Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
With the Ravens in need of a cornerback, they've acquired former Michigan corner Doug Dutch from the Redskins, giving up quarterback John Beck in the process.
With Beck on the roster, the Redskins decided to let go one of their quarterbacks -- Colt Brennan.

Minor weaknesses dot these teams. Except for Arizona, which needs to bring in more help to really run Bruce Arians' offense.

Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
Wasn't Colt Brennan 'pre-season MVP' a couple of seasons ago?
How the "mighty" have fallen:-)
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
Yes, he was MVP of our 2007 Pre-season Super Bowl team.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
he threw those 2 sidearm tds in the preseason, i don't understand how he could possibly have been released!
in all seriousness though, it seems like the WCO would have been a good fit for him. maybe not shanahan's WCO, but he should have been pretty good at hitting the short stuff.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
Perhaps Colt can go off to the CFL to have a roster battle with fellow ex-Hawaii star Timmy Chang.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
Brennan would destroy Chang in any roster battle, barring injury. Having seen both at Hawaii, it's not even close.
I do feel glad that my gut instincts were pretty good watching UH with Brennan: Brennan looked like a good college QB, but his receivers were way underrated. I knew at least one of them would end up as a real NFL receiver, if not more, although I wasn't sure which one because it's hard to tell who's drawing attention with awful WAC camera feeds.
I was amazed when Brennan was drafted and Bess and Grice-Mullen weren't - obviously Bess ended up being the only serious NFL-quality player on the offense.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
John Beck is still in the league?
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
This is like trading a quarter for a quarter.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
More like a deutschmark for a deutschmark, or a franc for a frac.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
i'd trade a franc for a frak
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
I don't think the Dolphins want their quarter back.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
Whoa, I just got a great idea for a band name!
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
Wasn't Beck supposed to be...? You know, the next Brady Quinn. I'm confused now.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
Yeah except he's already like 28 or something because he took time off for a Mormon mission. NFL QB is a tough learning curve and it's tougher when you have a couple fewer years to learn before your body starts to get old.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
Does Doug Dutch have any talent? Anyone know anything about him?
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
Who the f is Doug Dutch?
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
The corner who was traded for Beck.
Dutch has a wiki that says he didn't receive much playing time in the Ravens pre season and he didn't make the Locomotives roster.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
And that, ladies and gentlemen, tells you everything you need to know about the magnitude of this transaction.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
Does Doug Dutch have any talent? Anyone know anything about him?
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
I think I'd rather have Beck on my roster than John Beck. A lot of talent and really came through with at least one classic album in Odelay. You could do worse with a second round pick.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
I'd rather have Jeff Beck. Still can play a mean guitar after all these years.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
Actually, it turns out the Redskins sent Dutch to the Ravens for a *case of Beck's*. This makes much more sense for the Redskins.
Re: Redskins Acquire John Beck, Release Colt Brennan
So *that's* what Haynesworth has been drinking during those conditioning tests. It all makes sense now!
