Colt's Game Performance

[SC Skins Fan]

I haven't watched the game yet (it does not replay on NFLN until 3pm today), but as far as Colt Brennan goes ... the honest answer is that he did not play that well last preseason. Everyone got all excited, but I think if you went back and watched the games again you would see a QB who did not get through his progressions and who made some ill advised throws. Some of them (I am especially thinking of that stick throw to the tight end across the middle and managed to go for a reception) were caught and made nice highlights. He got away with some stuff last year, that's all I'm saying. Having not watched the Ravens game yet, I would be very surprised if he actually did not play better and demonstrate a better grasp of the offense.

Bottom line, the hype last year was way overblown and ignored what was actually happening on the film (a nice box score does not a franchise QB make). I suspect the same could be said in reverse after this first game (as you seem to indicate).
