Who Will Be The Redskins 2011 Opening Day Starting QB?

[Hail to the Redskins]

If I had to say... I'm guessing we will be selecting 7th overall in the 2011 draft.

According to what I'm seeing, I figure that these teams will be ahead of us:

1) Carolina - 2-13 with Atlanta next week. Definite #1... but do they take Luck? I don't think that's a lock. I could see a trade down here.

2) Denver - 3-11 with Hou & SD left. Do they take Luck with Tebow there? I personally don't think so, but who knows.

3) Cincinnati - 3-11 with SD & Balt left. I think they may have a new coach & definitely take a QB here.

4) Arizona - 4-10 with Dallas & SF left. We all know they will be taking a QB... but do they trade up to get above Cincy?

5) Detroit - 4-10 with Mia & Minny left. (If they win either game & we lose both, they actually fall behind us.. decent possibilty of that actually) They aren't taking a QB here.

6) Buffalo - 4-10 with NE & Jets left. (Same as Detroit as far as falling behind us, except they aren't beating NE or NYJ). Many people say QB here, but I'm not sold. Fitzpatrick has had a very solid year and has built a great connection with WR Steve Johnson.... again who knows.

I feel that there is a huge possibility that one of these four will be on our roster in 2011:

* Andrew Luck - At best, next generation's Peyton Manning... at worst... next generation's Eli Manning. I doubt we have the guns to move up to get him regardless.

* Cam Newton - Who knows what he'll end up being... but just imagine if he IS the real deal... not just another Vince Young. I think he and Locker have the biggest All-Pro or Bust mold in the draft. If he's still there with Locker at our pick... that'd be really interesting to see.

* Ryan Mallet - Don't know if he fit's Shanny's offense, but huge arm to make all of the throws and, really, Schaub & Elway didn't run around much.

* Jake Locker - Most suited to Shanny's optimal system QB. I'm thinking Jake Plummer with a stronger arm & 4.4/4.5 speed (Have you all seen him out run safeties?)... but it seems as though he has Grossman's decision-making.

As of this moment, we would pick 9th behind SF & Dallas... but I think San Fran will beat either STL or Arizona and I think Dallas will beat Arizona tomorrow night... moving them each behind us.

Most likely Luck & Newton will be gone by our pick (my wild guess is Luck to Arizona & Newton to Cincy)... I truly think Jake Locker will be on our roster next year, but sit behind Sexy Rexy... that was what I voted.

I also think that after Luck (who I believe is the real deal)... between Newton, Mallet, and Locker... they will be compared for years as to who got the right QB and who got the bust.

These are just my opinions and could be way off... but there's the lay of the land at least.
