That is what a lot of folks miss here, it is all a GAMBLE, FA, Draft, etc...Some decisions are less risky then others but every decision has some level of risk.

Take even Indy, what if Luck comes out and sucks. Do you know how much potential draft picks or players they could have gotten for that pick? Probably a ton. Even their decision to stay at 1 is a risk.

I'd gladly take that risk.

Re: Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)
 

People need to understand that we are gambling this whole regime on the QB we pick. Whether it's RG3 or some guy in the 2nd round. If the QB we pick is not good then the whole thing may get blown up in a couple years. New coaches want their own players...all these picks and players some people want to keep hoarding and building with could end up out the door if they don't fit the system of the new regime. I don't know about anyone else but i would rather risk everything we are building on a QB that most of the scouts in the NFL agree on then a later round guy that comes with mixed reviews.

The Manning thing however is a different story...if he's healthy and some prefer that route then I won't argue it because when healthy he's an all time great. I just personally prefer the RG3 route...

Re: Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)
 

With RGIII, if we were to get him, I would be thrilled to get Webb from Minnesota as our backup. Personally I would like Webb regardless of our starting qb, but he would be an ideal complement to RGIII's style, and if/when RGIII went down, I don't think we would miss a beat.

In fantasy/Madden thinking, could you imagine a Wildcat formation involving RGIII/Webb/Davis/Helu. should be fun drawing up plays at least!

If. IF. Everyone always uses this word when referring to Peyton Manning. That seems like a risk to me. If he's healthy. Sure he is an all time great. But you are telling me that you aren't gambling your entire regime on this guy as well? What if he can't play at as high a level and does poorly? We most likely will not have a competent replacement for him at QB that can be plugged in immediately. How much scrutiny will Shanny face when he whiffs on his second FA QB after McNabb? You think people won't be going for his head then?

At least if he goes for a guy like RG3 and whiffs there is a precedent for that. The only draft recently where two or more QB's were drafted in the top 5 and went on to be great NFL QB's was in 2004 with Rivers and Manning. More often than not, top 5 QB's don't become elite level players in the NFL, but when they do, they carry that franchise for years. And to me, that is worth the risk instead of a old FA bandaid.

Agreed. Might as well go big or go home at this point. MS has a lot riding on this season, and I think the fan base in general needs something to rally around and to put butts in the seats.

Re: Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)
 

Even just 60% healthy, Manning is still one of the best QBs in the NFL. But that's just my opinion.

I mean we just came off a season of Rex and Beck as our QBs...so, I honestly find it difficult to be too critical of our "aggressive" efforts to improve the QB position. It's long overdue

Re: Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)
 

In looking at college games from last year, I was impressed with most of the QBs coming out last year. Luck, Rg3, Foles, Weeden, Tannehill. I've seen them all play and they all have the potential to be good quarterbacks at the next level. I was especially impressed with RG3 simply because he competed in a Big 12 conference that had Texas and Oklahoma as the heavy weights. That performance he showed against Oklahoma was one of the most impressive displays of quarterbacking that I had seen on the college level in a long time. I knew then that he would win the Heisman Trophy. And Baylor actually pulled off the upset against the Sooners in that game.

RG3 is the real deal. I don't see how he can bust like Russell or Andre Ware.

I agree with that. He most definitely would be an upgrade over what we have now. I'm just worried he won't even be able to play at 60%.

Earlier I heard a 3 way trade was possible with the vikings moving to 6, and the rams moving to 3. I thought of something that I don't think has been discussed yet. Supposedly we wanted Ponder last year with the 16 pick. What if we straight up traded the 6th overall pick for ponder and the vikings traded their 3rd overall and some more of whatever to get griffin? If the rams really want kalil (or someone else) and the vikings fell in love with griffin, I could definitely see this happening.

When the Steelers went from Cowher to Tomlinson they didnt jettison a bunch of players. I think most solidly built teams dont send players packing when they change coaches but then again most solid teams dont changes coaches that often.

The Redskins are not a solidly built organization and have had a revolving door at head coach. I think a big reason the Redskins seem to have major roster overhaul with every coaching change is because the roster isnt that good to begin with.

Like I said in another post, if RGIII is there at 6 take him but I dont want to see them get rid of a bunch of picks to get him because the team is still has a lot of holes to fill.

You just compared the Redskins situation to the most stable organization in sports...they have had 3 coaches in 50 years! And they were a winning team at the time Cohwer left that did not need any changes. I am referring to firings where it's not going well and teams clean house. Generally in those situations new people come in and they make wholesale changes.

They took a guy last year that was projected to be a 3rd or 4th round Guard in the first as a tackle in James Carpenter with guys like Gabe Caremi, Derek Sherrod, Orlando Franklin, and a whole host of other tackle prospects on the board. Their interest in Osweiller at 12 doesn't surprise me in the least.

Hey any chance you can e-mail all the other QB's and tell them they might as well pull their names out of the draft hat since they suck and to not waist anymore of anyones time.

Re: Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)
 

[quote=tmandoug1;889371]Why does not getting RGIII mean we will suck next year? We can only get better with some quality picks.

Re: Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)
 

[quote=Pigskins;889372]Our o line is very improved[/quote]

As much as I think so and liked how they created holes in the last 4 games... others here will lead you to believe this team is extremely far from play off contention.

Listen I believe this team is better then most here due to most games having been lost by only 7 points or less which would be 1 extra TD for a half decent QB who can protect the ball and two really really good WR's.

But it's like this we are either really really close and only need to go out and get RGIII to finish the product or we are miles away and have a ton of needs. We can't afford to throw away valuable picks which would give us hopefully valuable starters across the board for one luxury pick... especially if we are no where near contending.

Re: Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)
 

[quote=That Guy;889390]I'd gladly take that risk.[/quote]

No different then any of us since we need a QB. No different then I'd take a risk on RGIII at #6, but he won't be there. and to move up will be too costly.

It's already been said that the Skins supposedly or might have or something to that effect have offered:

2012: 1st, 2nd,3rd.
2013: 1st.

^to me thats too much. No way is he worth all that. I was against it when it was supposed to be this years 1st and 2nd and next years 1st and 3rd. Why would I want the team to simply shuffle the deck as to how and when those picks get distributed.

Re: Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)
 

If the idea is to trade up to draft RGIII, and to deal Orakpo to replace one or two of those high round draft picks, then I really don't see the big deal to be so critical on moving up. Even if we didn't deal Orakpo away to recover what we'd give up for RGIII, I'd say while it's a gamble, it's one that needs to happen. I'm certainly fine with picking up Peyton Manning and drafting a Tannehill or Nick Foles. That might still happen, but I would not be upset if the Redskins did what they could to get RGIII or even Luck.

Re: Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)
 

Id say that without a turnover machine in rex grossman, and a bunch of boneheaded mistakes that were made last season, and without the two best offensive players being potheads, Id say we were definitely capable of ending up .500 or even a couple games better last year. I think its clear that this team is only going to get better in the next couple of years.

All things considered, I believe with Manning OR Rg3, and a couple good FA signings, maybe a good WR and a good CB, that we are definitely in contention for the NFCE title this upcoming year. I also believe that our young players are going to start showing their worth these next couple years, and some of the young guys we are borderline on will impress us all soon. All it takes is stability and decent QB play. We have been lacking both recently.

Ultimately I'd prefer to go the Manning route too, save the picks, and spend wisely (and be aggressive) in free agency.

Sounds like interest is heating up around the league. I wonder if anything has changed regarding his arm strength.

Watching Jeff Saturday at the combine, you could tell he was really chomping at the bit when defending PM. He said he has no doubt PM is going to play this year, and play well. I know they're close and he could just be defending his friend, but at the same time it's safe to assume he knows more about how his recovery is going than most.

How valuable are our draft picks on a team without a QB? People around here are more then willing to let McIntosh and Landry walk, both of whom cost us a first round pick. No one shed a tear either when Rogers walked and we couldn't wait to get rid of Campbell. Thats 4 first round picks and a 2nd in that group.

Also who shed a tear when Thomas and Kelly left, or Chad Rhinehart? Two 2nd's and a 3rd right there.

The stock up strategy is akin to thinking like the Dolphins in 2008 when they passed on Matt Ryan for the smart pick in Jake Long then handled the QB situation by drafting a promising second tier prospect in Chad Henne who is now all but gone. And sure maybe Ryan hasn't won a playoff game but last I checked the Falcons are winning games while the Dolphins are picking in the Top 10.

You know what all these draft savy teams have that allows them to stock up on picks? Quarterbacks. Franchise game changing QB's. Unless you're lucky odds are you won't get that from Tannehill, Foles, Weeden, Cousins, etc. And you certainly won't get it from Kyle Orton.

Who your quarterback is doesn't change how valuable a draft pick is.

I find it endlessly fascinating that you're all about the game changing quarterback, and yet you keep trotting out the Matt Ryan-in-2008 argument. It's mind boggling to me that you don't think that Tannehill, Foles, Cousins, Moore etc can be as good as Matt Ryan. If anything, the Falcons have proved that you sure can win 10 games a year with Tannehill or Foles.

The Falcons had a really good 2008 draft (Ryan, Lofton, Biermann, etc), one that helped to rebuild their franchise. Thing is, the Dolphins also had a good draft and that 2008 draft ended up being very weak for teams that didn't focus on running backs or quarterbacks, where it has produced very well.

But what you're totally forgetting about the Falcons is that despite having one of the smartest personnel guys in the league in Dimitroff, that's a team that isn't in a great cap situation anymore, hasn't fixed their defense, and is now caught hoping to a higher power that there's more to Matt Ryan than what they've gotten so far.

Ryan was great early in his career when the Falcons needed someone to make them forget Michael Vick. But now the Falcons only play is to pay Matt Ryan like an elite quarterback, and if he can't take Roddy White and Julio Jones and go light up the scoreboard, well, Brees and Newton are going to light up the Falcons for the next five seasons.

Blegh. That's a crappy scenario. I prefer RG3 right now, because the only way Manning makes sense is if we take someone to groom behind him.

What if he goes down 3 quarters into the season, having led us to a 9-3 season, and our only other options are Rex and Beck? And we get into the playoffs but get destroyed in our first game and we end up with a late first round draft pick, thus making the cost to move up and get our guy even greater?

Re: Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)
 

Tripp the argument about Matt Ryan was more about passing up a chance at the first tier guys and thinking you can get the same type of quality in the second round with guys like Henne.

In 2012 terms it's like saying that instead of getting RG3 you can get the same quality player with Tannehill.

RGIII is far and beyond Matt Ryan as a prospect.
