respect for a guy that admits his mistakes and works to correct them.

I'm with you. I don't have the hate that others do for him.

The panthers have had 4 winning seasons and Collins gave us one of those along with the greatest game ever played at our stadium.

And his story is he didn't ask to be graded only sit.

He got his stats because he's old as dirt. He's not the caliber of the all time greats. Beurelein was always better than him.

Yeah he doesn't hold water to the greats when it comes to wins and TDS.

Still impressive though

#11 all time passing yards. Damn didn't realize that.

He only needed 110 to pass Joe Montana.

That's entirely correct. I sorry he slighted you guy's that;s not right at all. He used to air the poo out of that ball when he played for us to Hilliard, Toomer, Tiki. Too bad he could not get past the Ravens in the Superbowl. Collins did throw the hell outa the ball thought against the Vikings in the NFC Champ game to beat them 41-0.

Thanks for the memmories Kerry!
