I just read that the Redskins have signed undrafted QB Chase Daniels as a free agent. And that he will be "battling Colt Brennan for the 3rd string spot" ANOTHER QB.....C'MON!!
While I have nothing but respect for what Chase accomplished during his time at Mizz, I think that is totally unfair to Colt. He EARNED his spot last year after beating Derek Devine for the 3rd spot. And now he has to fight for it again?!?! C'MON!!
I've read articles about the Redskins, praticularly anything dealing with Colt. And from what I read in those articles, it seems Colt has a huge following in DC. He's popular with his teammates, the outside community loves him, and he still volunteers his time to speak to kids and support groups. IF by some freakish occurence, Colt is released, the Redskins will lose a whole lot of fans.....praticularly the fans in Hawaii.....
Colt has proven that he can hang with the big guys in the NFL, granted it was only preseason, but if memory serves he was the top rated Rookie QB coming out of preseason. I have no doubt in my mind, that if Colt got a shot in the regular season last year, he would've shined like Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco did. The Redskins' record would've been a hell of a lot better. IMHO, Colt has the qualties of a great QB, and the intangibles as well....
Nothing against Campbell, but from what I've seen of him, he's too conservative in his reads and decsions. It's good to be conservative, but you also have to take a shot now and again. I've spoken to a few guys at work who are life long Skins fans, and they agree , Campbell needs to be a lil more agressive. I've seen games where there'd be a reciever 15+ yards downfield, wide open, but he'd make the short throw instead....
I SINCERELY hope that the Redskins realize what a steal they got in Colt. John Madden has nothing but praise for Colt. We ALL know what June Jones thinks of Colt. You talk to all of the college coaches that Hawaii went up against while Colt was there, and they have nothing but praise for him. C'mon, ALLthese guys can't be wrong....
GIVE COLT A SHOT!!!
