Yeah he probably shouldn't have. I'm not making excuses for these guys but I'm sure they know they only have a limited amount of plays to make the team so they sometimes make bad decisions by trying to showcase their skills (Colt). I'm not sure they understand that sometimes they're hurting themselves by not making the smart, safe play.

Exactly. I mean last game to showcase and they are nervous about making a mistake which in reality increases the chance to make those mistakes.

Well the thing is they also have weeks of practices and scrimmages to show their skills as well. And Alridge was fumbling then as well. I mean it's not just Chase's game performances that have him in good position to take the #3 spot. 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 agree. Maybe I'm just getting soft because I'm feeling good about this team.

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.
