Colt Brennan vs Rookie class

Colt is nothing but Zorn's pet project and will be a back up at best IMO. If Shanahan is going to go with an inexperience QB, he might as well pick up a QB at #4. I'm sure Shanahan will give Colt a look, but I don't think he would gamble starting a late round QB he had no hand in developing.

I think you will have your answers in late April 2010.

Mike Shanahan will have had the time to watch Colt Brennan on film by then and will have talked to Brennan and will have seen Brennan in his rehabbing mode. If after all of that, Shanahan takes a QB at #4 - - I don't care which one he takes - - or if he trades that #4 pick and uses his first pick in the draft on a QB no matter where it is, then he will have concluded that Colt Brennan is not going to be his QB here in Washington.

Personally, I think Colt Brennan is the latter-day incarnation of Babe Laufenberg. But I am willing to defer to Messr. Shanahan on this one...

this is spot on. if we draft a young gun come april, the cult will finally have to lay down their torches and pitchforks. if shanny thinks colt is worth a damn, he will get his shot.

I'm sure MS has watched some film on CB and we'll find out soon enough what he thinks of him. My guess... CB isn't on the roster in 2010. Sorry PJ5 fans.

YES!!!! Finally a thread that is talking about this! I'm a huge Colt Fan. Ive posted many times before he has that IT factor. He takes chances. And in order to be successful. You hafta DARE to be great. He trusts his arm, thinks he can make any throw. He has ridiculous accuracy. and moves the pocket very well. John Madden even said, hes mobile in the pocket and moves the pocket. Those are two HUGE qualities that work really well in Shanahan's offense. And with us workin on building a run 1st offense it wont put too much pressure on him. The question wit Brennan coming outta college was that he came from a spread offense. Well he has been practicing under center for the last two years. He needs an opportunity to show what he can do. This would solve SO many other issues. take an OT (or Berry) at #4. OT in 2nd round, then fill rest of draft wit NT, LB, RB! AHHHHHHHHHH! Shanahan read this THREAD! lol

i dont know how anyone can really have a firm idea of what we have in colt yet. i havent seen nearly enough of him to make a call heads or tails (and this should be laid at the coaching staff's feet - for 2 years now we dont know what we have in a player yet? really?)

i would like to see him start a pre-season game. for teams with qb situation like ours, whats the point in starting a JC or garrard or edwards or smith all 4 preseason games . . .its not like 1 half of PS football is going to be that missing one half that effected the starters ability to gel.

I could see Colt, if he were to be cut here, in Arizona, he reminds me a little bit of Kurt Warner, thats why I could see that happening. But lets give him a shot here with the first teamers before we throw him away/give up on him so soon.

I would give Colt Brennan a chance over Jason Campbell . Jason Campbell is a loser but if we choose to trade back or pick up an LT with our 4th pick than I would give Brennan a chance. Can't let go off a guy without giving him a chance.

Campbell is a "loser" based on what? If we had Colt or Collins in his place last season, they'd be in wheelchairs right now and we'd be picking #1 or #2 after our one-win season, only beating the Rams. Campbell did a lot with nothing to work with...no line and no running game. He's the least of our problems.

I do agree about giving him a chance in camp, which means...lose Collins.

The Culters are always good for a laugh.

Yep.


Since he was drafted, I've called him our "backup of the future". I still think that could be his long-term role for us (Jim Sorgi role) but won't start, or at least do much as a starter if it somehow happens.
