Re: Collins locks up the #2 job, Colt and Chase fighting for the #3
Here's my thoughts from Training Camp from the earlier thread:
20. Impressions of QBs:
-Daniel: As I mentioned earlier Daniel is no more than 5'10". He was a little wild in early drills but settled down. He has a sidearm release at times which definitely isn't good at his height. He does have good timing as his passes arrive right on time. He may stay around on the practice squad but because of his height I don't see him being an NFL QB....
- Brennan: for all the Cult of Colt who like to rave about his accuracy, he was the most inaccurate QB today. While running through the practice period of QBs throwing individual routes to the WRs with no D, here are the stats: JC 12-12 all but one pass was on the money, TC 10-10 some passes weak or behind but caught, CB 5-8 one catch was saved by the WR, CD 8-8 good timing. Also while throwing fades, CB overthrew at least three of these while JC only missed one.
That being said CB's footwork is better and it appears his throwing motion is less "backyard" and more of a proper delivery. His arm strength appears improved. Based on what I saw today I would give CB a shot at the #2, but definitely keep Collins on the roster.
Here's my thoughts after 2 preseason games on Colt & Chase. We have to keep Collins on the roster, he's a long time vet and (God forbid) if JC is injured we can count on Collins to manage the games and let the D and run game keep us in it.
Chase is more mobile than Colt. Chase is more accurate than Colt. Chase's timing is better than Colt's. Chase is a rookie, Colt is in his second year in the same system. Chase is about 4 inches shorter than Colt, but it hasn't seemed to affect his performance so far. I'm beginning to get over the height issue, if he continues his strong performances over the next two games he has more upside than Colt and we should make sure we don't lose him. Chase = Baby Brees??
