If they don't, and a guy they do beleive can be their franchise QB is within reach, then it makes sense to do whatever it takes (within reason) to get that guy.

Once a team gets "that guy," everything else tends to fall into place. Great QBs inspire everyone around them. It gives teams something solid to build around. It ensures consistancy. (Indy, New England, New York Giants, Steelers, etc dont need to change their offense around every couple years because they have the same QB and the system with that QB works).

This team has constantly been changing systems and coaches and quarterbacks for decades. We need stability. Getting a franchise QB is the #1 way to ensure long-term (10+years) stability.

This is key IMHO...we've had "Franchise QBs" on the roster off and on - guys we didn't keep who then won SBs w/ other teams. We blow up the offense and that's the real problem. Danny is evidently looking to blow up the offense again...two years in a row. There's little to no chance of success under such circumstances but our owner, some fans and various analysts don't want to face that reality.

uhhh, who are you speaking of? I cant think of anyONE who the redskins drafted who we let go and went on to become a "franchise QB" elsewhere. You mention QBs plural, so you must know of several. please share with us.

Im curious to know who these "Franchise" quarterbacks are too. I hope your not referring to Brad Johnson and Tony Banks. Tony Banks went on to win a SB ring from the bench as a beneficiary of arguably, if not the best defense...then 1 of the best defenses in NFL history, with the 2000 Ravens. And Brad Johnson who also benefited greatly from having an outstanding defense with the 2002 Bucs. If either of those teams had average to good defenses, neither of them would have a Super Bowl ring in their possession unless they stole it.

I completely agree w/ Aristocrat on taking Sanchez even if we have to go get him. We desperately need a franchise type QB. Im 28 years old and have been a fan since 91 and dont remeber having anyone who was even close to being a "Franchise" QB. Im not a Campbell basher but his numbers got dramatically worse as the season progressed, Im no genius but arent you supposed to get better as you become more comfortable with the system? Plus the fact that he played in the west coast offense in college, so he was somewhat familiar with the system, maybe not the terminology. I think that Campbell has the intelligence, work ethic, arm strength, and athleticism needed to be a great QB, BUT it just doesnt transfer to gameday.So if Sanchez is as good as Dilfer says and the FO agrees with him, then go get him, but i believe that we should keep Campbell and let him play til Sanchez gets familiar enough with the system to play, unless we can get a 2nd rounder for him. I believe we can get a pretty good OL or OLB in the 2nd round.
