Week 15: Redskins vs Cowboys Gameday thread

[Arrrgh!]

The problem with going for a QB like McNabb is that you're banking on a big "Maybe" as opposed to someone who breeds confidence (read: plays with consistency). But I'm hopeful that things are getting sorted, finally.

I love how the Bradshaw inc. Are not even saying one thing about the Skins game. All of those haters want to just sweep it under the rug lol.

**** all those "experts"

They cant say shit because Rex had a VERY GOOD game and actually threw TDs in the red zone!

Not only that, the defense looked pretty good considering the score.

It's kind of tough to keep the points down when the other team starts inside your own half of the field.

Boy does everybody really think we don't have a 2nd this year because of the McNabb trade? We gave them our 2nd from last year, which turned into Nate Allen for Philly.

id rather draft a qb in the 2nd round or later to develop for a year or 2. i dont like jake locker much and im not sure mallett would be a good fit here. not too mobile.

When do these second round QB's work out? Drafting a QB in the second round is a protective projection. The last quality second round QB was Drew Brees and he was drafted 32nd overall which today would qualify as a first round pick, and before that it was Brett Favre.

These days if you're lucky you get a second round QB thats on par with Chad Henne. Basically the best QB's come from either the first round or random spots late in the draft and you don't bank on those guys because if you're dense enough to do that you end up with Troy Smith as your franchise QB

At the very least scouts are good at identifying the best QB prospects year in and year out which is usually why they're all gone by the time the second round rolls around. If we're going to draft a real QB of the future we're going to do it right and take one in the first round.

i could counter and say who was the last 1st round qb that we drafted to make it? jason campbell? patrick ramsey? heath schuler? we havent done a good job at all at drafting qbs high the few times we have.

my basic point is that id rather draft a different position in the first round and get a guy to develop behind whoever our starter is, whether it be in the second round or later. im really not sold on anyone but luck as an elite qb this year, and hes only a redshirt sophomore this year.

Cant really be mad for the last pick. There were 13 seconds left with no timeouts and nowhere near field goal range. No chance to throw the ball down the middle of the field and clock it. Just not enough time left when they started that drive w/ no timeouts. Grossman made our offense look like it belonged in the NFL, doesnt make McNabb look very good. He will be on the Vikings or Cardinals or something next season. Know what i liked about this game? We didnt have to watch the typical 5 dirt balls thrown at the feet of open receivers by #5.

O line looked good the second half. That's your difference, always is with the skins. If they play like that next year with Trent Williams being a year older, draft another stud lineman in the early rounds and you can stick Danny Wuerful back there and win.

shanny seemed to be really pleased with Rex today
