I don't give Colt any passes when he plays terrible because he is a lifer at QB and was one of the most decorated QBs in College History. It just goes to show just because a QB is a college stud, it doesn't necessarily mean it will translate into the NFL when you are playing against elite defensive players on every snap. In college, you might only be playing 1 to 2 NFL level defensive players every week. In the NFL, you face at least 11 of them on the field.
With that being said, Colt didn't have a bad game Sunday in my opinion. It wasn't record setting or even great, but it was not bad. He made some really good throws (even if they were dropped) and had the offense moving well in a few series.

This team really needs some weapons on offense before Joe Thomas gets so old he will be playing LT from a wheel chair. We can't afford to wait 5-7 years for some production on that side of the ball. I mean we have been waiting since 1999 with 2007 being the exception. | |
