The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

I don't think he's their first choice though, but if choices one and two are off the board at 6th overall, then sure.

Definitely not, but he's part of the overall thought process no doubt

If we draft Brandon Weeden 6th overall, I might just hang myself.

no chance that happens and honestly I dont want weeden at all but whatevs

I'd rather have a box of Weedens than a Grossman Beck sandwich.

I like Weeden, he reminds me of a stronger armed Andy Dalton.
To me he makes sense in the second round range.

weeden at 6 won't happen

Shanny has done a very good job making this team younger and better at a bunch of positions ince he took this job. His stubbornness at the QB position will be his downfall here I am afraid. He needs to get us a franchise QB, I do not care how, who or where he gets him. JUST DO IT!!!!

Of course not. However, if they mess around and move too far down and someone else grabs him then we're screwed. If he's their guy then you have to go get him. Look at the guys that went high last year? Ponder and the guy on Tenn. They both went higher than they should've. But because teams are pressed for QB play they went higher than expected.

Ideally trading back for more picks and grabbing Weeden is my choice, but what you say does worry me. I've seen rumors that Miami is interested in him, Dallas interviewed him and what better way to screw the Skins over the then to take the very QB they want in the draft? I've even heard the Patriots were interested in him. Age smage, if he was early 20's word is he would be close to the top.

If they can sign either Manning or Orton, they won't target Weeden.

I don't want Weeden at #60 let alone #6! Maybe it's harsh and unreasonable but I have no use for a 28 year old rookie...

That's more mature then the other two top flight QBs, can make all the throws they do? Again I'd take PM, trade back for more picks and take Weeden, and pick up a WR in round 2.

Nobody said anything about taking Weeden at #6 folks

from the link:

Here's an interesting theory I heard recently that makes some sense: Mike Shanahan loves Oklahoma State QB Brandon Weeden, who he coached in the Senior Bowl, and might try to trade down into the 20s of the first round to take him. Weeden is 28 and that scares a lot of teams, but he's mature and ready to play in the NFL right away, and the Redskins don't have time to wait around for someone to develop.

I remember the same stuff being said about Chris Weinke back when his old arse was coming into the league. He's mature and ready to play now. IMO if your not in the NFL then you are not learning how to play in the NFL. He may be older and mature in life but in the NFL he will still be a rookie and will be pushing 30 by the time he has any experience. No thanks...
