The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

[skinsecity]

Let's say if Shannahan drafts a rookie QB and get Orton. Let's say we have another losing season do you think he gets fired? Also, I know you don't like this but when does Daniel Snyder step in you think. I mean if this year is like this past season and we have the qb mess. Wouln't you wanna step in? I think Snyder has been patient, but Bruce Allen/Mike Shannahan are running out time. Thoughts?

I feel it may depend on how they play. If we play the same way we played last season, I can see why MS would be fired. But if we have a Panthers' type of a season, then maybe Snyder gives him another year.

If we wind up with Peyton, is it crazy that I'd consider Richardson at #6?

Just those two alone would be such a tremendous boost to our offense.

We'd actually, you know, keep some opposing coaches up at night don't you think?

Sounds feasible at first...but then you remember McNair was a tough ass dude, like the QB version of Ray Lewis. RGIII won't be the same type of mobile QB. On the scramble to pass spectrum, RGIII will be as far to the "pass" end as Vick is to the "scramble" end.

RGIII may well be the most exciting player in this year's draft, but I bet he's not among the top three QB's from this draft five years from now.

Manning teaching Foles, without the threat of a Luck behind him, tossing it to VJax and Hankerson, and Fred Davis, and dont forget Gaffney, as well as a great pass catching RB in Helu. Dont forget that Peyton Manning will make everyone on the Offense, EVERYONE, look alot better, including our line and receivers. We keep our pass rushing talent, peyton gets a much better defense than he ever had in indy, and we strengthen some pieces this offseason, making our offense much more polished and talented in the process. Oh, and we have our QB of the future in Foles.........

I definitely would not hate it if the Redskins get a Peyton Manning here, still in his mid thirties, with a chip on his shoulder. Mike Shanahan could not lose with this plan, he is instantly turning the squad into a contender, while still preserving our future in Foles, a very talented capable young QB.

Sign my ass up, I think I just talked myself into wanting peyton manning on our team.

That's good stuff 544!! I dig the optimism! Still can't understand why Peyton would want to come her, but maybe this is BA's off-season to shine???

Yes, a joke. I kind of feel bad for the Giants. The media's gonna talk about this win for 1 day and then turn their attention to the Peyton fiasco that's going to follow.

Perhaps I'm being naive but Manning's net worth is $115 million and has the money now to invest.

Snyder is a shrewd businss man with the #2 most valuable franchise ($1.55 bil), always looking for ways/people to increase the "excitement" and revenue of the product. For example, we're going to eventually need a new stadium to keep up with the "Jones" in TX.


I could see him working out a post career minority investor deal with Manning.

Uh, no.

Maybe he could replace Sam Huff on the radio broadcast team?

If we can get a healthy Peyton in FA then I dont think anyone would complain about whatever we do with out draft but RB is not our 2nd or 3rd or even our fourth biggest need aside from QB, so I would rather see them draft someone else at #6. If we already had peyton at draft time then I would want WR (only if Blackmon is there) and if not then Nest available Oline.

The thing is, we lack playmakers. I view Richardson as one of the premier ones coming into the draft. Helu and Royster are nice players, don't get me wrong, but they are not on the same level IMO.

And I'm someone who usually would go against drafting RB that high. It's just an intriguing option to me given who's likely going to be available when we pick.

That is the ultimate de-valution.

You can label it however you like.
But if the Rams draft RGIII it is what it is.

All this is moot though, because I don't think the Rams are gonna draft RGIII.
And if they do I would be more then happy for the Allen/Shanahan to steal Bradford from them on the cheap.

Who are you referring to when you say "franchise" because in St louis the decision makers who believed in Bradford are all gone?

Yeah I agree we need playmakers on this team but with that in mind wouldn't you think Blackmon is more of a playmaker?

Blackmon's not going to be there when we pick. @ 6 it looks like our options are going to be Richardson, Reiff and maybe Claiborne. If not we'll need to trade down or reach.

I'm not actually against any of those options. I just wouldn't necessarily rule out drafting Richardson at this point.

[Ruhskins]

For those that want Richardson I ask, when was the last time a premier RB started in the Super Bowl?

We've had a lot of RBs by committee in the SB for the past couple of seasons, including this year's SB. I just feel that spending a top 10 pick on a RB is not that much worth it anymore.
