Re: OT: Omg! Wtf! Lol! Colt Brennan Is So 1337

Colt played well but consider a couple of things. He was playing against scrubs, he had WRs running wide freaking open. That's not going to happen against first stringers. But I did like his accuracy, when he saw a guy he hit him.

Secondly, he locks on to his WRs big time. That's to be expected from a young QB but there's no way he's ready to start or even be the #2. Collins to me appeared to be very hesitant in his decision making, but I think once he gets up to speed in the offense he's going to be fine.

No kidding -- big time. He would have thrown some picks, if his primary target wasn't open all night. There was at least one play where he threw to his primary target (without checking others), and it was almost intercepted.

I think he looked good, but this kid would get eaten alive against a real NFL defense. There's no way I'd make him our #2. Collins proved last year that he can manage a game, against a real defense, and during games that really matter. Colt hasn't done squat yet.

I agree completely. Plus, what you want from your #2 is someone who can come in and MANAGE a game, and we already know Collins is able to do that perfectly. If Colt played like he did last night against starters, as everyone's already said, he would have thrown at least one guaranteed interception. That's not what you want from your #2; Collins is still the smart choice.

Got to cut Collins some slack for last night. The OL didn't give him the protection to see what he could do. I'm not ready to bump Brennan up
the depth chart. Will wait till he plays against a better D. Think the kid
has a future with Zorn.

But he did'nt have the starting WR's or O-Line so it all evens out.
Colt + Starting WR's and O-line = The same result against their starting Defense

I still would wait before bumping him up to # 2.

Yo, Mattyk72...I don't think Jim Zorn is thinking that Brennan is locking in on his WR's big time. Zorn said after the game:

"More than his throws, what I was pleased with is how he was looking to the right guy when he was backpedaling," said Zorn, a former NFL quarterback. "He knew the plays, knew the routes. He should feel very good about his performance."

Regarding the WR's being wide open, it was that way the whole game. I do think Brennan threaded a couple of passes in there, against pretty tight coverage.

I've seen Brennan play live a dozen times or so and, at least I think, it is difficult to conclude that he locks on receivers. I do think he goes through progressions pretty quickly. He just doesn't turn his head to it is obvious to everybody. That's my view anyway.

I respect your view, too.

I just want to score points and win. Hail to the Redskins!

it don't get why i keep hearing people say this stuff. colt brennan is a 6th round pick. by definition, a scrub. the receivers he was playing with, were scrubs. the linement protecting him were primarily scrubs. what you'd like to see your scrub do is dominate with and against his fellow scrubs with superior scrubiness. and that's what our scrub did.

scrub scrub scrub.

People are trying to keep in perspective that he was playing against defenders who will probably not be on a team come opening day. Yes he looked good against them and I hope he looks good against 1st and 2nd stringers but just don't get over hiped on he guy just yet.

So... our scrub played well against their scrubs.

Again, nothing to get too excited about.

But deep down, it means a little something to know that our scrubs cumped their scrubs.

Makes me all tingly where it counts.

exactly. well, not so sure i'm tingly. but you see what i'm saying. i'm far from being on the "colt brennan is the 2nd coming of christ" bandwagon, but, like marshall faulk said last night, "he can only play with the cards he's dealt" and on that night, he played them well. nothing more. nothing less.
