Pick Analysis: Brennan saw his stock fall after a disappointing combine performance
Fact is Brennan threw extremely well at the combine. The Honolulu Advertiser was just one of a few (the media) that actually witnessed Colt's workout. See the following: (I'm not able to post links yet, so I'm pasting unedited text)

Brennan credited with 100 percent accuracy in today's drills
INDIANAPOLIS — In an astonishing display of accuracy, Colt Brennan was credited with completing 100 percent of his passes during drills today at the NFL Scouting Combine in the RCA Dome.
Of his 21 passes, 20 were caught. A chest-high pass was dropped, but it was so accurate Brennan was credited with a completion.
"This is one big hurdle I cleared," said Brennan, who endured criticism because of his weight and perceived lack of arm strength.
But Brennan reported to the combine weighing 207 pounds, and today he showed his arm strength (two of the completions were for 45 yards) in disciplines ranging from 5-yard outs to streak patterns.
Brennan worked out with a group that included UH teammates Davone Bess and Ryan Grice-Mullins.
One of the drills was a route in which the receiver ran 5 yards straight, then cut to the left. Brennan and Bess were randomly paired for that play, which was the Warriors' money short-yardage play the past two seasons. Brennan easily completed the pass to Bess.
Brennan drew applause from the players and coordinators when he completed a 45-yard pass to DeSean Jackson. It was a difficult throw in which Jackson ran straight 10 yards, cut 5 yards to the left, then sprinted to the right.
The report on his drills showed 19 of Brennan's passes were perfect. Two were slightly off the mark, but were caught, anyway.
"I was really happy," Brennan said. "There are so many misconceptions, so many untruths out there, about what I am as a quarterback and what I can do. It's mostly those Internet sites. Their perception is heard, and it's like 'telephone.' People around the country hear these things and assume them."
Only players and drill coordinators were allowed on the field. Scouts were in the stands. Reporters from 25 news agencies, including The Honolulu Advertiser, were allowed to watch from the luxury suites.

And lastly, Colt is not regarded as a GOD in Hawaii just because he can throw the ball extremely well. He's a super nice, down to earth, charismatic kid whom is very loyal.
I have no doubt whatsoever that Washington DC will love Colt Brennan!
P.S. Nice to see a Colt Brennan thread that isn't overwhelmingly bashing him

Great post thanks.
For those of us who watched Brennan all year we know he has serious talent. Only those that haven't (or only watched one game) are the ones that think poorly of him.
ps- Georgia should have been national champs.
