Colt Brennan

[Yakuza Rich]

he did good in that respect but he seems to have a below average arm, in terms of strength, to me and I didn't feel like he got his passes out of his hand, and out to the spot he was suppose to be throwing to, nearly well enough.

I disagree with your assessment on his arm strength. He's not Byron Leftwich or Brett Favre, but he can make just about every throw on the field and was impressive for a college QB with the deep ball.

Colt's biggest problem is his age. He won't be ready to play in the league right away like most QB's coming out of college, but he's already 26 years old.

Cool, nothing wrong with that. I didn't even realize he was already 26. That's interesting.

I'm not trying to compare his arm strength to a Favre or anything, that's pretty much unfair to most QBs, but his arm strength reminds me a lot more of a Chad Pennington than anyone elses, and Chad doesn't exactly have a really good arm either.

But, hey, he could easily prove me completely wrong. I'm just not on the wagon, as of this date, that he's going to be a good QB.

Hey dude, awesome. If you want to put a franchise on the back of a kid cause he can throw 100% of his passes to guys against air, by all means, that's your deal.

Being able to hit every pass to a reciever with no one else on the field means very little to me cause there is ZERO shot of him ever getting such a situation in the NFL.

Why is that every time someone disagrees around here it's personal and people want to throw out the stupid remarks? jesus. I don't agree with you. It doesnt mean it's personal.

I dont know how many others did it today, or in history, but being 100% against AIR is not impressive to me. I could go out in the back yard, with the boys, and i bet there would be days, more than one, where I could throw 20 or so passes to them and hit every single one of them.

It's passes against air. It's just not that impressive to me. I need to see it with pressure, with defenses, that sort of thing.

But it's not personal. i dont hate Brennan, I don't even know the guy. But him hitting 100% of his passes against air is just not something I'm going to put a huge amount of stock into. Sorry if I don't want to proclaim that as one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, but it's just not.

we got off track because you started making crap up concerning my point of view and chose sarcasm as your means of delivery.

you don't want it back at you - don't start it out that way. pretty simple.

like making 21 of 21 throws to no one at all yet not many others can apparantely do something so simple.

*nods* No biggy man. Yeah got a bit off there with a sarcastic remark. I don't know how that leads us to personal against your thoughts or calling anyone stupid, but it's all good. We're adults. We know where we're at on this and it's not important, in the long run, either way.

And, I'll agree, its not necassarily the most simple thing in the world to do, hit 21 out of 21, cause you have to figure in drops and recievers not getting there, but my point, and the reason I'm not overly impressed by it, is that its something that I've seen done in practice warm ups in football, in warm ups for flag football and pick up games. Throwing completions, regardless of the amount, against air is not something that I find remarkably impressive or how it translates, at all, to how accurate a person would be during a real game.

Now maybe the guy will turn out to have one of the more accurate careers in the NFL, as a starter or even a serviceable back up, that I don't know. I just am not completely sold on his accuracy when it came against air.

That's all.

fair enough. my own pet peeve is simply people who assume what i'm thinking before i say it and then go off arguing about things i never said thiinking i'm just ... silly for saying them.

which i never did.

anyway - i do have a short fuse there.

 

[Angus]

He has a noodle arm though. Never gonna make it in the NFL.

Like Romo?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Brennan is a system QB

put him in the WCO

 

[Teague31]

A lot of that sounds like the knock on a Cowboy QB coming out of college.

quincy carter?

.

I've watched quite a bit of both over the years and I'd say he has a stronger arm than Pennington at this point. If anything, I'd put his arm strength right around Romo's.

Yeah, every player questioned coming out of college is like a player that beat the odds to make it in the NFL.

During the senoir bowl reports were he struggled a lot with arm strength and NFLN showed footage of him throwing routes in 7-7.

He indeed struggled to make all the throws and his mechanics were terrible. Not to mention he lacks height that would allow him to compensate.

In all fairness we are looking at Ken Dorsey from Miami, Fl a few years ago; great college QB, but not enough skills for the NFL.

 

[Little Jr]

quincy carter?

LOL!! No!! But that was funny!!!!

Depends on who does the questioning.

good day to be a Colt.

Not that it's a big difference, but he'll be 25 in August, not 26.

Oh come on! This is getting ridiculous. Quit making blanket statements that you have absolutely NO credibility on. :bang2: He measured in at 6'2 and 3/8 which is fractions taller than our own Romo, the same height as JD Booty, and a 1/2 inch shorter than Brohm and Henne. Second, his mechanics were fine, it's his 3/4 delivery that could be conceived as a problem, he has quick feet and good pocket presence with some escapability. This is getting tired.

His delivery makes him even shorter something Parcells had David Lee change in Romo because he stated every pass will be knocked down.

Could it be you do not know what you speak of?

or

Maybe Parcells was wrong as well?

BTW, Romo also has a much stronger arm the ole Noodle arm boy Colt....

Romo and Henson at the same time? It sure didn't help Henson. No wonder Lee left. Anyway, regardless of your ignorance and learning your expertise from the senior bowl highlights, here are his career stats. -
Year GP Comp Att Yds Comp % TD INT
2003 DNP - - - - - -
2004 JUCO - - - - - -
2005 12 350 515 4,301 68.0% 35 13
2006 14 406 559 5,549 72.6% 58 12
2007 12 359 510 4,343 70.4% 38 17
Totals 38 1,115 1,584 14,193 70.4% 131 42

Of those 1584 passes, less than 25 were knocked down at the LOS. This year was the most with 12.

Dude I go to La Tech, and I went to the Sugar Bowl. When we played yall this year Colt didnt look too hot against our average D. Then in the Bowl he got destroyed by Georgia. When the backup went in he did much better against the same D.


I am also very surprised that no one has mentioned Brennans questionable character issues. He was a thug at Hawaii.

Impressive stats. No doubt. Against extremely inferior competition. Brennan, in all honesty, reminds me of another Klingler or Clint Kingsberry, and some others who put up out of this world numbers for their careers and then didn't translate to the pros.

I mean I could be proven wrong by Brennan, he might wind up really good, but I'm afraid that you seem a little too much like a homer, in regards to fandom of him and his team, for me to take anything about what you say on him as totally unbias.

I hope the guy proves me wrong, I'd like to see everyone one day make it big who comes out (I don't ever wish a bad career on anyone) but I just have a feeling that he's going to wind up being someone who never really does much.
