What if Colt Brennan falls to the middle late rounds?

That Guy · 02-22-2008, 05:18 AM

mel probably has him in round 5. that profile talks of a lively arm, but it sure looked like a total noodle in the senior bowl (and all the practices). plus he's short, slow, and 186 lbs.

troy smith was a MUCH better option last year, and he only went in the 5th.

dmek25 · 02-22-2008, 07:09 AM

no way. the second coming of Tommy Chang. i know everyone out there just said "who"? product of a good system. and sheriff, tell us how you really feel

This guy is a run-and-shoot/shotgun-only QB... get him in a pro-style offense and he'll get killed. He lost his only game this year against real competition (I don't consider Boise State real). I heard (Sirius NFL radio) that many GMs (there are teams that have authentic GMs) don't think he's worthy of a roster spot.

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Brennan has to overcome poor reviews at combine

Why would you draft a QB who's ceiling is backup?

I watched the Georgia game and his oline got him killed in that game so take that into consideration. He had no time and got killed.

I guess that's why i brought it up. CB got some poor reviews and is going to slide down in the draft. Are his weaknesses things he can work on? Strength, release points, etc. He's obviously got some major talent. Would he be worth a late draft pick?

Alot of the time late picks don't work out. Some do, some don't. Last year i believe we drafted Sartz, Palmer in the late rounds. The year prior we got some talent in the late rounds. Why not take a gamble or consider someone who's as talented as CB? We took a gamble on other players. Sometimes late round picks are gambles.

Of course our scouting dept/personell has got to do some due diligence etc. But is it worth checking out, sure.

Colt is the Next Tom Brady. Plain and simple. Too small, too slow, too arrogant, blah, blah, blah. Whatever.

The guy has had achievements through adversity. I firmly believe that he is going to end up being the best QB in this years draft when it is all said and done. He makes plays and he has a heart. That is all you need.

That is my prediction and I am sticking to it. It is always the guy that you slap in the face and tell him that he cannot do it that comes back to proove you wrong. Right now Colt is taking a big bite of a shit sandwich. I have a feeling that in a few years his critics will be eating humble pie.

I do not have a man crush on him, but I do think that he displays the physical and mental toughness to get it done. Do not worry, I don't have mural or a shrine of him in my house or anything.

honestly, he did make up a lot of ground at the combine. his accuracy was back, his weight was way up. it just sucks he didn't decide to prepare better for the senior bowl, cause it really tanked him.

i do think he'd be a good value pick if he's there with our 5th pick, but future #2 QB isn't really worth spending much more on. I know LDS likes the guy though, so we might try our comp pick on him (essentially an early 4th rounder) without screwing up the rest of our draft.

Well, we will need a 3rd stringer, so taking Brennan and letting him learn the pro system as well as hit the weight room for a year or two is not such a bad thing.

From ESPN's Hashmark's:

Brennan: Life's not fair
February 22, 2008 12:14 PM

Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan just wrapped up what will likely be the longest interview session of the combine. Brennan spent most of his 45 minutes talking about his 2004 arrest for burglary and trespassing at the University of Colorado. In case you've never heard the story, a drunken Brennan walked into a female student's dorm room uninvited, and was later sentenced to seven days in jail and four years probation.

Brennan is also answering a lot of questions about his relative lack of size and strange arm motion. He said the time he spent salvaging his college career after the 2004 incident has prepared him for the scrutiny he's now facing.

"To here the criticism, it almost puts me at ease," he said. "What I went through was a great learning ground for what the NFL will be like. The situation is a positive now."

But if Brennan handles his team interviews like he handled the media today, I think he'll have some problems. He talked about turning his crime into a positive, but then he kept dwelling on the fact that he was treated unfairly after being convicted. Teams don't want to hear a bunch of whining.

Lets just waste another draft pick on a QB. Those two Bozo's have drafted a QB every year except 1. Lets not use our picks for some other team to benifit latter. SAGE Rosenfels.
