I See QB Rumors (2012 QB Thread: The Sixth Sense)

[CultBrennan59]

Some people here need to understand that franchise QB's are the hardest thing to find in the NFL.

When we offer up Orakpo, we're offering up a player that can be found draft, after draft, after draft. Pass rushers can be found not only in the first round, but a very few some have been found in the later rounds and undrafted.

When we are offering up 3rd, 4th, 5th rounders for a potential franchise QB. Picks (3,4,5) that are worth less and less in value for a potential QB, the Key to winning in this QB driven league; you make that trade, screw those picks for this year. This is the year you get that franchise QB at whatever cost it is.

Redskins Quarterbacks Ahead “Proceed With Caution” by Robert Ragan (aka “RexKelly”) « The Session


Im worried about Peyton's health but if he is good I say try to grab him.

I love RG3 but we need so much Im not sure if trading up is a good idea.

I think its going to be Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman in 2012.

Absotively. And people also fail to realize that when you trade a high-priced player, you save his contract, which gives you cap room to sign a replacement (whether at his position or elsewhere).

Trading Orakpo would result in a net hit of about 1 mil this year, save almost 6 mil in 2013, and then he would be a FA anyway and command a contract that will probably average 9-12 mil per year. That is cap space the team can use.

Probably won't be a popular choice to bring up, but you could probably easily sign Anthony Spencer with that dough, with leftovers. Now, I don't think he is in Orakpo's class, but is the drop-off enough to dissuade you from getting a franchise QB? Not me.

I agree 100%. I don't understand how some people think we're going to give up some marginal picks and a ham sandwich and trade up for a franchise qb. If we trade up, it's gonna hurt. But it's worth it to get the franchise QB. The only disclaimer I have is that if you trade away lots of high picks, you sure as hell better land a franchise qb and not a Jason Campbell
