Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?

[Chico23231]

With our current QB situation...Id sign Leinart, resign Grossman and draft a QB with our 1 or 2 draft pick. Grossman role would be one of coach to the draft pick and teacher of the system to Leinart. Have all out competion for starter between the 3.

I not of fan of his personality, but he needs a change of scenary. Young, decent arm, affordable, little risk, still has potential, etc. I would give him a shot. I think if he struggle and wouldnt be a fit, we could still get the same play out of Grossman...bridging that gap to our draft pick.

What is the ideal QB situation next year for us? Another Vet? Maybe a fail draft pick (Alex Smith, Leinhart, Quinn, Young), Draft pick? Grossman?

My 3: Grossman, Leinart, and draft pick

Bulger still gets a lot of buzz. Though I can't quite figure out why

I don't see Young or Quinn here, but stranger things have happened

I mentioned last year that Shanahan likes Leinart (like him 5 years ago at least) and that there were rumors Leinart might be with the Skins via a trade (for a late conditional pick). It's still possible, but less likely now I think. Leinart's a free agent and I don't believe he wants to be here, prefers to stay out west (Though if Jeff Fisher comes calling, that might be different)

The Alex Smith speculation I seem to have started here is based more on what I know of what type of QB may interest them (and a couple other things), but the name Alex Smith has been only casually mentioned in passing. So, if you were to ask me what FA QB they going after based on information directly given I'd tell you Leinart, Bulger, or even JaMarcus Russell before I said Alex Smith. But if you read between some of the lines (lines which I know not everyone has access to read). Similarly, when you-the collective you-asked last year about who the Redskins would draft. The conventional names I gave were Russell Okung, Eric Berry...but reading between the lines it was Trent Williams.

Having just looked through the list of RFAs/UFAs/etc.. I have a question.

Since there will be a new CBA, will somebody like Reed Doughty (who would have been an RFA going by last years format) allow us to receive compensation if he leaves still?

Depends on the rules of the new CBA.

SS, in the name of getting younger I don't know that I would sign either Atogwe or Gallery.

Still no Kyle Orton or Kolb I assume?

Price right now is way too high. We can't afford to, if we were even interested

I think Orton's price will come down but then again maybe Elway wants to keep him..

Kolb will command a 2nd but I'm not sure why, he hasnt played great in his starts

If Alex Smith was given a shot i wouldnt b*tch too much, but geez watching him play bout 5 different times over the season...he was pretty bad. It really seemed to me the 49ers offensive cordinator(s) were all pretty effing bad which didnt help. I just think it would be an automatic Grossman could play just as well. If you bring another vet in, the assumption must be he has the potential to start over Grossman. Vince Young, Matt Lienart I could see given a shot......Alex Smith is iffy IMO

Leinart makes the most sense out of all the free agents simply because he not only knows our system but he's also looking for a chance to start. I personally always liked him, but he did have a tendency to become Captain Checkdown as of late.

I know I kid about Smith going to the pro bowl and all that but I do like the prospect of him coming to Washignton as a reclamation project. The mobilitiy, the fire, the fact that he hasn't had a good offensive coordinator since Norv.

Young, I love his talent but he needs to be coddled and he won't get that here.

Russell on the other hand needs discipline and structure and here he'll get it, but personally his past scares me and he doesn't have another pro to fall back on like a year in our system (a la Leinart).

If we can't find a QB that the coaching staff isn't comfortable with in the first round then trying to revive the careers of a good sized list of top 10 QB's won't be such a bad deal.

At this point I'd take Bulger over Grossman or McNabb. He's a pretty damn good pure passer. He just needs a strong o-line in front of him. Not the playmaker that McNabb is but he can make all the throws and is very accurate.

But that's the thing. He's 33 and he needs a strong o-line. We're not there yet, and when/if we are what will he have to offer us. I'm not saying he can't help a team, just not sure it's ours

Agreed. He's HORRIBLE.

I'd rather play Beck, seriously.



Robert Gallery would be a solid short-term solution.
