Clausen? Meh.... I want to say could it be worse than Beck, but then realized it probably could be.

Ha! Someone else is also now suggesting Tannehill? As for RGIII I was certain in October he was staying, then around Thanksgiving I heard otherwise. It just keeps going back and forth with him. I really have no idea anymore if he's staying or not.

I don't think anyone could be worse than Beck

I think I said the guy I'm talking about is young (not Young, just young) so I don't believe Manning fits that mold

Cutler or Freeman would be my guess...my wishful thinking guess would be Rivers, Id give multiple 1sts for him. I would only think Norv would have to go in order for that to happen. I really hope its not Sanchise or Fitzpatrick

I'll say it again, I would take Sanchez in a heartbeat, with the right coaching he could turn out to be what has been expected all along.

Theres no way I want to break the bank for an existing QB with a few years on him.
I'd rather start fresh on the draft.

If you are referencing the Manning rumor, I just want to point out that the insider said if this was on condition of the following:


1) Indy cut Peyton and he become a FA
2) RGIII and Barkley didn't declare


Not sure you would be breaking the bank on Manning as a Free Agent really, and give him just enough contract years to groom a QB you choose to draft during that time. I would be fine with this scenario as long as it didn't mean us giving draft picks.


Now not sure about the rumor Smoot is talking about in regards to "franchise altering", but he did mention that the QB was young so I would gather he had more than just a "few" years left.

Yeah, that guy has said earlier in the year that the front office was high on RGIII and Tannehill. Not so much in Barkley. I think RGIII's decision will have a big impact on team's plans. I think if RGIII is there, we draft him.


1)RGIII stays. Rams end up with #1, we trade for Bradford. They draft Luck.
2) RGIII stays. Colts end up with #1, we draft a developmental QB in 2nd round and bring in a Peyton Manning(if healthy) if he is cut by the Colts.
3) RGIII declares. We move up in the draft to select him #2.

These are the few scenarios I see going down. Hopefully options 1 or 3 don't cost us too much.

[SFREDSKIN]

If we don't get Luck or RGIII, I would trade down and go get Foles.

Didn't the Colts owner just come out and say that if Manning plays in 2012, it will be with the Colts?

I'd say there is .00001% chance Manning will be with the Redskins next year.

The whole Sam Bradford thing is interesting... but I just don't see them dumping him after 2 seasons with a terrible supporting cast.

Is there any heat around Jake Locker? That's who I wanted the Skins to get this past draft... I like him and think he'd be a good fit for the system... I doubt the Titans have any interest in moving him... but it's a name no one has said yet... lol

What the owner says and what the owner does is two different things. I wouldn't put much stock into a owner saying anything really. If he can save 28 million, he's going to do it. I think it all hinges on Manning's health really. If he's healthy, I believe the Colts keep him one more year while drafting Luck (if they have the #1) at the same time.

If they cut him, it makes you wonder about the true state of his health.

I agree though, I don't see Manning as a Redskin unless RGIII stays, the Rams don't get the #1 spot, the Colts cut Manning and he's completely 100% healthy. This is about the only realistic scenario I see him as a Skin.
