Redskins reach terms with 6th-round pick Brennan - USATODAY.com

Brennan called it a relief, adding "I'm glad I don't have to worry about selling knockoff jerseys and my autograph anymore. People on message boards were starting to catch on. And to be honest, I was a bit embarrassed by the whole thing."

I can't wait for his first completion of the preseason, or for a nice pass in camp before the floodgates open up with people screaming for him to be the starter. You just know it's going to happen.

That's the only thing that upsets me about that pick. I loved to watch him play at Hawaii, but he's at least two years from even considering as a potential starter in this league and, imo, a lot will have to go wrong with Jason Campbell in those 2 years.

Sounds like he's bulked up a bit which is good:

The former Hawaii quarterback had minor hip surgery to repair the labrum on April 8. Though some thought he might have to start camp on the physically unable to perform list, Brennan made a quick recovery. Through weight lifting, he is 220 pounds.

You just beat me to the punch on this one. Up about 15 pounds since the draft. I just hope his surgically repaired hip is strong enough to carry the extra weight. I guess it won't be a problem if the extra bulk is from lifting.

Yeah! That, or the first time he opens up behind center, and Blache's D does a total number on his psyche, and gets him! He'll learn so much more!

how much and how long was he signed for?there is no way he'll play any this season unless it's an emergency situation!

Pretty standard contract for a rookie 6th rounder, 4 years $1.8 million or so.

That pass will make him 1/9 passing, so I won't be screaming.

If he's 1-9 against training camp 3rd teamers, which is quite frankly no tougher than what he faced in Hawaii, we should cut his ass on the spot.

One of Tony Romo's early career highlights was in 2004, when (as the 3rd string QB) he rushed for the winning TD with 6 seconds left in an exhibition contest against the Oakland Raiders.

We might as well start the parallel path for Colt Brennan. Here's the headline:

Colt Beats Colts...

He'll probably be a pre-season star every year because he's playing against future baggage handlers.. That won't stop the logically challenged from anointing him the next great thing 'if he only gets a chance!'

I have tons of respect for the Redskins

But I have really ZERO respect for QB's from the WAC. Brennan should be PAYING Dan Snyder for the chance to play in the NFL, and not the reverse.

Thank you for your kokua.
