Predict Who Will Be The Next Redskins QB (Not Necessarily the QB You Want)

He will be fortunate to escape S. Fl without Tar and Feathers.....

I believe the Redskins are facing another lean year in 2012 as we continue to re-work the roster. For that reason, I think the next starter will be the same starter as last year, Rex Grossman. Grossman plays 4-8 games to start 2012 while Tannehill learns as much of the offense as he can, and then we put Mr. Tannehill out there for the second half of the season.

Just say no to Grossman.

He's like a bad habit some people can't seem to kick.

It'll be something that everybody sees coming just based off the fact that are likely 4-5 options.

Unfortunately it won't be a franchise QB.

I think Shannahan will fall in love with Nick Foles this week.

The way Foles seems to be playing though, not sure Shanahan will be too enamored

Don't we have a jet? And a...practice bubble?

[skinsfaninok]

Andrew Luck

Weeden.

I can't find it now but earlier today I read how Dallas owner J.Jones (I think) interviewed Weeden because they are looking to upgrade. Don't know what that says about Romo but JJ said he liked Weeden because Weeden is not young and immature, he has a strong arm, can make all the throws, and they are looking for a QB who can pick up the play calls quickly. JJ said they were impressed with how fast he picked up the Redskins play calls.

Then there is this....

I just think Weeden is building a report with our coaching staff and showing what he can do. On top fo that he will already somewhat know our basic system prior to the draft which means he won't have too much more to learn before the season. I believe there is specific rumors being spread to throw everyone off about what we will do in the draft and in the end the coaches will take Weeden because they will be impressed with him and he will already know the system. Plus we will have a full compliment of picks to build around him.

People tend to look at Weeden's age and say he's too old for a rookie. I tell you what. A 29 year old rookie has more overall maturity than a 23 year old rookie. What I like about Weeden is that he has a great athletic background. He knows how to play quarterback. Although slightly younger than Rex Grossman and John Beck, Weeden throws the ball better and probably reads defenses better. Plus, he's being coached a watered down version of the Redskins playbook by Kyle Shanahan. If the Redskins decided to keep their draft choices and fill out the roster instead of trading picks away in order to land RG3 or Andrew Luck, then Weeden would be the QB they'd end up selecting in the 2nd or 3rd round of the draft.

Weeden could probably start from day 1. The ultimate question to ask: Is Weeden an upgrade over Beck and Grossman and if so, how much of an upgrade?

Here it is....
Random Thoughts from Senior Bowl - Dallas Cowboys Blog - ESPN Dallas

[QUOTE]1. The Cowboys are doing their due diligence regarding the quarterback position. I don't believe the Cowboys will draft one, but they did interview Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden on Sunday. Jerry Jones said if the team picks up a quarterback, it has to be a veteran who can move quickly in the offense. Weeden's age, 28, means he's a little more mature than some rookie quarterbacks and he picked up the Washington Redskins offensive terminology pretty quickly during practices here.[/QUOTE]

[GTripp0012]

You know what? I'm changing my answer to Weeden. He seems like a Shanny kind of guy. They'll be great for each other.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

If we draft Weeden we better draft another QB as well. Call me "ageist" but I don't want a 29 year old rookie at quarterback.

I think Weeden could start next season and probably for the next 8-10 seasons with little injuries and would buy the Skins time to pick up a young WR next year or with in the next few yrs to develope. I also like the QB from the North Cousins which if still available could be taken say the second round. I'll get torn apart but .... take Weeden in the 1st and Cousins in the 2nd.

For some people that might be too much Rookie QBing. lol. I'd imagine if they let our two active QB's go they will want to fill one spot with a vet, then another with a top draft pick, then possibly a late rounder or UDFA.

I also am interested *Brock Osweiler only because he's like 6-7 240. I think some reports are he does not look gangly and awkward like someone that tall would. I would look to take him maybe 3rd or 4th round. This option would give us Weeden in 1st round to ensure we got him. Maybe a WR in the 2nd, possibly take the 3rd rounder and trade back for more picks and take Osweiler for developement. Then look to fill the FS, DB, OL, LB, DL.
