Packers should have drafted Colt Brennan

[rbaloha1]

Although I admire TT's draft and like Brohm and Flynn, Colt Brennan should have been a Packer.

CB is NFL ready and if a Packer the clear #2 with no worries.

And you know he is NFL ready how?


He threw a couple TDs against scrubs that won't be playing in the NFL this year?

CB is a little older and mature than the other rookie qbs. Tutored by June Jones and able to read NFL coverages. Just watch what develops in Washington. CB is a leader, winner and competitive. So far displayed better NFL skills than Brohm or Flynn.

CB was heavily criticized as a "system qb." What would happen if he had Brohm's stats? The Mel Kipers would be thumping their chest by going, "See I told you so!" BTW Erik Ainge has already been cut. Was he playing against Scrubs?

Many teams are going to be wondering why CB was not drafted by their respective teams given the poor leaguewide qb play.

I was a huge Brennan fan and wanted him on the Pack but I really cant complain with the Brohm pick... the guy was supposed to be a 1st rounder and heisman hopeful before he got hurt.. give him time

While Brennan is "quarterback smart" and was well-coached in college, I have concerns about his small size. I question if he is durable to physically sustain the hits he will receive in the pros.

I am as well a Brohm fan. Very impressive in college. Poised in the pocket and displayed the ability to go thru progressions.

But lets not forget Brohm was coached hard by his brother. Is this something to be concerned about?

If you recall CB was given a second round pick grade after his junior year. Decided to return after Coach Jones promised not to leave for the NFL, the challenge to lead Hawaii to the BCS (accomplished) and win the Heisman (finished third)

The word was the Dolphins would have selected CB in round one. They choose Beck in round 2. Beck is now a backup.

CB did not have the same senior season as his junior season. Also the Hawaii team performed poorly in the Sugar Bowl and CB was injured in the Senior Bowl. Too many negatives caused CB to drop.

For anyone watching CB's career the criticism was nonsense. Coach Jones completely supported CB and compared him favorably with any qb he coached.

Lets see what develops.

CB is now a solid 220 lbs. Weight is not a concern. Check out CB highlights on nfl.com.

Packer fans will see CB clearly outperforming our guys.

Checkout the highlights. Listen to John Madden's comments.

Game 3 CB leads the Redskins on a game winning drive. Highlights to follow.

This thread never would have been started if Brohm impressed like CB.

The guy is small and didn't play top notch competition. Also, historically the run and shoot QB's (Andre Ware, David Klingler, etc.) haven't done favorable in the NFL? What makes you certain this guy will be anything special other than his padded stats against watered down competition?

I'm not saying he can't be successful but odds are better he'll wash out like many QB's in this league than he'll end up being a late round gem.

Then again Brohm could wash out just as well but I have a much better feeling about him than I do about Brennan.

I'm not claiming to be some QB expert, but Brennan's release is unorthodox. He does have a knack for finding open guys though. Maybe he's like Bernie Kosar. Not the best looking QB, but effective.

Let's revisit this thread in 2 years.

ALso, he ran the run and shoot, a pass happy offense. I think that should give anyone pause.

DT's

Anyone hear any rumblings about any DT's that maybe getting cut or may come available in the next few weeks?

I'm really concerned about he DL, just wondering if TT can find something off the junk pile.

Would it matter? TT doesn't sign anyone anyways.. we'll have to wait til next years draft to fill that void
