Re: Colt Brennan
 

Quite honestly, I can't imagine Colt Brennan starting here, or anywhere else in this league. The offense he ran in college was like a backyard football game, and I think a big reason he put up such great numbers was because of the teams they played. The Sugar Bowl is a great showcase of what Hawaii did against real competition. Even when Brennan didn't have a defender in his face he was still making poor decisions.
I can assure you though, if Campbell isn't the answer, neither is Brennan.

[quote=Angry;449547]Are you seriously faulting a guy for his teams performance against a superior SEC team. There was only 1 other playmaker on that offensive unit. Everyone else was just a body lining up against the superior recruiting of Georgia. Oh you're right, I can see how that is Colt Brennan's fault.[/quote]

I agree, and no I'm not a Georgia fan (or a Tech fan for that matter), far from it actually but if you watched the game Brennen had almost no time to throw. I will admit Brennen made some bad plays when he didn't have pressure, but for the most part there was a Georgia defender in his face almost everytime he dropped back to pass, and despite that he was able to get the ball off. Of course in the end he was sacked 8 times, and personally a lot of those sacks looked like he was reached in less then 3 seconds, not necessarily sacked, but close enough to prevent him from setting his feet. If you don't believe me then see for yourself.

Also, far be it for Synder to pass up a money making opportunity, even if it is a relatively small one.

Re: Colt Brennan
 

Best case scenario for Colt:

Makes team as #3 this year. After 2 more seasons Collins retires and he becomes #2 and re-signs a 4 yr contract. Two more years of spot duty and sensational preseason games he is his generations Rob Johnson. Skins let him go for a #2 pick and he takes over another team after Zorn, Collins, and other veterans and coaches have gotten him as ready as possible.

Sounds good to me.

lol, sure are a whole lot of prescient people in this thread. somebody please tell me the lottery numbers! who will win the presidential election? will i ever find TRUE LOVE???

Re: Colt Brennan
 

i think maybe he should make the final roster before we start calling him the next montana... just maybe...

Re: Colt Brennan
 

On a postive note, the front office got this guy in the 6th round & they have an opening for the #3 qb spot, nothing more. It's an ideal scenario to determine whether or not he has enough upside to keep around & groom to be the #2 qb in 2010.

If he does nothing more than simply make the team, you still have to look at this as another example of how important it is to keep draft picks & have the flexibility to take some inexpensive chances on players in the late rounds.

Re: Colt Brennan
 

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum but i am one of Colt's biggest fans and felt the need to defend him.

Yes, he played at Hawaii in a weak conference in a very pass-heavy offense. And yes, this gave him an opportunity to throw more touchdown passes than other QBs who throw the ball less, but look at his other stats. He had about a 70% completion percentage over his career and his efficiency ratings were off the charts. These are stats that can't be inflated by the number of passes he threw and you have to be incredibly accurate to attain those stats, no matter who you're playing.

Also, people are quick to forget Hawaii's games against teams like Wisconsin, USC, Arizona State, Alabama, Purdue and Oregon State. His numbers were very impressive in those games and very similar to the ones he put up against WAC teams.

Clearly I'm biased (you could probably even call it a man crush...) but I strongly believe that Jim Zorn is the guy who can develop Colt into a big-time player. He is just thankful to have a shot in the NFL and is going to work his ass off for you guys.

I think they're planning on letting him make the roster no matter what. You don't charge $75 for a rookie replica jersey in your team shop if you're not sure that the guy will make the team. Plus with all the hoopla surrounding Brennan as well Cerrato going on record during the draft to talk about how much they like him, I doubt that the front office releases him short of Colt commiting a double homicide.

Great post.
As I have stated in several posts, I have watched Colt, this kid has something special. I do not agree he's NFL ready, but how many qb's are out of college? I thought Hasslebeck was a terrible qb at BC, and thought no way he'd be a good qb. The fact that he is, means Zorn did one hell of a job. I have faith that if anyone will turn this kid into an NFL product, it will be Zorn.
I am looking for a Brennan authentic, or at least a replithentic...does anyone know where I could get one? (no replica's for me)

Thanks for the warm welcome. And I totally agree on the Zorn thing. As far as the jersey goes, are the customizable ones at nflshop.com what you're looking for?

Those numbers are screened on though right? I am looking for sewn on name and numbers.
