I was going through some of my Collins collection and noticed these






which has me thinking what would of happened if Collins had been drafted by one of these teams and not the Panthers. So what are your thoughts guys.

Cool cards by the way. I was a huge Kerry Collins fan. Especially for Ny obviously but i liked him Carolina. The most interesting would had been if he went to Indy. Where would Peyton now be.....That could have changed the face of the NFL!!! Besides San Diegos huge mistake of Ryan Leaf.

I would have like to see him play for the Bills................

Thats what I was thinking the most. With Collins at the helm of Indy would they have been that bad to get Manning in 98. I really don't think they would.

I wouldn't I would have rathered Arizona than the Bills.

I believe Peyton might have fallen to the Jets that year....I dont quiet remember how the order went. But they needed a qb and if collins went to Indy They would have gotten Peyton. That would be weird now to see Peyton in a JETS uni.

I'm not sure if those teams had the best options for him. Remember Kerry took the Panthers pretty darn far. The first year 7-9, and the second year AN EXPANSION team winning 12 games?? I think Kerry ended up in a good place for him and like I said previously, if Romo hadn't have busted him up, I believe that things would have been entirely different for Kerry.

Oh I completely agree that where he ended up was best for him. But could you imagine Collins to Harrison, and Collins to Wayne?

That would have been sweet for Collins to have had those kind of weapons. Looking at this draft board and the teams in the top 10...Peyton could have gone to any of them. Except maybe the Jags who had Brunell at that time.
