He doesn't strike me as a real good decision maker.
The facts on him "are what they are". He's not a first round level talent. The WAC is an inferior conference to the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Big 10, PAC 10. Timmy Chang put up similar numbers to Colt in his time at Hawaii. Timmy Chang is now in the CFL.
When Colt actually wins an NFL game as a starter, then we can open the discussion on whether he'll amount to more than a career back-up. Right now if JC goes down (God forbid), I'm glad we would go to Collins rather than Brennan.

Thank you. All these people who think Colt Brennan could step in and be viable NFL QB right now are giving me a headache. I like that we drafted him, and I like the thought of developing him over time. It's frustrating as hell to lose, but benching Campbell is just dumb.
Although the conference you played in in college doesn't matter all that much. Joe Flacco played for Delaware for god's sake. Romo? Eastern Michigan. McNair played at Alcorn State... There are plenty of damn good NFL players that didn't play in BCS conferences.
