QB's can be a bit of  a crap shoot.  Just because CDRW didn't work out doesn't mean others won't.  I mean we all know he will not be a seasoned McCord in his second season starting at QB.  I'm a little skeptical of Collins, partially because of his throwing form in his highlights and then his HS stats were so so.  I know his senior year he had 4 new OL starting so that probably didn't help him.  Also the other 4 star QB that LSU had gotten from Lousiana in the 2024 class, Colin Hurley, had very similar stats to Collins so I think the competition is likely tough there and its hard to put up stellar stats. Sidenote, Hurley was involved in a serious car crash this past January.  It looks like Collins footwork and mechanics have gotten better since his HS season and from some articles it sounded like it was even much better as soon as he was at the Elite 11, which he did very well in.  The mental side of things and leadership skills play a large role in how well a QB will perform and I know Fran knows this from the things he's been saying.  The fact that Fran and Nunzio seem to be petty positive about the state of the QB room and decided on Collins already at this point has me a bit more hopeful.  But the offense is certainly going to take a couple steps back IMO. It has to without a high round draft pick starting at QB.  I'm glad we can now start getting Collins more reps at the position to accelerate his development and improve his chemistry with the receivers.
