Haugh is right on:

Why was Collins ahead of "emergency quarterback" Caleb Hanie on the depth chart anyway? Collins shouldn't have been on the roster, let alone in a game to decide the Super Bowl. He only took six snaps but all were wasted as Hanie watched. Sure, Hanie threw an interception that B.J. Raji returned for the game-winning touchdown. But he gave the Bears offense life. Collins gave it cyanide.

The decision to insert Hanie with 57 seconds left in the third quarter to hand off twice potentially made a bad decision to go with Collins worse. As per NFL rules, it meant that if Hanie was hurt on the first play of the fourth quarter, the Bears would have been forced to finish the game with Matt Forte or Earl Bennett at quarterback. Ugh.

Collins doesn't belong on a football field.
