anyone can drop into a cover 3 or any other defensive play which requires no talent at all. i dont think you can use the "talent" thing as a huge knock on moore because his strongest points (preperation and reading) are not effected by talent which would be moore's arm vs. the defenders coverage & athleticism. (not to say his arm is a weak point... he is deadly accurate too and can get it downfield)

i'd be inclined to start a vet like rexy and pick up moore as a project next year... hes a damn good project to have. he's facing Utah in his bowl game and their top pro prospect is a corner so we'll see how he does tonight.

Moore looks like a good fit for the Skins offense. He doesn't seem to have a cannon arm, but I think that's often overated. He's not that tall is he? He would be a good late round pick.

I think McNabb is done here.he will be traded or released.Grossman and Beck will be here in the off season.the first round pick in the 2011 draft should be a QB like Ryan Mallett,Jake Locker or Nick Foles.all these guys are big and have rocket arms.if the rookie is ready,he should start.

Nick Foles plans to return to Arizona Wildcats in 2011

Well at least you listed a potential first round pick unlike some other people around here (*Cough* Kellen Moore *Cough*)

That's a dirty move Dirtbag. Well the way I see it, everything else we have done to try and find a franchise QB has failed. What do you have against him?

Per Shanahan, McNabb is either a liar or even dumber than we all thought (no 2nd overtime?). However, he has an opportunity to compete for a backup job in 2011.

Redskins Insider - Shanahan would welcome McNabb as a backup next year

You know, after the Haynesworth fiasco, i honestly think Shanahan would pay 17MM to keep McNabb as a backup in 2011 if no one meets our trade demands.

Scary but true.

If I avoided dirty moves I would never win, kind of like Kellen Moore throwing directly into tight windows.

Certainly would have enough cap space to afford it.

• RB Clinton Portis: -$5,645,500
• LB London Fletcher: -$4,900,000
• QB Donovan McNabb: -$4,750,000
• CB DeAngelo Hall: -$4,400,000
• DT Albert Haynesworth: -$3,400,000
• C Casey Rabach: -$3,000,000
• NT Ma'ake Kemoeatu: -$2,500,000
• OG Derrick Dockery: -$1,565,000
• DE Adam Carriker: -$1,420,000
• OG Artis Hicks: -$1,400,000
• DE Phillip Daniels: -$1,250,000
• DE Vonnie Holliday: -$1,250,000
• TE Fred Davis: -$555,000
• DE Andre Carter: $2,909,998

Carriker, Davis, Fletcher, and Hall are all but guranteed to come back. Ma'ake and God forbid Rabach are probably coming back. Still the cuts would come on top of a projected $30 million of cap space.

He must be too bad at seeing as he has over 70 TDs and 8 INTs in two years...

Back in 2005 I had a friend that told me I was stupid when I said that Jason White would probably be a late second day pick. White had won a Heisman while throwing for 75 TD's and 7,000 yards the previous two years against Big XII competition. White went undrafted.

Back in 2003 I was a wide eye kid that couldn't understand why one of my favorite QB's Ken Dorsey wasn't going to be a first round pick. He had 76 TD passes, a national championship, and a 38-2 record as a starter. Dorsey was a 7th round pick.

Colt Brenanan in his final two years, playing against the same programs as Kellen Moore threw 96 TD passes.

I have no problem drafting Moore next year as a late round project. However making him Plan A and anointing him as our QB of the future is just insane.
