Why Not Colt Brennan?

First, it was Jason Campbell for Jay Cutler. Maybe.

 

That didn't work.

 

Then it was Campbell involved in draft-day talks. Did the Redskins want a different quarterback, an upgrade, some competition?

 

Regardless of what you took out of it, it's clear the Redskins (namely Daniel Snyder) don't have too much confidence in their starting quarterback.

 

After making solid strides in his first eight starts (going 6-2) in 2008, Campbell and the rest of the offense took a dive off the deep end...and never returned.

 

Washington sputtered the rest of the way, going 2-6, finishing 8-8, and missing the playoffs. Very New York Jets-Favre-like.

 

And just when we were beginning to believe.

 

However, after trade talk rumor after trade talk rumor, here we are, back with Campbell as the opening day starter.

 

The thing that is the most interesting is how the Redskins appear so sure they're starting with the best player at the quarterback position.

 

After his solid finish to the 2007 season and leading the Redskins into the playoffs, it's arguable that Todd Collins, even at 38, could be a better option.

 

Not exactly an addition toward the future, but Collins is clearly a better game-manager and decision-maker.

 

But even if it would be the better play, it'd still be foolish. There's no point in stunting a potentially good player's growth, unless you have a young guy you can run with.

 

But wait, don't they already have another good, young quarterback on their roster?

 

Yes, folks, I'm launching the idea that Colt Brennan, Hawaii alum and all, can be, and should be the starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins.

 

It makes sense on so many levels.

 

Snyder and the Skins' front office have already begun to realize they messed up with Campbell. As solid as he has looked in some stretches, he has looked obscenely average in others.

 

He's a polished Jamarcus Russell. Wow, I can already hear the applause.

 

Instead of shtick, mediocrity, or an old dude flailing lame-duck passes into triple coverage, we could get the kick-ass Hawaiian player.

 

Let's face it, from the media, to your friends, to your own disillusioned perception of what quarterbacking is, you developed a finely tuned love for Colt Brennan.

 

He's the guy you can't deny broke about every single record a guy could break and at the end of the day got no respect for it.

 

The truth is, Brennan is damn good! He was flat-out dominant at Hawaii, but was restricted on an NFL-scouting basis, due to his lack of elite competition (which is bs all the so called "elite competition" back out for fear they would get their asses kicked by Hawaii" and the type of offense he played in.

 

Give me a break people. Give Colt a chance. He's gonna become history... Or are you just to afraid to admit June Jones was right?
