Colt Brennan: Overhyped Or The Real Deal?
August 19, 2008
Since the start of preseason, I have tried (for the most part) to stay out of the Colt Brennan discussion. However, I can't resist any longer.
It's hard to really pass judgment on a guy that has only played in three NFL preseason games, so I'm going try and avoid labeling him. So many people I have talked to are ready to crown him as the savior of DC, and it's way too early to even discuss him taking the No. 2 role. So basically, I just have to point out several things.
From what I have seen thus far, Brennan is very raw. I think he has talent and a great arm, but come on people, let's face it, some of the throws he makes would never fly against first-team defenses.
Now, I know he's a third stringer playing against third stringers, and it's good to see him dominate his peers. Unfortunately, many of his peers will be looking for work in a month, so his present success is rendered irrelevant. Should we care that he was burning Joe Schmo last week? No!
However, all that we have to look at is his previous performances, so let's check them out.

Got something to say?
What people fail to realize is that when Brennan DOES play against a first string defense, he will also have a FIRST STRING LINE and RECEIVERS playing with him too. I’ve seen this ‘kid’ progress from UH to DC and the growth in one year has been amazing. Remember he set all kinds of Records in the NCAA. He will be become one of the highest efficiency passing QB’s in the pros. Just watch.
The guy definitely has potential, but I really feel Jason Campbell is a special player and thus far is a better option than Brennan. I know a lot of people aren’t high on Jason, but as of now he is the guy. And thus far we really don’t know if Brennan can play with the big boys.
