Today the Washington Redskins made moves which affect the starting Quarterback position, continuing the trend this off-season.
John Beck, a second round pick in 2007 for the Miami Dolphins, comes to town by way of the Baltimore Ravens, with whom he spent the 2009 season.

In the trade, the Ravens get cornerback Doug Dutch, who joined the Washington Redskins’ practice squad in November 2009. [picappgallerysingle id=”6031157″]
The move momentarily puts a fifth Quarterback on the Washington Redskins roster, joining starter Donovan McNabb, Rex Grossman and Rich Bartel.

Wait, that’s only 4 (including Beck)?
That’s right, because Colt Brennan, fan favorite and lauded as a pre-season hero the past couple years, is being cut. Word is that he has actually already left the Washington Redskins facilities in Ashburn. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as reports have claimed that Colt Brennan hasn’t impressed anyone during the OTA’s, minicamps or training camp.

Speculation is that Colt Brennan will take John Beck’s former spot on the Baltimore Ravens’ squad, rejoining Jim Zorn, who now serves as the Quarterbacks coach for the Black And Purple Charm City squad.

Colt has always been a guy I’ve loved watching. I know we have three QBs down in TB, but I’d welcome him there if it had to be.
Sorry to see Colt go. I hope he eventually gets a chance to play. I hate it when NFL scouts assume a QB who isn’t that tall or doesn’t have a super strong arm won’t make it in the NFL without giving them a chance. Doug Flutie wasn’t given a fair chance for a long time but when he played he proved it on the field. Colt was a winner in college and a prolific passer. If he goes to Baltimore that’ll be good for him to not go too far and to be with Zorn. Might be a good sign if it shows Zorn believes in him.
Speaking of Doug Flutie, maybe Colt Brennan will catch on in Buffalo. Thoughts?
