Re: Give Colt Brennan a shot with the 1st team offense in 2010

I for one think that Brennan will at least get a chance to prove himself one way or the other this year. I hope that Shanahan lets him play the game the way he has always played it. In this I mean don't worry about Brennan's mechanics. If he goes out in preseason and in practice and produces better than the others he is in. If not he's out. I think Brennan has more natural football instinct than Campbell. As far as side arm passers their have been some great ones. It may present problems sometimes with the taller lines but it's also good on the run.Which if we don't go with line early in the draft they will be during a lot of running. Brennan's release probably has Campbell's beat by about 10 secs (joke). Zorn was a likable interview guy period. He bought up (1) (decent) quarterback in his time. I thought he was far from the end all be all of quarterback knowledge. I wish he had of left Brennan alone. "Run these plays. Execute them the way you feel more comfortable". Again if you can't produce your out. Who knows what Brennan will do but he does have talent and moxie. He deserves a real (chance).
I love Campbell as a person. A real old school stand up type guy. Never runs his mouth. First one in last one out of practices. Just goes in to do his job no matter what happens. I can see why Gibbs drafted him. I was hoping so much he would do well. He is just not a great quarterback. And yes I have heard all the excuses for this. I think only having a "Hogg" type line or moving him to another team will ever determine if he's a decent quarterback. Does not have very good accuracy. Slow delivery. Questionable instincts. I had always heard he had a strong arm but I always saw him under throwing the long passes. Mark Rypien had accuracy problems at first but at least he overthrew the receivers by twenty yards. Less chance of interception. I guess I cant blame him too much on this but he was like a deer in head lights every time he dropped back. I wish him well but I still don't think he is a good long term answer.

Grossman has more upside than Collins. He is a gunslinger of sorts. Just not as talented as a Favre or Romo. He has upside because he can can put up some numbers (positive and negative). He comes from the Bears who's offensive schemes over the years have made all of their quarterbacks look bad. He might be a good stop gap. Collins was a system quarteback at best.
