I agree with this comment. Mike Shanahan could have drafted Blaine Gabbert or Ryan Mallet and both of them would be better than what the Redskins have now with Grossman and Beck. In my countless years as a Redskin fan, I've never witnessed a season where no one could play the quarterback position. Maybe Heath Shuler was the only one I can think of that played just as poorly as Beck and Grossman has played this season. Grossman is turnover machine. I've never witnessed a QB turn the ball over so much.

But I understand that the Redskins drafting for defense for Ryan Kerrigan. They needed that extra pass rush considering where the defense finished in the first year in the 3-4. Now, Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan need to badly and desperately draft a quarterback.

Um, Gabbert would have been purely an "upside" pick. That is, his on-field results might not be good at all, but simply because he's young, he could "develop". He is far worse than Ponder or Dalton right now. He was even benched for McCown.
