Colt Brennan for President [Merged]

I thought SOMEONE would be faster than me to get this started.

OK - some real comments:

Colt had a very good first game against the third/fourth string.

Collins looked, well.. bad. Same as he has in the TC. Seriously I wonder if we should look for an old guy out there with WCO experience if Collins poor play continues over the next 3-4 PS games.

A Stud name for a QB, and a stud performance!

Other studs...

#48 Horton - Great Instincts, great performance

Mason - Truly impressed

The Punter (Rookie - I forget his name)

#98 at DE

Fred Davis - Great Hands!

I'm bummed that I won't catch the rest of the preseason games, but I will stay tuned!

I have a few drinks in me right now, BUT I'M PUMPED!!!

More comments:

I wonder if Zorn is going to try to modify Colt's throwing motion or just leave it alone?

If Colt keeps having success this PS he will play against the second string. Then we will see how he does.

This kid is a sixth round pick and a real gamble. Had a very good first game. Let's see what he can do!

Colt showed a lot of poise for a rookie, but floating out there in the middle of the field will get him a lot of INTs. Good safeties salivate over passes like that. If he has to play some real game time, zorn should limit the playbook to plays that maximize hiding this flaw in his game.

Mods merge these threads. Just saw another out there. When I started this I saw none on the list.

I'm predicting we might see a swapping of QBs around once Jason gets his reps in.

I would definitely like to see a 2 games/2games scenario with Collins and Colt getting reps with the second teamers.

Maybe JC, then Colt, then Todd in the next game, followed by JC, Todd, Colt in the third game.

Yes, he's going to definetly have to fix that part of his game. I'm not a mechanical engineer but the OVERHEAD pass seems to have more zip in it. Just a hint.

the announcers said zorn was going to re make him from the feet up.. but footwork would come before any arm changes

While it's true Colt looked good vs third/fourth stringers, let's remember he was also playing with third/fourth stringers.

Agreed. He threw some great corner routes, but those ones over the middle are picks waiting to happen.

They did say that they were going to work on Colt's throwing from the feet up, which I think is for the best. Even if your arm is great, poor footwork can undo that in a heartbeat.

He did hit a lot of guys in perfect stride and with really good placement

Yeah, but his two best passes(the first TD pass and the seem to the TE) would be eaten up by a competent Safety. Brett Favre and Peyton can throw it into situations like that because they have the arm strength to pull it off, but you just can't float it like he was tonight against starting level players.

jaylen · #14 08-03-2008, 10:32 PM

pretty good game by Colt good poise and accuracy. Nothing to get carried away with.

he throws a very soft catchable ball.. i wouldnt expect to see a lot of tips
when he is in..

if he can compensate for his lack of arm strength by looking off the safety he might be effective even against better talent

one thing for certain, i think we are going to continue to see a lot of him all preseason
