I'll say one more thing regarding Colt. Back in May I went out to Redskin Park for an OTA practice. I have a business relationship w/ 980. Several people were invited and we could stand right next to the field. The players were just a few feet away. That day you COULD NOT tell the difference between Kirk and Colt. There were no pads of course but both guys really threw the ball well. Sudfeld struggled as his passes wobbled in the wind. But Colt ran the 2nd team and made nice passes into the wind down the field. He took more chances that day with the ball while Kirk played it safe for the most part. Obviously it's an OTA practice, but he's better than a lot of you think. He's been in the offense for several years and it would not surprise me if he outplays Smith during pre season. I'll leave it at that...

This is a fallacy. How many times has a good player been let go because a new coaching/regime change planted a new plan with a different scheme or style or the new leadership just wanting to go get “their guy” instead of the previous leadership’s choice. - Harbaugh and San Fran

How many times has a team let an older player go because of pressure to play their newly drafted pride and joy? - Maholmes and Kansas City
