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

[SmootSmack]

I see Campbell and Colt, and I instantly think this is probably the best starter/back-up QB combo since Montana/Young

Seriously though. The highlight should definitely be Jason Campbell's performance. It was a brief performance but he really really looked good. Still, as LTF points out, don't sell short what Colt did out there (regardless of the talent surrounding him).

Most importantly, in both cases, they are getting their first full live game action since having major surgery and neither showed any side effects from it. That's the real positive.

He needs more preseason games before the hype starts to take over and people start filling him in as the #2 QB. He had a good game but he still in a learning phase of his development. I liked what I saw but I will need to see way more of it before I'm convinced he's even ready to be a backup.

Also being that we paid Collins as recently as this past offseason precludes us from demoting him to the #3 spot. Collins is our backup no matter how many TD's Brennan throws.

I wouldn't quite say that. If Brennan lit it up this preseason and looked like he definitely deserved to be the #2 I think the staff would give it to him. You have to remember a certain safety that we signed in the '06 offseason who absolutely sucked and was benched in the middle of the season, and demoted to like the lowest spot on the roster, even though he still had the richest contract ever signed by a safety. Just because we gave Collins a new contract doesn't mean he can't get demoted if Brennan steps up and takes the #2 spot away from him.

Zorn even said in today's press conference that Collins is still the #2 and the spot is not in danger of being overtaken.

I think that's a good idea to let the fans know from the start that he ahs no chance to ascend the depth chart because of the additional hype that would create in a town that loves its QB controversies.

I'm not debating whether Colt should be the #2 lol. I was just pointing out the inaccuracy of saying Collins has to be the #2 quarterback because he got a nice contract in the offseason.

Furthermore, I highly doubt Brennan ascends beyond the #3 spot this offseason. People are getting hyped up because he had a nice performance in his first game, when we all know what the reality of the situation was. Collins has experience over Brennan and I doubt he would play horribly enough to lose the #2 spot. Like many have pointed out Brennan has a long ways to go before he can even be called a good #2.

I agree. The best player wins the position right? Tell that to GB! Hahah....I think Collins is better as a system QB and he's really not mobile enough to effectively run this offense as well as he ran AS scheme.

Maybe he shoulda gone with Al.......
