I know what you guys are saying but all I'm saying is as a backup if JC goes down it might not be a disaster. It could be a Flacco type thing. Maybe not. I just don't see why not give him the shot.

If JC went down, I would have no issue giving Colt a shot. But the question was are we "comfortable" with the backup situation. Brennan hasn't take a single snap in an NFL game, and I was pretty clear about my thoughts on Collins. So, no, I'm not comfortable with with backup situation right now. I don't think anyone is saying Colt would be a total disaster if he was forced into action. I also don't think he would put up numbers anywhere close to last year's preseason either.

Is this going to stop?
