does he play in a really weak conference? Everyone makes a big deal about Quinn and Smith but nothing about Brennan and he had like 55 TD's

He's in a weak conference and plays weak competition. He's in a gimmicky run-n-shoot offense in which utterly mediocre quarterbacks always rack up outrageous statistics. Long before Colt Brennan there were the run-n-shoot quarterbacks Andre Ware and Dave Klingler. Ware stole a Heisman trophy and Dave Klingler threw 54 TD passes in 11 games. But Ware was never more than a 3rd stringer in his brief NFL career, and the Bengals wasted a few years trying to train Klingler to play football, which he failed to do. Thanks to guys like them and Hawaii's Tommy Chang, no one takes run-n-shoot QBs seriously.

Cus whoever plays for Hawaii throws over 4,000 yards and 40 TDs. Timmy Chang is the all-time college leader in passing yards, but he went undrafted cus anyone would start for Hawaii for four years would shatter every passing record. The difference in this case is that Brennan is consider an NFL talent, but he just didn't get the attention because there's so many QBs at big programs like Quinn, Smith, Leak and Tebow, Russell, Booty, Longshore, McCoy, Tate, and Henne.

1. weak conference
2. He's in a program where they throw it 50-60 times a year. Sure his numbers are impressive, but put Troy Smith, Brady Quinn, etc. at Hawaii and they have similar numbers I bet.

Because he plays for Hawaii and everyone on the east coast was asleep when he played his games. Therefore he received no publicity at all except on the west coast. in addition he plays in a weak conference against weak competition.

i'm guessing that is with the aid of fact Colt is deemed to be a "equipment quarterback" contained in the run-and-shoot offense, even as Tebow has been rather lots "Mr. each thing" for the Gators this year. Brennan has lots to coach to a great form of human beings while he is going in the process the integrate and all of the different comments earlier than next year's draft. At this factor, there are greater questions than solutions, yet that does no longer imply that he can't make it contained in the NFL. If he's drafted by a collection it quite is waiting to make the main suitable use of his skills, even as helping him get used to the fee and p.c.. of the NFL (that is important), he has a great shot of carving out a sturdy occupation for himself contained in the NFL. As for Tebow, confident he's had a great year, yet I doubt that he will have yet another year like this one, extremely if Florida are waiting to recruit some sturdy working backs to take the strain off of him. yet you will desire to comprehend that his play this year has been rather exciting to observe (plus do no longer overlook that he confirmed his sturdiness by enjoying injury). as a result, if it variety of feels that human beings have jumped on his bandwagon, you could no longer blame them rather, are you able to?

Because his team is being compared to Vince Young's previous years team. Hard to live up to undefeated national championship and follow that with 3 losses and a crappy bowl game.

I think he will be a top 5 pick. Its Hawaii, they don't get the national media attention.
