Colt Brennan profile

You guys must be crazy, I don't care if he played against lesser competition, this kid sick. I was shocked that no one picked him up earlier...we should all be ecstatic we got him.

These numbers (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=145275) don't lie.

I would have preferred not to take this kid but since this pick has been made.... I'll take the wait and see approach with a developmental QB, if he doesn't pan out in camp he will either be a squad rat or down the road he goes.

But whats the deal with this kid with the off field and weight/surgery issues?

BRENNAN GETS DRAFTED

Despite a checkered off-field past, a poor showing in the Sugar Bowl, recent hip surgery, and a 30-plus-pound weight gain, Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan has been picked in the 2008 draft.

The Redskins landed Brennan with the 20th selection (No. 186 overall) in the sixth round.

Brennan was the tenth quarterback selected.

well, with a QB HC, it's not a bad pick, and as a 6th rounder, we didn't really waste it, since he'll be our #3, and he'll be better than tim hasslebeck or brunell. i was hoping booty would fall enough, but this is the best qb pick you'll find in the 6th round most years, and the staff said they'd be spending a pick on qb, so that's that.

again, good value and he'll actually make the team, which isn't guaranteed in rounds 4-7.

I know he had a great college career, but I'm not too fond of guys who come out of run 'n gun systems in college. He's gonna need to be studying hard for the next few years so he can learn this system and prove he's not a product of his college system.

He is a product of the college system he played in, but the Skins new Zorn-Coast offense will no doubt employ certain aspects of the run-n-shoot that propelled Brennan into the record books. For where the team got him in the draft - no harm whatsoever if he doesn't pan out.

i think this is a low risk high reward pick in the 6th round. he was projected as a first rounder last year, like andre woodson was this year (i preferred woodson). he is accurate and zorn is the perfect guy to mentor him. he will develop into a good backup for us

Im with you on this one, for where we got him its a hell of a deal.

I know he had a great college career, but I'm not too fond of guys who come out of run 'n gun systems in college. He's gonna need to be studying hard for the next few years so he can learn this system and prove he's not a product of his college system.

Well, most projected him to be a fit for a WCO. He ran it in high school and at Colorado before transferring to Hawaii

Run and Shoot QBs have inflated stats but normally their INTs are high as well. That's not the case for Brennan. Besides we'll probably have a UDRFA QB by the end of the day...

The problem with Brennan is that no one knows why the NFL scouts graded him down despite the college production. Until the reason becomes evident, I can't tell you what this guy is going to be.

If I was grading strictly off statistical profile, I'd say he's a historically great player. But the scouts had the same stats I do, and no team thought he was worthy of a 5th round pick. Obviously, theres critical stuff he can't do well, and we simply aren't privy to it.
