or

"Who Will Be the 2009 Preseason MVP?"

Why? Because only other teams can have a great rookie QB. But once again the Skins can't. The old double standard. I don't see the need for this new proposed thread(s) it's patronizing.

First, the new thread suggestion is just a joke. Secondly, I think Colt certainly showed potential (or as Dirtbag likes to put it...Upside!) in his limited time on the field with and against borderline at best NFL talent in many instances. Still, strong preseason stats just aren't enough to tell us the whole story and can often be misleading.

Case in point...Bruce Gradkowski and Cleo Lemon were the best QBs during the preseason of 2006

Look, I think Colt has a lot of potential and actually could be a pretty decent NFL QB just that it's too soon to say for sure

I knew you where joking Smoot. I felt like taking a shot at ya
I do think Colt will have the 2 position by season opener. I also still stand with my confidence in him as a backup/starter to JC. I realize this statement on Colt is partlly blind.
