For the fourth consecutive season, Todd Collins will be the Redskins' backup quarterback, and Colt Brennan is in a battle with rookie Chase Daniel for the No. 3 job, Coach Jim Zorn said today after practice at Redskins Park.

I thought Zorn said this a couple weeks ago too, before preseason. In fact, I am positive he clearly said TC is number 2.

Only the media (national especially) mentioned this was an open battle. It never was.

Nope....Zorn said it was a competition for the #2 spot, Colt just played his way out of it. Colt had a great preseason last year, but he really has that "gunslinger" mentality, and the interceptions into double coverage gets old fast.

EDIT:washingtonpost.com

I stand corrected he said "entering camp Collins was his backup", but Zorn left open the possibility someone else could win the job.

Thanks, I guess it is a middle ground between what we said. It was not open but he hinted if TC sucked and CB wowed then a possibility of change.

I guess my point was it was never open as the media made it seem to be. It is more of a media spun/created story of this "great" qb competition.

Yeah I agree, I dont think Colt ever really had a chance. Not that TC is a "world-beater", but both Colt and Chase have a long way to go before being a starting caliber QB in the NFL. Man I pray that JC can make it through another season healthy.

The last one was double coverage. the first was the wr ran about a 10yd comeback route and the db was over him and as the wr cut back inside his head was down and he just never saw the ball as the db jumped in front of him.

Not trying to nit pick but does anyone else find it weird that everyone calls him Chase Daniels instead of Chase Daniel?

It's getting right up there with Shawn Taylor, Sean Springs, Chad Rinedhardt, Carlos Rodgers, Greg Blanche, and Darryl Green

That is the worst. ST you gotta know, but if you don't know one of our best defenders and HOFers ever then that is just sad
