I'm in no way saying Colt is Bret now. Just saying he could be almost as good as Bret someday. My choice of QB's for the Skins in order would be JC, Daniel, Brennan. Only cause I like how Chase looks comfortable, his poise, his decisiveness, his quickness to get the ball off, and he can scramble.

That's probably a Walsh thing to not directly tamper with throwing motions in order to 'fix' them them and instead focus more on the footwork, how to drop back on certain plays, where on the receiver's body to throw it to, etc.
I meant arm strength. Brett could get away with taking and chances since he zip it in before the defender gets to the ball because he had a big arm to unleash the ball with high velocity along with his other talents.
Colt may become as good as Brett--I find it unlikely, although he may become as sucessful as him in a offense that plays to his strengths, although he has to realize his arm strength is not one of them--, but it will not be with Favre/Cutler's playstyle in full at the very least because he doesn't have one of the things that is needed to avoid the bad consequences that comes with it often enough.
