Re: Redskins trading out of the 4 spot?

Are you guys freaking morons? Did you even watch a single Redskin game last year? Our quarterback was getting tackled as he was dropping back to pass. How is drafting an unproven rookie quarterback going to improve this situation. You cannot compare the current Redskin situation to the Jets with Sanchez and the Ravens with Flacco. Both of those teams have a solid base around the quarterback and in both cases Sanchez and Flacco do little more that manager the offense. Campbell is not an all-pro, but right now, he is the best option the Skins have. Draft a quarterback at #2 and groom him. The first round pick has to be a franchise tackle.

So if I read your post correctly, folks who believe the Skins should draft an elite QB at #4 are "freaking morons".

We have been fortunate for the better part of the last decade to have to bookend OT's in Samuels and Jansen. We used high picks for both. What it gave us was average standings every year, so if we upgrade our line without grabbing a solid qb we may never be in position again to get the qb we need.
I understand what you're going through. One day I'll think that Campbell could be the next Schuab and we should whatever we can to support that possibilty. Obviously one of the most logical ways to do that is to draft Okung.

Then I have some days where I think Campbell is basically David Garrard where the only way we have a chance to win Super Bowl is only if everything goes absolutely perfect. I mean you saw it with Garrard in 2008. After a pro bowl year the team struggled at the tackle position so they thought all right lets sign a top tier LT and draft two promising young tackles. Unfortunately the result was quite average when it came to the passing game. Running game, awesome but passing wise not so much.

Then I think well the Falcons didn't do much work on their line and did awesome drafting a QB of the future while implementing a competent offensive system, but on the other hand the Dolphins went out of their way to fix their lines and went from 1-15 to a playoff team but they lucked out when Pennington got released, then again Campbell could easily be considered on par with Pennington during his first season with the Dolphins.

At this point my mind is a mess to the point where I just want to see what the new regime does and support it so long as it's within reason, which is what will likely be the case.

No more a moron then those who think that Shanahan will simply forgo the OL, draft a QB at #4 and turn him lose in the same damn OL. Pretty stupid thought huh.
