Shorty? Didnt one of the shortest QB's in the league just win the SB? Wasnt Flutie a good QB despite his height? QB's around the 6 foot mark make it to the pros because they can compensate their lack of height by being able to move in the pocket and make plays. Im not saying Brennan is Brees but dont use the height as your reason why a guy cant make it when clearly others have. Doesnt Favre have a bit of a a sidearm release? And he has just about every record there is so that can be thrown out as well. Brady fell to the later rounds so obviously he had some shortcomings coming out of college. Currently he is one of the best in the league. So you dont have to be the tallest,strongest or even the most accurate to be successful.But hey, maybe youre right and Colt will be cut and never heard from again, but as of right now he is still here so Shanny must see something in him to keep him around and give him a chance to make the team.If Shanny thought he "sucked" as bad as you say he would be gone by now. Im sure there are a dozen QB's out there who could come in and compete for the backup spot of that were the case. A guy like Garcia comes to mind.
