Colt Brennan

[Bob Sacamano]

my only concern is that he added, what? 30lbs. in a month?

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I dont know what the total was but I do know that he has added quite a bit of weight since after the bowl game cause they were pretty worried about him being way undersized (At one point I believe he was playing at 185) for a QB at his height. 6'2" is not a short guy, I don't know where people got the idea he was necassarily short, but 185 at 6'2", for the average person is great, but for a QB...that seems like a really small frame just made for beating up, badly, in the pros.

But, again, the kid could be tough as nails and be able to really take a beating.

did you see the beating i think it was Georgia gave him in the bowl game?

Yes. But that is a one game beating. I'd be more concerned about a potential 16 game beating that a frame like that would take in the Pros.

Like I said that beating against Georgia maybe an indication that he is tough and can take one, but I'd be very concerned if he'd stayed at the 185 range. Apparently, however, he put some weight on, hopefully more muscle, to help take those sort of beatings.

The NFL measures the ball speed (mph) for quarterbacks at the Combine. That would show Brennan's arm strength.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Do they post these numbers? I've not seen any of those before. That would be pretty interesting to see for lots of QBs.

 

[windward]

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.




YAKUZA

He's 24.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Hawaii...HOMERS *cackle*

 

[TellerMorrow34]

He's 24.

Goodness. How old is this kid? I've seen 26, 25, and now 24 tonight.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Ahhh, found it. He turns 25 in August, which I think someone pointed out a few posts back.

 

[Paniolo22]

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.

I'd like you to go back and show me exactly which post annoints me as a homer? I said I am biased and hopes he does well in the first post. Other than that, I posted that he was 21 for 21, you said it didn't mean anything and that you could go in your backyard and hit 20 in a row. I then posted that his height is similar toother QB's in the draft and our own QB. I then posted his stats to show that not all of his passes get knowcked down and he still is extrememly productive. I never said pick him in the first day, I never said he was the best qb in the draft, or even 4th or 5th best. I said
3rd rd or above, and I never even said by US! That idiot Borat guy keeps insulting him and it inclines me to defend him, but at least I can say I've watched him for 3 years and he is a better player than Timmy Chang could dream of being, and he's still on someones practice squad. Systems make the numbers, not the QB. Give the kid a little credit.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I give the kid loads of credit for putting up great numbers, in a good system, but sadly against some very inferior competition.

Now that doesn't honestly make him unable to be great in the pros, cause Romo, Simms, and some others came from small time schools that didn't have great competition either, but I'm just not sold on him.

I'm just saying, by you already stating your bias on him, you have a avatar and banner making it clear you're a Hawaii fan, that makes you a homer, to me. You're hoping good things for the kid, nothing wrong with that. I feel the same way about players from my favorite team (Nebraska). I just don't usually tout them, even as a good player as you have (Cause no one can give you crap for saying he'd be great cause you've not claimed that) because I've always got that feeling that I'm honestly being bias cause they play for my favorite team.

This year it was easy to avoid though since Nebraska sucked so bad that none of our prospects would be highly thought of anyway.

 

[jterrell]

Brennen is not a very good prospect.

He is slightly built, not elusive and has no experience in a pro style system.
He is similar to the Texas Tech QBs and will probably go very late if in fact he is drafted. He looked bad in the bowl game and in the Senior Bowl.

Hawaii was building a very solid program under Jones but it was clearly about system more so than talent... which is very good news at SMU where they have next no talent, lol.

 

[dogberry]

Following up on BraveHeartFan, how come ball speed isn't given everytime a qb is mentioned?

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Yeah I'm honestly curious as to what guys rank in terms of ball speed. that would be fairly interesting to look into.

Arm strength- One of the most over rated aspects of a NFL qb.

Accuracy- One of the most important aspects of an NFL qb.
