Colt Brennan

I'm just laughing at all you Colt haters. One day soon he'll prove you wrong. The same people who protect JC are the ones who say not to bench Brunell for JC. So its amazing how it works. JC is only buying his time. Theres no extension yet nor will there be before they give more of a work load to Colt to see how he does.

Plenty of us who don't feel it's Colt time yet, or that his time may not ever come with the Redskins are not haters. I'm happy he's on our team. He's young. He showed this summer that he has talent, but still has room to improve. I just think that right now campbell gives us the better chance to win. Just like there was a time when Brunell gave us the best chance. This notion that we want some players to start over others must mean we hate those other players is asinine. Heck, look at my screen name. You'd think I want Smoot starting every game. Far from it, he's best suited as a nickel back, maybe even a dime back depending on the talent ahead of him. I don't want him starting, but I certainly don't hate him.

I don't wanna throw my boy in the fire but Im talking about the people on this site who see JC as the man with all the answers. I don't want my boy getting his nerves shot but when is somebody ready. Throwing a guy out there is a hit or miss. I don't believe a player shouldn't have to wait two or three seasons to prove himself. If you can play you can play look at first timers Flacco and Matt from the falcons two players who are getting the job done. Don't give me the line is superior crap also because thats the same line that got Harrington and Leftwich nearly killed last year.

Matt Ryan and Flacco were picked in the first 20 picks of the draft. Colt Brennan was a 6th rounder. He's a typical Hawaii / June Jones "system" guy, that played against inferior talent in college. Put him at QB and we'd be 2-11 rather than 7-6. Colt Brennan = Timmy Chang.

Okay because Delaware is a power house school or a great division..And Matt was a virtual nobody until his senior year who couldn't win his conference championship. The only game Colt got his ass kicked was Georgia which was number 1 ranked and the start of the season.

My point is, I will take the opinion of the NFL scouts and GMs who evaluate talent for a living who all had Ryan and Flacco as highly rated and had Brennan as a 6th rounder, many had Brennan as going undrafted.

I don't know what Brennan has done to have some folks on this board clamoring for him other than looking for an alternative to JC. Outside of a couple pre-season quarters against guys who didn't make NFL rosters, the guy's done nothing. He isn't physically impressive, doesn't have a strong arm and has a poor release. Pardon me for not annointing him the savior.

whats my point, my point is just because hes not a first round pick and from the WAC , doesnt mean brennan wont produce......cooley played for utah state which is in the WAC and was a 3rd round pick...

JC is falling back into his old habits. The 13 yard drop back into the pocket and then getting sacked reminds me of a couple of years ago. He's time is running out. Gibbs brought him here but he is not safe. None of them are.

I still think he will out last Zorn.

For the record, Flacco didn't "get it done" yesterday. 10-21 for 146 yards with a TD and a pick. The Ravens didn't win because of him

Also,

Ravens LT: Jared Gaither (2nd year, first full year as a starter)
Ravens LG: Ben Grubbs (2nd year starter)
Ravens C: Jason Brown (4th year, 3rd year starter)
Ravens RG: Chris Chester (3rd year, 2nd year starter)
Ravens RT: Who's starting there these days? Is it Anderson?

Falcons LT: Sam Baker (1st year, IR I think)
Falcons LG: Justin Blalock (2nd year)
Falcons C: Todd McClure (10th year)
Falcons RG: Harvey Dahl (2nd year, first year starter)
Falcons RT: Tyson Clabo (3rd year)

With the exception of the Falcons' center, we're talking about youth across the board for both lines. And guys getting the chance to develop together which is huge for an offensive line. I think the argument could be made that chemistry is just as, if not more, crucial than talent.

You don't have to hate Colt to think JC is the right QB for the Skins right NOW. In a few years who knows???

I think you are making quite a leap to say anyone is a Colt hater. He is a Redskin that was drafted in the 6th round. Why would anyone hate him? It was a 6th round pick so it is not like it is a pick anyone has high expectations for or thought it could have been used to draft a stud lineman.

IMO the reality is he is not ready and there is a good chance he will be a career backup if he is lucky. Not because I hate him, but it is just my opinion from watching him in the WAC. He played in a system that allowed him to put up great numbers. There have been many, many college QBs that have done this and most never make it to the NFL. He was no 'secret' and all the NFL teams passed on him. Could he prove them wrong? Sure anything is possible. Would I bet on it? No. And not because I hate him since it would be the best thing for my team if he was a franchise QB.
