It's also the fact that he practiced well, took what the coaches were saying to him, processed it and improved as the summer went on.

I pay more attention to "character" now, maybe it's Joe Gibbs second coming or simply maturity, but I pay attention to how these guys interview, since I'm not around them personally.
Just like political candidates, players come across differently in interviews & can give you a sharp, however hasty, opinion of them. Watching colt & daniel in back to back interviews left me liking Daniel a lot more. Colt spoke decently, but sounds more fraternity boy than pro qb. Daniel is more reserved & humble, but sounds more professional & aware of his rookie status.
I got a good impression of him & as a qb he seems like a poor man's flutie, a dude that lacks height but isn't concerned w/stats & style points, just does what he needs to win. Colt on the other hand, kinda has me torn. He shows potential & athleticism, but seems immature both as a player & person. A little bit self absorbed for an nfl qb. I think keeping Colt makes more sense, but at the same time I fear he may not have Daniel's staying power. Daniel seems like a guy that will do whatever it takes to make a team & eventually start.
