Which is kinda the point, the two are pretty much interchangeable except that, to my recollection, Chase didn't make as many glaringly bad decisions as Colt did.

Does this mean were keeping Mason and Aldridge?

The Washington Redskins say they've decided to put quarterback Colt Brennan on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, ruling him out for the season.

The team reported on its Web site Saturday that Brennan aggravated a nagging hamstring problem during Thursday night's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Brennan and Chase Daniel spent the preseason battling for the third-string job.

Still, Daniel will not make the 53-man roster and is unlikely to be a practice squad candidate, a team source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

The Redskins plan to carry just 2 quarterbacks on the 53-man roster -- Jason Campbell and Todd Collins.

Information from The Associated Press and ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen was used in this report.

Carrying 2 QB's and having another roster spot for another position may be the idea. In the unlikely scenario of losing your top 2 QB's to injury, there's always ARE. Hey...we're the Redskins....who knows what those crazy rascals will do?

CultBrennan59 · 09-05-2009, 01:11 PM

hey, then being a brennan fan and die hard skins fan, this is just great news! This means that we do keep a mason along with maybe an Aldrige and/or Dorsey.
It could also be a eddie williams, or a lendy holmes, edwin williams, daryl young, rob jackson, the list goes on

I'll be interested in hearing from Zorn why the team decided to cut ties with Daniel altogether. Obviously there must have been some major concern with him, and since he played reasonably well with the oportunities he had, the only reason I can think of for his release was his size. Will be interesting to hear from Zorn.

i think it's because of height...he has to drop back further to see over the oline, and if he drops back further than he gets more yards lost when he gets sacked. the other reason why we're releasing him i think, is because jason campbell can stay healthy, and Todd Collins could finish a season out for us anyway should campbell get injured. And also because Colt, who Zorn's developing won't play, and didn't even dress out last year, and we have lots of other guys that can play like our RB's OL, DL, LB's that we like.

Colt's the Future. He just needs to get healthy, study the playbook more and learn from Jim Zorn. That is unless we have a new coach next year who will want his own qb.

Really? I was kinda hoping Jason Campbell was the future.

Chase Daniel said in a Twitter post he was told by the front office he'll get a spot on the practice squad if he clears waivers.

We'll obviously KNOW soon enough... but I doubt that the Skins are cutting ties with him completely.

Doesn't matter. Somebody is bound to pick him up. I think they are going for one of the whiz kids next season for sure now!!!!

ABSOLUTELY, someone else will pick him up, after all what do we know about evaluating QB's.

You know, I've been skimming the Colt threads here and there. I'd see comments by various posters talking about the Cult of Colt. I kinda shrugged it off and didn't really take it too seriously. I remember we went through this with Taylor Jacobs, then Anothony Mix, Ade Jimoh (who could forget the Ade fan club?) and many others over the years. But my god, this Colt shit is for real. There are people here, reasonable and intelligent mind you, who actually believe Colt Brennen is the next coming of Fran Tarkenton.

It's extremely difficult for a quarterback to come into this league, no matter how talented and gifted, and make an impact. Could it happen, I suppose so. But here's a guy that can't unseat Todd Collins at the age of 36, 37 years old, as the second string quarterback. Colt has zero chance, in my opinion, of taking over this team. At least not while Jason Campbell still wears burgund and gold.

Colt lovers are incredible, some of you guys are purely comical at this point. And btw, whoever came up with Pineapple Jesus is a genius, these guys really believe he is the messiah.

Ruhskins · 09-05-2009, 02:09 PM

I guess the team wants to give Colt one more chance. i don't mind the team carrying two QBs, I'm sure they can pick up a third qb later on, and now they can use that roster spot elsewhere. With this injury though I wonder if Colt is going to be one of those injury-prone players. Oh well, I'm glad it wasn't an important player that got injured (i.e. a starter or an important back up)
