Zorn wanted to cut Brennan prior to 09 season - report

So there aren't any specifics of when exactly before the 2009 season he wanted to cut him?
Or maybe there is:
Redskins Insider - Colt Brennan faces uncertain future with Redskins (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/jason-reid/colt-brennan-faces-uncertain-f.html?wprss=redskinsinsider)
But Zorn expected Brennan to challenge Todd Collins for the backup job in the 2009 preseason, and that didn't happen because Brennan struggled. Also, some in the organization grew frustrated with Brennan because of what they perceived to be his cockiness despite never having accomplished anything in the NFL, team sources said.
Zorn, however, determined that Brennan did not progress enough from his rookie season to commit a roster spot to him. Although Zorn was fired after going 12-20 in two seasons and often seemed to be in way over his head, his credentials as a quarterbacks coach are unquestioned.
So it sounds like he wanted Chase or something.

So I suggest next time to check your biases before engaging in potential libel.

Yo, dude.

I'm not bashing Zorn, nor was i being biased. I was just saying that after Brennan's injury and everything, Zorn still said good things about him bla blah, how he would have a role with the team, etc....

Colt has been discussed a bit in the last thread bearing his name. Who really cares what Zorn thought? His thinking is the reason he's no longer here.

Staff (especially Zorn) almost always talk up their players to the press, whether they mean it or not.

An interesting exception was Allen's presser yesterday, in which he said of the guys being cut, "Many were good Redskins players." Which means some were not, in his estimation. He didn't name names but that is about as critical as you'll see from a FO person.

Todd Collins

Collins had a solid tenure here, he's always going to be a fave of mine for how he played down the stretch in '07.

Exactly, coaches alway do this, in fact nobody was better at it than Saint Joe. Why badmouth your players when you can talk good about them and maybe generate some interest from another team who might give you something for him.

Ex-Redskins coach Jim Zorn reportedly wanted to cut QB Colt Brennan before the 2009 season started.
Brennan had a miserable 2009, playing poorly in three straight preseason games before landing on injured reserve with a torn labrum in his hip. He's also turned off some members of the organization with a cocky attitude (despite his lack of NFL success). Brennan isn't the quarterback of the future, and he may not make the team in

I must really suck at evaluating talent. I didn't think Colt did that bad. I thought he was better then Collins and honestly thought Chase Daniels had more accuracy then both Colt and JC. I was hoping we would keep Chase and give him a couple of years to learn, cut Collins prior to last year, and make Colt the #2. Instead Colt got injured, and Chase cut.

It's funny, when Joe was here and all you would hear is him saying it all rests on his shoulders fans would be all up in arms calling out the players saying Joe had nothing to do with how the players play on the field and Joe should just tell us fans who screwed up. I've heard this and read this during both terms. Then we pick up Zorn who calls out players in order to get them to perform and people complained about how he was airing all the laundry through the media, then the players got on board and all of a sudden it was taboo.

All I can remember is thinking how nice it was prior to the airing of the laundry and calling people out.

This is coach who called the same bs play 2 times in a row. -swinging gate-

But like many have said there is a reason he is no longer here.... Shanny is running the show and as of now Colt is still on the roster. If he were cut then we could say something but id have to say i go with Shanahan over Zorn on talent evals.
