There is no way to tell if a qb will be average or not. Top three qbs in the league right now, 1 was the #1 overall pick, 1 was a 6th rounder, the other wasn't drafted at all. There is no magic formula, only gut feelings, educated guesses, and taking a chance and believing in your guy. If you don't believe in Jason Campbell, that's your choice. But can we at least let the season play out before we bury Campbell please?

I think Campbell deserves another year...so meaning this upcoming season. However, for those of you out there that are crazy about Colt, whenever you start with a new QB ur in rebuilding mode. And after this year, if JC doesn't work out, then we are going to need to rebuild, since a number of veteran players will prob be done after this year (i.e. Jensen, Washington, etc., etc.)

Did Kelly start training camp on the active roster, I don't remember. Also, Mann is not eligible for the PS.

why is Mann not eligible?
Hes in his first year.
I think it is McMullen that is not eligible

Mann was drafted by the Bengals in 2004, and he's already served two seasons on practice squads.

I must admit I'm starting to come around on Colt. I didn't think he could play on this level and so far he has proved me worng.

Colt has a ton of confidence.... unlike JC who I think really is fighting to find it. Which is not totally his fault considering the different systems he's had to learn.

I thought that Campbell's passes in this game all were good decisions.
1st Pass: Thomas should have caught the ball or pass interference should have been called.
2nd Pass: Ball to Thrash, while a little underthrown was put in a place where only Thrash could catch it. Could have been caught.
3rd Pass: Cooley dropped it
4th Pass: Short three yard pass to Mann. With the rush coming he got the ball out quickly which is his main problem.

On the 1st pass Thomas wasnt the primary receiver, Cooley was.

JC never seems to hit players in stride. The ball is high, low, or behind but never in stride.

..and always way too strong.. he doesn't need to kill them with it, just get it to them. No finesse.

Colt Brennan has nothing to lose. He knows he's got the 3rd string all sewn up, so he's out there slinging the ball against 3rd stringer and guys who won't have a job come Monday.

When Colt can repeatedly lead a charge downfield and score against a first string defense then I'll get excited about him.

Ditto. I do think he'll be a starter in this league eventually, I just don't know if it will be for the B & G.

^^ glad u brought that up b/c it sure did look like cooley was his 1st option but JC didnt want to pull the trigger b/c there were 2 guys around him but then he goes to thomas who had a guy all over him and tries to squeeze a real rocket in there . . .

i think JC will be good this year, i hope he is great!

go skins!

I missed most of the game (at HS football game, got it DVR'd though), but when Colt was in the last few minutes, they showed a replay of one of his passes and Madden broke down his awful mechanics. Also, in an interview I saw with Zorn a couple of weeks ago he mentioned that if Colt couldn't make the changes Zorn needed he wouldn't be able to "make a large percentage of NFL throws". I don't think Zorn will have any problem to cut Colt if he doesn't show improvement going into next season.

I can't wait until the season starts and we don't have to listen to the Colt-hoopla for a while. I'm sick of it too.

Pre season is over with. Thank god. Enough of this JC bashing when the guy throws 4 freakin passes. The real games start now so let's start judging the guy off a full game with a game plan.
