wvtbred Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 This Colt stuff is ridiculous. Do you know how many backups look good in preseason? Most of them. It's meaningless. He also looked terrible in practice by several accounts. I like the kid too, but come on, get a grip people. and Jason is a morning glory, one that looks great in practice and can't play in the spotlight.

Hooper Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Until we see Colt against a real NFL defense -- not a bunch of scrubs -- we have no idea how he'll do. The bad news is by all accounts he struggled against our defense in practice. The good news is I bet he gets some preseason reps with the starters this time around. He'll get his shot, folks. And it will be up to him to make the most of it. He's actually in a great situation when you think about it. One year after being drafted in the sixth round, he's competing for the backup spot to a starting QB that no one has any really faith in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Really when Jason Campbell was handed the starting job he wasn't the best qb on the roster. He has never ever looked half way as good as Colt did in pre season EVER. I'm not a big believer in Campbell, but in his first preseason game he threw one of the prettiest bombs of his career for a touchdown. To some guy who didn't make the roster. Guarded by a guy who didn't make the Ravens. Just like Colt did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzhi Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 How can "The Anointed One" be a backup. Blasphemy. Problem lies with the other 52 players, coaches, water boy, cheerleaders, fans, refs, weather, GOD and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogghead Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I would love to see how many people are talking trash about the best QB we have had in years, this time next year!!!! If Joe Montana had the same line and recievers (whom seem to drop the ball only on critical downs) that we have, his numbers wouldnt be that much different from JC. We will see what he does this year. I will be the 1st to cut the leash if he doesnt produce since this is the best line and another year with the same playbook.

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 im not sure what campbell has done over his entire career to warrant being the starting QB at this point. if he hadnt been drafted in the 1st round, hadnt been traded up to get, and wasnt joe gibbs' "guy", i doubt anyone would have any faith in campbell at this point.

KCJDLJ Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I still don't know why so many of you are so hot for Colt Brennen. He really dosen't have much potential to be a starting QB. His "stellar" play last pre-season was anything but that. He made some lucky lame duck throws that were snagged out of the hands of back-up defenders by desperate receivers trying to make the team. He also dosen't seem all that bright. I think he'll have a real hard time learning the offense. There's a reason he wasn't drafted any earlier than he was. Please don't trot out the old Tom Brady argument. He is not Brady, never will be. Brady is an annomoly that happens once in a generation. I know most of you Colt fanatics are grasping at straws because you hate Campbell so much, but come on. Even if you don't think Campbell is "the one" please don't think Brennen is because he isn't.

It's not about Colt it's about anyone else getting a REAL chance other then Jason because I don't think looking at everything he has done that he is the answer.

Braxford Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Campbell could be the back up if Zorn demotes him. Zorn thinks he is the best QB on the roster so he is the starter, plus Campbell is a first round pick ( this probably has something to do with it, even though it shouldn't). I am all for open competition at all positions. When you have to compete to start that brings out the fire in all the players. When it comes to the QB I don't care who the Skins have Brennan, Collins, Campbell or Daniel. I just want the best QB to start that can help lead the team to victories.

Tydee Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 While I am not a fan of Campbell who is to say how Brennan will perform. I hate it when people assume that he will be the next big thing. He hasn't thrown a single pass in the NFL so who is to say he won't be worse than Campbell. It is all speculation at this point. I completely agree…also in regards to how they have determined who is the going to lead the offense I am pretty sure the coaching staff has seen enough of each of the QBs and I get the impression Brennan is not impressing them in practice, or they wouldn’t be pursing Sanchez or Cutler. Campbell has to instill more confidence in the coaching staff and especially Dynamic Duo in the FO. However, Brennan has a lot more to prove to them with the starting team, not a bunch of players trying to make the practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Your backup should have either previously performed competently in the NFL or have the potential to perform competently in the NFL in the future. JC does not fit either category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmill11 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I still don't know why so many of you are so hot for Colt Brennen. He really dosen't have much potential to be a starting QB. THANK YOU! Many people dont realize what type of competition Colt played while he was still at Hawaii. Teams that were consistently terrible year in and year out and when they finally played a team of actual strength (Georgia) they got destroyed. Plus, you put anyone behind that offensive line and they are just destined for trouble. More consistency is definately needed up front before they can start pointing fingers at JC.

Since you're so good at predicting the future, can you tell me what tomorrow's lottery numbers are? I appreciate it. If you think colt doesnt seem all that bright, you obviously have never seen campbell talk to the media. There was a reason he was drafted in the 6th, it was because of the offense he played in, and it certainly wasnt due to his lack of production. We really dont kno what we have in the kid until he plays a few games. For those of you who want to write him off without seeing him play, get a grip. Oh, and colt did play well last preseason. He hit a few guys in stride and scored some touchdowns, things campbell has a hard time doing, apparently. I dont believe colt is ready to play; I think he needs another year under zorn and some repetitions in practice/preseason. But its stupid to write him off already.

tiger187126 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 when colt beats collins we can start having this discussion. campbell is the best qb on the team. except chase daniels, but allowing him to take an NFL field would result in all sorts of anti-chase rules that we don't want to deal with quite yet.

paloffs Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 But make Brennan the starter, a player who so far has overachieved at every level he has come up against Yeah.

terpskins10 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Oh yeah? Well, in the unlikely event Brennan pulls a Booty, we'll see as I'm sure the other ES anti-Colt'sters will be all over it cuz pre-season will suddenly be meaningful. Thats just how it works - no surprise there.Again, anything can be spun to support ones' views. What exactly is competition? Lets say Brennan gets a shot at week 13, against the Saints and week 14, against the Raiders, and lights them up. The anti-Coltsters will predictably say "those defenses suck - anyone can look good against them". See how that works? Not so much anti-Colt as pro-Campbell. Also, I'd prefer you didn't assume I use the same backward logic as some of the others on here. If Brennan plays well against an NFL defense, I'm going to sit back and take notice. I'm not going to write it off because I don't dislike Brennan, I just think Campbell needs one more shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
