I Was impressed!!!

CB most definitely contributed to the loss. When he threw that INT I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. That was an extremely bad decision and it cost the team. That being said I thought he did a great job of coming back with the TD to Mitchell. Considering that any momentum we had going completely died on that play, I was pretty impressed with the way he regrouped and didn't lay down. The throw to Mitchell couldn't have been thrown any better if Brady had thrown it. Mitchell made and adjustment on that play because the defense was busted and took off toward the goal-line. Colt saw it and threw a perfect pass. Given the chance I think he'll learn and get better. Of course that's JMO.

I respectfully (potentially) disagree. In his postgame comments Colt said that he should have led the receiver more on his pick, as if the problem was that he needs to be more Superman. However, the lesson to be learned was that he never should have thrown that ball to begin with. He has made other comments in which he seems to miss the point of what is going on around him.

Some folks are too arrogant to ever learn. Look at Favre - he still sometimes makes stupid rookie throws. I hope that I am wrong about Colt but he makes few comments which lead me to believe that he has the humility to learn.

You could be right Lotus. I guess there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Sometimes these type of things can help one see the difference, hopefully it will with Colt. I would give him more time myself. He really hasn't played alot since he's been here. He doesn't play scared (but he does need to be more cautious) and he is pretty accurate. I'm just not ready to give up on him. I think Zorn can get through to him, Hassleback has seemed pretty arrogant at times too.

You are correct. And I'm not giving up on him, either. I'm "concerned," though.

confidence: I can get the job done well but I'd like to do even better
arrogance: I can get the job done well so get out of my face with your criticism

Understandably. That was a very, very bad decision to throw that ball that went for the INT. He just needs to understand that instead of throwing it better, sometimes it's better to throw it away or not throw it at all. If he doesn't get to that point, he'll never make it as a pro QB.
