Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?

[SBXVII]

I'd rather give Chris Simms a shot vs. Vince Young. Chris Simms anyone? He played in Tampa under Gruden so he knows the WCO.

Edit: 2011 NFL Free Agents

Now that we passed entirely on a Quarterback this year, it seems almost inevitable that we draft our quarterback in the first or second round next year. The guys who seem to be gaining the most hype as potential first rounders next year are Luck and Barkley as well as Nick Foles and Landry Jones.

Luck obviously would be ideal situation number one, but otherwise, what do people know about the other guys and how they could potentially fit into our system.

Barkley reminds me of Clausen or Leinhart from what I have seen, and appears like a potential bust. Foles looks like a statue when he throws and comes from the spread offense. Jones apparently needs to work on his mechanics.

Lets hope for luck at this point.

This is interesting...
NFL.com news: Even with Ponder in mix, Vikes appear destined to add McNabb

Vikes still interested in McNabb.

Maybe it's hellacious wishfull thinking but what if....

The Vikes still want McNabb and were willing to pick up Ponder for our coaching staff in order to trade for McNabb and possibly our next yrs 2nd round pick? or god forbid one of the drafted players we took for the Vikes combined with McNabb to trade for Ponder?

It's way out there I know. But wouldn't it be weird if both teams came up with some concocted trade idea for later when teams are able to trade. I'm not sure what we would have drafted that the Vikes would have needed or would have requested we drafted for them to trade with McNabb, but I think it's funny MS said they have a plan at the QB position.

When it was rumored we'd be lucky to get a 4th for mcnabb I don't see any chance at all with this idea and hope we don't either. Ponder is not worth the money he's gonna be getting much less for us to also lose a 2nd pick next year on the guy.

Your probably right, but what if? we can get rid of McNabb, not have to worry about Beck starting, do whatever with Grossman, and Have a Rookie QB Ponder either starting or waiting in the wings learning? Most of everyone here were hoping the team would pick up a Rookie QB for the future, heck they were even willing to settle for a late draft Stanzi.

Atleast this way if it were a possibility we wouldn't have to worry about VY being our QB.

I'll agree with you I'm reaching and most likely Ponder won't be apart of any trade scenario's.

[SBXVII]

I'm not saying their HOF QB's but the Vikes have;
Rhett Bomar; 6-2, 225lbs, 1yr exp at 25y/o.
Minnesota Vikings: Rhett Bomar

Joe Webb; 6-4, 220lbs, 0 yrs exp at 24y/o.
Minnesota Vikings: Joe Webb

Again I'm not saying they are great but they do have 2 young QB's who have good size. I could see them wanting McNabb to help with the developement of the two they already have and the whole Ponder pick was to be used in a trade for McNabb.

I know I'm just wishfull thinking. But it would be pretty cool if it was.

carson palmer anyone?

Remember when we offered a 1st and a conditional third the following year that could have also become a 1st for Ochocinco and the Bengals said it wasn't enough? Yeah, we're not getting Palmer. Even if we wanted him.

[diehard]

Why didn't they just draft Mallett or Stanzi if they wanted to go through the growing pains of bringing in another veteran? Sheesh.

[skinsfaninok]

Not just because SS but I think Vince young makes the most sense. I've been saying all along that Beck is already 30 so what future does he have? I don't know how true the rumors are but Kyle Orton has been mentioned over the weekend as a possibility

[redsk1]

I'm fine w/ Rex for now and maybe Beck. If Beck starts we could be in line to draft Luck next year.

[skinsfaninok]

You guys need to chill on the Andrew Luck stuff.

We can not trade with Minnie for Ponder if the Commish finds out this was pre-arranged he will hand out HEAVY fines.

Right now they can't trade Ponder, but later when the CBA is finalized and teams are allowed to trade players it could be done. And your right there would be a heafty fine if the NFL found out, but has to be proven that the deal was made when they could not. But let me ask you this.... it's only against the rules to talk to a player who is under contract. Nothing says teams can't talk to teams about contracted players and nothing says teams can't agree to trade players now and trade the actual players later.

The Lockout only means teams can not talk with players, can not trade players, and can not coach players. Nothing says owners or coaches can not talk to each other and nothing says teams or coaches can not come to an agreement so later when trades are allowed they can swap players.

^ lol we are not trading for ponder guys. That would be insane, plus he's not any good. The Vikings made a horrible decision that they were pressured into.
