Shame..... there's a reason Colt is a backup, but I was really hoping he'd have at least one more night in the sun and it would be tonight over the Eagles.  His body just isn't built to withstand the pro level.  Fucking sucks.  Get healthy, Colt.  Maybe get another year or two of salary as a backup and then become a bad ass coach.  Hook em'.

I mentioned as much in another thread (or two). 

He is a great 2nd string QB. He is great in the film room and is usually pretty good in the game he comes off the bench. Sometimes he's also good in the following game, but his body can't last more than 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 games. 

The crappy thing about him having to take over the starting position has shown that he just can't physically handle the NFL game. While on the sidelines he was pulling in over $2M in NFL salary alone, not county appearance fees and minimal endorsements. He could have done that for another 2 to 5 years, but since coming on he has look extremely limited and now he's broken a bone in his leg spinning after slipping and it might make the Redskins (and other NFL teams) take a long look at how valuable he really is. This injury could likely end his NFL career and speed his transition to coach or whatever he is considering next.

He was injured quite a bit in college, but was usually able to play through those injuries, but the less he was on an NFL field, the longer his career would last. Unfortunately he became a starter behind a horrible offensive line and well...

Get well soon, Colt.

Stupid post....

 

It was a freak leg whip type injury and nothing to do with his "body not being built for the NFL".

He has done more what he has than most.  With the tools Mother Nature gave him, he's excelled.  Not much more you can ask of him.  If he's done, no shame in that.  Collect those checks.  Be smart with your money.  Enjoy the ride.  Then get your ass back to the Hill Country and start coaching and enjoying yourself.  Gig for the LHN on the side.

The Redskins are a clown car of an organization:

The more Colt keeps getting paid to be a backup NFL QB and just hold a clipboard on the sideline the better.

Stay healthy Colt.... Hook'em 🤘

Colt has been somewhat fragiler than a top-rate QB shoud be. Not sure about HS injuries, but he started with the neck/shoulder stinger thing as a RSFreshman against KSU. 

Still, as noted, getting a 7-figs annual gig to stand on the sideline and hold a clipboard gotta be a Good Thing™.

Name a better job in the world than backup QB in the NFL
Being Richard Branson's son? I mean, dear old dad won't live forever, but in the meantime he finances all sorts of adventures and extreme sports (charity of course) for his grown boy.
