Should We Give Brennan Playing Time Now?

[SmootSmack]

Changing the thread title. Seriously people, let's improve these thread titles. They should be a bit more descriptive. I saw "Colt Brennan" (the 3rd or 4th thread here with that exact title) and I thought maybe there was some breaking news, like he had been promoted to #2 QB for the remainder of the season.

Thread titles are definitely lacking in quality lately. We need to step it up.

Although Campbell hasn't made many mistakes (6 Ints), he also hasn't made any big plays. Yes, the O line sucks, but what would it hurt to give Colt a chance to get in there and get his feet wet? I mean, he may surprise us and be able to get rid of the ball quicker and not completely stare down his receivers! If he looks like crap we can move forward and not have to revisit this issue in the future. In my opinion, I think we should throw him in there and see what he can do, just a thought. I've been a huge JC backer and defender, but I say we give Colt a chance to see what he can do.

I wish they would throw Colt in there against Philly just to shut up all the Colt is the greatest fans and maybe we wouldn't have these threads anymore.

We need to consider giving Colt playing time without the automatic assumption that it means he'd be threatening Campbell's job. He's a young, developing QB who could play an important role years down the road if Campbell gets hurt (assuming JC will be the QB then, which we all know he won't). The season is over, why not give young 2nd and 3rd stringers a chance to play? At the very least it will give us a reason to watch.

Jason isn't the problem.
Collins is the No.2.
And from what i saw at training camp, Colt isn't ready.
And Zorn isn't planning to give up the last 2 games.

Jason is part of the problem, don't kid yourself. Still tends to give away who he is throwing to, locking on to one guy, is slow in decision making often, and has not shown me any leadership at the helm of the offense or any emotion. What this team needs is at least a small group of gamers that want to step it up and be leaders. JC is just an average QB collecting a paycheck. Too bad we can't clone Sammy Baugh, for if we could we would kick some ass!!!!!!!

Look, let's be real. Colt is a next season project. As for right now, I wouldn't mind seeing Collins get some playtime. Since I wanna see the Skins play spoiler against the Eagles, let JC start Sunday. But in the SF I'd like to see Collins have a go.

Yes, if nothing more then to light a fire under JC's butt and hope that he has a Tavaris Jackson like turnaround.

Only put Colt in if we have turned the page on Campbell, otherwise that would cause more problems then it would help. Not to mention with the weakness of our line currently putting in a New qb would do nothing but run the risk of shell shocking that player.

Well said, and on that note another Colt thread down the drain.

Put Vinny in behind center and see if we get a new line.
