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

He seems fearless and confident and if he has learned not to be careless he could be very productive. Plus.... we've already got him. We don't have to spend our first pick to get him and we can can use that pick to finally address the o-line and get someone the caliber of Russell Okung. I would really like to see the guys we choose at skill positions developed and given a chance instead of constantly trying to upgrade with another draft pick at the expensive of drafting our biggest weakness. We don't seem to mind using #1's for safetys and such but we don't seem to want to "waste" a #1 on a LT when we can get someone who's an upgrade later on. It doesn't take much to upgrade the line we have. Maybe if we went after the best o-linemen we could get we could actually hit our mark of having a good solid o-line.

Excellent post.

Please take what I say w/ a huge grain of salt because I just don't watch college ball consistently, but I see Brennan as a far better passer than Bradford. The video on Bradford shows a kid who struggles to consistently fire a tight-spiraled strike. He passes are wobbly lobs a good share of the time! Does 15 lbs of extra muscle and a healthier shoulder fix it?

Brennan, even as a pretty scrawny college QB, throws tight-spiraled strikes w/ at least some heat on them. Undoubtedly he's put on some size and strength over the last couple years. And he's a hell of the competitor. IMHO it would be stupid to let him go elsewhere IF he's healthy and still hungry to succeed.
