Almost everything in Ashburn, VA today was hot. The 90 degree weather, the national media (Adam Schefter and Peter King) the stellar performance of the Redskins young receiving core (a la Devin Thomas), and the group blond cheerleader wanna-be's working as the volunteer staff.
Everything was hot, well everything beside the timid performance of of 2nd string Quarter Back Todd Collins.
The 37 year-old back up isn't getting any younger, and with a pair of Heisman nominees Colt Brennan and Chase Daniel breathing down his neck this might be the end of Collins time in Washington.
Jason Campbell looked much improved, only throwing a few ducks, and leaving his nay-sayers scrambling looking for reasons to hate on him.
Brennan looked like a future star, and while Daniels didn't look spectacular he seemed to have a pretty good read of the Redskins offesne on this first day of Traning camp.
Let's put it this way, the Redskins are obviously looking to get younger, and those plans might not include Campbell. They're going to include Brennan and possibly Daniels.
Owner Dan Snyder is never one to shy away from the big checks (a la Albert Haynesworth) giving Collins the pink slip before the regular season could save the 'Skins nearly $6 million.
Only three more weeks of blaring heat and intense competition will tell -- we will see if Collins can stay in the kitchen.
