If he does well, they will extend him, if not, they still might extend him, but not start him in 2010 or 2011. I still say try to manuever for a deal to get McCoy or Bramford in 2010.

If JC isn't our QB of the future then CB is. Unless another in-his-prime probowl QB comes on the market(which happens, what, every 20 years?)

You can't say that CB is the QB of the future if JC fails, what can you base that on? I mean he might get a start or season, but it's not like we won't bring in some vet or possibly draft one

I can because I read this board and a certain someone who has a little bit of insider info has stated that many in the org have their collective panties in a wad for CB. I am not saying he SHOULD, I am saying right now he is their comfortable fallback if JC doesn't throw down this year like everyone expects and wants him to.

We shall see this preseason. I think everyone needs to chill out because JC is in a contract year. If he is going to be great, we will see it this season or he will be gone. He knows this, we know this, and CB has this preseason and next preseason to prove to us that he is ready to take the reigns if JC falters. If JC is not our guy, CB will have ample opportunity to beat out whoever we draft or sign to replace JC.

Brennan has the tools for sure, but so does JC. Thing is by 2010 you need a new QB anyway to replace Collins and possibly JC. Going for McCoy or Bramford wouldn't be a bad plan if Brennan doesn't pan out or gets hurt, etc. Either way we are going to need a new QB in the fold soon. Might as well have another gunslinger, one from a bigtime college program to boot!!!!
