Pinneapple Jesus vs. the new qb's brought in

[GTripp0012]

Colt Brennan was a decent sixth round pickup with some upside who was offered every opportunity to win the no. 2 job last year for Zorn. He didn't come through, then he ended up on IR, and now he's entering the prime years of his career as a third stringer.

I don't think we're going to keep 3 QBs this year, although if we do, Colt's the odds on favorite to hold the job. He's not going to ascend the depth chart and his chances of ever throwing an NFL pass are basically nil beyond this season.

He was a gamble. They took a shot at a guy who has NCAA passing records, but didn't play the best opposition in getting those ungodly stats. They took a shot, and it hasn't worked out thus far. I think we will keep 3 Qbs. Donovan can get hurt, then Grossman does his thing. Brennan is the emergency QB if the shit hit the fan. Shanny drafts a QB in 2011 and will be under Donovan to groom him to take over. Like I keep saying, if Chase Daniel was a few inches taller Brennan wouldn't be here.

Aside from Tom Brady, there are only a handful of 6th round qb picks that I think even became starters. I don't think it's accurate to say that Colt "hasn't worked out thus far." He made the team his rookie year. Last year, they IR'd him. He wasn't expected to take Collins' spot as the #2 his rookie year. Last year Zorn wasn't impressed w/him, but Zorn is gone. If he makes the cut this year I think that's meeting expectations for a 6th round pick.
