The Packers always error on the side of caution with players who have suffered some kind of neck trauma. Sterling Sharpe, Terrance Murphy and Jeremy Thompson all come to mind.

Whether you believe they do that to avoid responsiblity for the player or they do it because they care. Does it have to be one or the other, can’t it be both?

Nick was by far the most talented player on our defense he’s going to be hard to replace. Thanks for the pick-six in the super bowl- and every other big play you made.

This one sucks to bad. Collins was a lot of fun to watch grow. He started as a rookie who was so athletic but so inconsistent (and he wore #36, to boot, shortly after the great LeRoy Butler). Then things started clicking for him a few years ago and he was one of the top safeties in the NFC. And now he’s likely done.

I think the worst part is how it happened. It looked so routine — I’m sure players take similar knees to the head a few times a game, but it just happened to hit at just the right angle, and the rest is history.

Best of luck, whatever you decide to do Nick.

I hope the Packers can find a job for him in the organization. Obviously I haven’t seen Collins’ medical file, but it really sounds like a bad idea for him to continue playing.

I really hope he can come back to play for any team again. You never want to see something like this take someone away from the game.

Wish him the best, whatever that may be. Easy for all of us to say hang it up, but we aren’t that good to be able to play in the first place.
