Has Zorn already hand picked the QB for his offense?

Son Of Man · 03-21-2009, 02:51 PM

With all of the rumors circulating around Jay Cutler, and the ridiculous rumors surrounding a trade involving the Skins, it occured to me. Zorn may have already hand picked his future QB in the 6th round of the 2008 NFL draft. Two points:

1). A trade for Cutler isn't at all feasible. Forget Campbell (who still has potential), the prospect of trading Cooley or Landry (two of our dynasty's building blocks) in order to get a trade done is outlandish and will never happen.

2). More importantly. Zorn built his NFL reputation on the fact that he groomed a raw and unknown 6th round QB into a perennial pro-bowler. His first draft as head coach, he selected a QB in the 6th round who others considered raw, Colt Brennan.

BTW- Brennan just happens to hold numerous NCAA passing records and played in a pass happy offense. He posess excellent accuracy, a necessity in the WCO.

Who else thinks Brennan will subplant JC is we stumble next season?

I'm sure that Zorn has plans for him if the Campbell thing doesn't work out

No I don't want to give up Cooley and Landry, and I don't see Brennan taking over this year, even if Campbell got injured we'd plug in Collins. We did pay Collins good money to stay, and perform when needed.

I think "the one who shall not be named" will be the number two QB next season.

I think OP brings up a good point. If Campbell struggles early, will Zorn put his job security in JC? I could see "the one who shall not be named" starting mid season if JC struggles early.

CB thread #1 of 2009; can we get a poll on how many there will be? LOL

Everybody knows the only reason that Colt isn't starting is because the NFL deemed him too dangerous to play in regular season games. They know he will break every passing record ever created in his first month as a starter and they don't want to undo 100+ years of NFL History.

Funny!!!!!! Brennan just might be the future, but JC is the starter for '09 and if he doesn't really improve his ass is gone. Can't see why all these folks are still so sold on him. I can see thinking he is a decent QB, but you have guys thinking he is our franchise QB. I just don't see it in the guy. Regardless of the offensive schemes he has had to learn, his mechanics and poise are the problems. Schemes shouldn't affect those all that much. I just don't see JC just all of a sudden blooming into a perennial pro bowler after a medicore season last year and an average career thus far. Remember the QB is only as good as the team surrounding him also. The team as a whole is mediocre(especially offensively) so that in itself hurts JC. Haynesworth will help for sure, but will it help an otherwise inept offense that much?

I believe that Zorn is buying time with Campbell to groom Brennan as the new franchise QB for the Redskins. Let's face it, JC failed to lead the team down the last stretch of the season. This may be attributed to the new system, but it didn't phase him early on. He did well under the new system but once things heated up, he showed he faulters under pressure. I say give Colt a chance. He can't do much worse. He may even surprise everyone since the leagues other teams don't know his method of play. Brennan is also more competitive than Campbell it seems in his play.
