Booty is overrated??? I'm not so sure about that. You don't start at USC for two years if your not good. If anything Colt Brennan is waaaaaaay overrated. Name me one QB that has come out of college running a run and shoot offense that has made it in the pros? What ever happened to Timmy Chang? Those guys just never seem to be comfortable getting under center and adjusting to the NFL game. He looked terrible at the All Star games and he looked even worse against Georgia. I would've taken Andre Woodson.

I didn't say he was a piece of poo.

BTW- the same argument was made for Chris Wienke. "You don't start at FSU if you're no good". Obviously a lot of GMs in this league agree with me that Booty is overrated.

Even if it doesn't work out, so what, it only cost us a 6th pick. We took Palmer not too long ago and he's already gone. This won't hurt us at all, but I think it has the potential to be a good pick in the future. Brennan is better than you think he is.

Well with Collins being 36 or 37 I was hoping that we'd bring someone in that could take over the #2 in a year or two. Booty ran a real pro offense and ran it pretty damn well everytime I saw him play. Brennan ran a gimmick offense that doesn't work against legit teams. See Georgia. But I hear what your saying. No real risk here. I just wish we'd have taken a guy that has starting potential a few years down the road.
