^^^ yeah firstdown my thoughts exactly about JC. I am just surprised it seems he still has the same bad mechanics since we drafted him. Holding the ball low, takes a big wind up to throw it, doesnt seem to have the mental IQ to read and pick apart defenses. JC does have alot of positives aswell but he might be years away from "it" clicking in his head. Ive said this before and noone has bit on it yet but . . if zorn doesnt feel confident with JC after this year, does he get to handpick his own qb next offseason giving campbell 1 more year to show us he is elite while zorns qb develops? in this league i dont think you can be complacent with average at qb.
go skins!
I think even if in two years or even next year he wanted to go with his own QB, let's say Colt, it's in the best interests of everyone that he develop Campbell to the fullest extent. If not for us, then at least to drive his value up for another team.
I was super impressed with Fincher. He's the one person who actually looked like they were trying to make the team.
One positive is that the run defense looked pretty good in general.
Definate bright spot! He was all over the ball all night. Obviously, that dude wants a job

The announcers last night sure made it sound like Colt is Zorn's handpicked guy.

I think the team is committed to JC for this year and next at the least, which conveniently enough will take him to the end of his rookie contract. If he's not the answer at the end of 2009 both sides move on and you've got Colt entering year 3 and hopefully ready to compete for the job. If JC is the answer they re-sign him and life is good.

They certainly did.. We should all prepare for Colt Brennan mania, because it's only a matter of time....

I think starting the season on PUP is likely for Kelly, unless his knee is seriously f'd up. Hopefully he just needs some rest and more rehab.
This is an excellent observation.
This would mean he wouldn't play until week 6..and that isn't gunna happen anyways.
The way I see it, here is the depth chart for WR in terms of reliablity right now:
Moss
ARE
Thrash
McMullen
Mann
Devin Thomas
Malcolm Kelly
Obviously they are not going to carry 7 wideouts, nor are they going to cut our 2 draft picks, nor, in my opinon, can they risk only the top 3 vets and the rookies since they either suck or are injured.
So, if they dont put Kelly on the PUP list, they will likely keep McMullen as insurance as he has some experience and has shown 3rd down receiver capability....the difficult point is Mann is right there with him.
So putting Kelly on the PUP gives the skins the opportunity to keep both McMullen and Mann on the roster, then when he comes back they can keep the best of the 2.
If McMullen is better, they can drop Mann to the practice squad, otherwise they cut McMullen (I dont think he is eligible for PS)
To me....that sounds like a "plan"....perhaps the same one Zorn was referring to....
Good observation Matty

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.
