Colt Brennan profile

When I watched his highlight tape on SI.com, one thing I noticed was the fact that he really does have a quick release, not just in the throw itself but in the mechanics. In watching a lot of QB's I've noticed that they always seem to do that pat with the ball right before they throw it, and in turn it can cost the QB a second or two in delievering the football, which we all know is critical time at the NFL level. In some cases it can also tip off the safety and lead to a pick. Colt on the other hand has a case of see window hit window, which should help him at the NFL level.

The sidearm release worries me a little though, but hopefully Z-Man can do with Brennan what the Texans failed to do with another sidearm QB in Carr.

His release I believe will have to be corrected to many balls will be batted down in the NFL if he doesn't.

Nobody is bashing the pick because we didn't move into the second round to pick him, this is a very low risk, extremely high reward pick great job getting a [what I believe] top flight NFL punter, and a backup QB with future starter potential that late in the draft!

Yep, his release isn't exactly ideal for the NFL. It's far too low to make it over most Dlinemen. If you watch Colt, he backs up right before he throws a lot to give him the extra room.

I certainly don't hate the pick. He'll have a small contract and time to learn from a vet and one young but experienced QB. Personally, I would have rather gone with Andre Woodson who was still on the board, but the Colt pick is far from terrible. When you start getting into those late rounds you're looking for talent that needs a few tweaks -- colt falls into that realm.

No one had an uglier release than perhaps my favorite QB of all time...Bernie Kosar.

I'm just happy that the Skins picked a QB who has success in his college career rather than one who has decent measureables, but had a less than stellar career.

"Colt" is a cool name for a QB. Sportscenter stated his stlye will fit in nice with thw WC offense. Sounds good!

Did anyone else catch Brian Baldinger's take on Brennan last night on NFLN? This didn't make a ton of sense to me but whatever. He basically said with JC coming off an injury, he wouldn't be surprised if at some point this year JC goes down again and Brennan takes over and "never looks back".

lol, i swear the most inane things get said about both these guys. its hard for me to root for brennan. that's essentially rooting against jc. but i'd really like to see them both put the lid on their naysayers.

I don't really care for Baldinger. That's about the dumbest thing i've heard recently. It's funny how people in the media talk w/out any knowledge of a specific situation. For example, TODD COLLINS, you know that guy that led us to the playoffs last year, will be the back up.

I don't think Brennan is NFL ready quite yet so I don't see him taking over at any point this year. Besides, Collins is the clear #2 so if Brennan even sniffed the field this year I'd be very surprised.
