Q.B. competition?

I don't like Collins, I love Brennan I like Campbell in a different system I like leftwitch in a different system..so what am I saying, cut collins and start Brennan

cant do that.cambell will start no matter what.

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.

IMO, this is a typical Redskins move. BL had a few good games (especially vs Wash) last year and is now available so the Skins want him. Does he fit with what the Skins are trying to do? Doesnt matter, he's "hot" and available so the Skins want him. In some ways its almost like the Skins dont trust themselves to evaluate young talent. They constantly pick older guys to stick into spots instead of trusting that they properly evaluated a player they drafted knowing that he could step in when called upon.

So, on the one hand they are right to look at all ways to improve their team (which I agree with, by the way) but on the other hand they don't bother to just trust their own drafted players?

This is why I got divorced. Some people get out of bed in the morning just looking for a reason to be offended. Do the Redskins do anything well in your opinion Irish?

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.

I guess it's ok to upgrade your starter, but for some reason not the backup? LOL :doh:

Last year's Cowboys is a fine example of having a bad backup QB.
Of course, it'd be better for us if they had kept Brad Johnson.

Maybe the coaching staff doesn't think Collins provides enough competition to Colt and JC, so they want someone in to provide more competition for the QB position.

IF Leftwich is just here as the backup, it is just to get a younger guy in there. IF JC goes down or for some reason flops, we are screwed.
