Fellow blogger David Elfin of the Washington Times offers up an interesting scenario involving Redskins quarterback Todd Collins and former Redskins quarterback Gus Frerotte.
With Frerotte on the outs in St. Louis, where he backed up Marc Bulger, it's highly probable that Collins will give serious consideration to joining the Rams as a free agent. After all, Collins played under Redskins offensive coordinator Al Saunders, who has since hooked on with the Rams.
And given the opening that would be created if Collins does leave, it makes some sense for Frerotte to at least consider the possibility of joining his old team. Frerotte once beat out former first-round QB Heath Shuler in a competition in Washington. Frerotte also was the only quarterback to suffer a sprained neck while celebrating a touchdown.
In a game against the Giants in 1997, Frerotte was so elated over a touchdown that he head-butted a wall. He had to leave the game with a neck injury. I covered the game - Best was there, too - and remembered watching Frerotte walk to an ambulance with a neck brace. He was still in uniform.
Given the circumstances, it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

I was there too. A 7-7 thriller. Frerotte running into the wall was the most exciting play of the night.
