Im not sure how a recently injured 30 year old perennial backup who had by far his worst season is a great argument for winning now, anymore than a 1st Round draft choice that has played 4 stellar years in the SEC, with no sacks in the last 19 games, and an efficiency grade over 99.0? 

Seriously, which would you really prefer given the choice? Especially if LC will eventually be healthy...

Do I think Fant is a full-time starter, especially an upgrade over Collins? No.
But I don't think the Bengals are going to drop Collins like that, so they will just look for a stopgap filler until he's back healthy.
Fant should still give better immediate play this season than a rookie will.
