Re: Colt Brennan profile

I think Brennan is a decent pick, I'm surprised he didn't get drafted higher. I think he'll probably start out as a 3rd string and may get bumped up to 2nd String if TC decides to hang it up in a couple years.

...And he's definitely easy on the eyes.. He'll have plenty of female fans!

Re: Colt Brennan profile

Colt's got competition. We just signed another QB to compete for #3.

Re: Colt Brennan profile

I absolutely love this pick late in the draft, I think he will pick up the offense very quickly, smarts, accuracy, and anticipation are the most important attributes in the WCO, arm strength is good but not necessary, see Joe Montana.

Re: Colt Brennan profile

I'm a little biased about Brennan, i'm out here in Hawaii. Just remember, in that game against Georgia, Georgia is probably in the best conference (SEC) and the Rainbows had no running game. If Georgia wanted to win, all they had to do was stop the passing game. Colt is a great addition. the 3d QB position is his.

Re: Colt Brennan profile

When I watched his highlight tape on SI.com, one thing I noticed was the fact that he really does have a quick release, not just in the throw itself but in the mechanics. In watching a lot of QB's I've noticed that they always seem to do that pat with the ball right before they throw it, and in turn it can cost the QB a second or two in delievering the football, which we all know is critical time at the NFL level. In some cases it can also tip off the safety and lead to a pick. Colt on the other hand has a case of see window hit window, which should help him at the NFL level.

The sidearm release worries me a little though, but hopefully Z-Man can do with Brennan what the Texans failed to do with another sidearm QB in Carr.

His release I believe will have to be corrected to many balls will be batted down in the NFL if he doesn't.

Nobody is bashing the pick because we didn't move into the second round to pick him, this is a very low risk, extremely high reward pick great job getting a [what I believe] top flight NFL punter, and a backup QB with future starter potential that late in the draft!

Re: Colt Brennan profile

Yep, his release isn't exactly ideal for the NFL. It's far too low to make it over most Dlinemen. If you watch Colt, he backs up right before he throws a lot to give him the extra room.

I certainly don't hate the pick. He'll have a small contract and time to learn from a vet and one young but experienced QB. Personally, I would have rather gone with Andre Woodson who was still on the board, but the Colt pick is far from terrible. When you start getting into those late rounds you're looking for talent that needs a few tweaks -- colt falls into that realm.

No one had an uglier release than perhaps my favorite QB of all time...Bernie Kosar.

Re: Colt Brennan profile

I'm just happy that the Skins picked a QB who has success in his college career rather than one who has decent measureables, but had a less than stellar career.

Re: Colt Brennan profile

Did anyone else catch Brian Baldinger's take on Brennan last night on NFLN? This didn't make a ton of sense to me but whatever. He basically said with JC coming off an injury, he wouldn't be surprised if at some point this year JC goes down again and Brennan takes over and "never looks back".
