haha no it's not because Ainge is from an SEC school or is taller than Booty... I for one just see Ainge as an overall better QB.  I know Booty played at USC and played pretty well considering he followed Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart, but injury or no injury, I still believe Erik Ainge, from what I've seen on the field against the opponents he has gone up against, handles himself just a little differently... especially these last two years.  Now I'm not saying that Booty isn't a good QB, he is a very good QB.  As far as my list goes, I just think Ainge will get drafted before Booty, but I could be wrong.  It'll be sad/slightly funny though if every QB except Colt Brennan gets drafted somewhere.

So "UGA fan" doesn't have any real reason why he doesn't think Colt will get drafted, that's basically what he's saying.

And don't say the senior bowl, Colt had a decent showing in the senior bowl.  What did he play, half a quarter?  I'll tell you, the offensive line didn't do very good in giving him many opportunities to show his stuff.  Same w/Woodson....then they made some 2nd half adjustments and Ainge was able to shine fairly easy, although I have to say, he made some pretty bad looking passes near the end.

Colt won't go any later than the 4th round, but I fully expect him to be taken earlier than that.  You don't set the record for all-time touchdowns, be a heisman finalist and end up undrafted.  Are you sure you're a football fan?  Cuz you seem somewhat uninformed.

 letsgobows, if Colt does go by the 4th round or sooner he will be in some decent money.  I believe that he has to turn some heads at the combine or there is a good chance he will go in a later round or not at all.   It has been a strategy for many teams to not draft a player that they want or are interested in that is on the board in the late rounds and then invite them to camp later for a tryout.

This way they get the player to come into camp without a contract.  It would not be a big deal if a lot of teams pass on Colt while they can fill other more pressing needs and then pick him up for a song and dance by an invite.   He has a good chance to get on with a number of teams or he may decide that being a 3rd stringer is not worth it and head North of the border for a year or two.   He needs to put on weight and muscle, 186 is too light.  If he can show up at the combine with more weight, and not lose any speed this will be to his benefit.  Right now he has to go in ready to impress.

Letsgobows,

Don't get your panties all in a wad because Georgia smacked Hawaii's ass in the Sugar Bowl and now Brennan isn't looked quite as highly upon as he once was.  Now actually I do have real reasons, shall I name them?

YES, the Senior Bowl is a reason.  He played in the 1st half and got picked off.  He did better in the 2nd half considering he didn't get picked off.  However, the defensive schemes in that game were so simple no QB should have panicked like he did... he couldn't make the proper reads, NOR could he through the ball effectively down field.  When he tried to throw the ball down field the pass sailed.   He throws with that awkward sidearm throw of his and doesn't have the arm strength to cut it in the NFL.

I know his O-Line didn't block worth a damn in the Sugar Bowl but to me, and many others, given he was hit, he still didn't show the toughness it takes to make it in the NFL.

I respect the fact that Hawaii is your team and apparently CB could do no wrong while he was down there, but the fact is he really isn't that great of a quarterback.  Remember, Timmy Chang put up great numbers too.  Really points towards the word: System.  Sorry your bubble has been burst, but that's how it is.  If Colt Brennan gets drafted, I will be very surprised to say the least.  And even if he does, somehow I doubt we'll ever see him on the field.  Remember the all time wins leader, David Greene?  Yes, he went to Georgia and was very successful, but do you see him on the field?  No, it's because of his arm strength. 

So this isn't a Georgia vs Hawaii thing, it's a reality thing.

UGAFan618, You will be surprised Colt will be drafted.

 If Colt Brennan gets drafted, I will be very surprised to say the least.

Get ready to be surprised.     He will be drafted.

It's good to see that Colt won the accuarcy drill at the Arizona QB challenge (State Farm College Football All-Star Challenge).

He won the 'accuracy' and the "routes" competition, and finished 2nd in the 'scramble drill'.  

This can give him a psychological edge & help him entering the combine.

Just curious nonbcs, are you British? I notice you spell defense with a "c". This being a sports forum I seem to recall your spelling of this the same way in other posts.

BTW Booga, I've refrained from voting and posting in this thread 'til now because I didn't get to see the Senior Bowl, or the accompanying associated activities. Too lazy to look them up too.

 czt1dave, Colt did not do well, as you now know he had an int and a sack, both were bad.  He did not do much for the South or show much of himself.  He had three passes that were lame ducks that did not go anywhere near the receivers.  He was tapping the ball and not getting it out fast...... hence the term 'burping the baby'.

Based on what Colt has shown and done the
