If you notice one thing about Colt Brennan, it is his accuracy. I remember watching a few games with Colt playing and the announcers would always mention how accurate he was. Also, if you don't remember Colt won in the QB challenge for accuracy against guys like Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco. I remember seeing a video on the redmond blog of colt throwing the ball at the field goal post and was hitting it everytime from a pretty long distance.
He obviously has the accuracy, confidence, and leadership skills. Just wonder if he is good at treading defenses and making quick decisions.
R&S QB's -the good ones anyways-are usually pretty good at reading defenses. They look at the defense pre and post snap and have to quickly decide which of the 5 defensive categories that it falls in--Cover 0,2,3 man off,Quarters-, this will tell the QB what the wr's are going to do. The R&S is not a free for all where each wr is running to get open like some like to think. Each play a wr can have anywhere from 1 to 3-4 different breaks on his assigned route depending on how the coverage changes,there are even secondary routes that the wrs will switch to when the QB pump fakes. imo all of this would be difficult with 2 wr's, let alone 4. Bottomline,Colt did well in this offense because he is very accurate,can read defenses very well and he can improvise. His 70% completions rate is impressive no matter who you play at any level. And ill say it again, he did in 3 yrs what Chang did in 5. Im pulling for the guy,id like to see him get a shot so we can see for sure what he can do. If he tanks then cut him and ill admit i was wrong but i think the kid can play.
