I dont know how many teams are banging at BLs door but of all the available back-ups my bet is he's the most in demand. I agree BL would be better than TC long term. My point was why bring in BL in the first place? Let Colt be the backup. They drafted him, why not trust your own analysis.

I don't think Colt is quite ready to be the #2. Who would you trust more if JC went down, a proven veteran or a green 2nd year guy? Banking on the latter is a pretty big gamble.

It is a gamble but who knows what he can do until he gets a chance to do. Who thought TC was going to rip off 5 wins and lead the team storming into the playoffs (and if you tell me anybody besides Al Saunders you are lying). TC showed nothing up to the point when he got into the game. I hate to keep highlighting the Steelers but they rode an even greener rookie QB deep into the playoffs. It can happen but like you said its a gamble. I'd just like to see the Skins rely more on their analysis than that of others.

I think Skins fans are so used to draft picks not working out that they think it takes every draft pick 3 or 4 years to develop into a player that can just get into the game let alone be an impact player.

There were no plans for moving Brennan to the #2 this year. So regardless if it's Leftwich or Collins, this really doesn't have anything to do with Colt.
