Re: Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

My guess is PM goes to a dark horse that is on the verge of a SB. I would not be shocked to see him in Baltimore.

Re: Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

Quite honestly I think how upset you are about this is blinding the situation. You really think new history will never be made? In the NFL? Where 5 new teams have made the playoffs every year for like 15 years? Come on man. Anything's possible.

I am not upset I think after watching the Skins for the past 31 years I have become jaded especially the last 20 years.

You are right anything is possible. They have a better chance of winning the Super Bowl then say the LA Clippers but reality and history tells me they are not getting there at least anytime soon.

Well of course they have a better chance of making the SB than the Clippers, the Clippers are an NBA team.

Joke aside, don't sleep on the Clippers. If they can get their act together with Griffin, Paul, and Butler, they can make some noise in the playoffs.

How about we just say they have a better chance of making the SB than the Colts of this previous season.

You didn't really have to spell that out in your mind? Did you?

It was a joke. Do you really think I had to sit there and think about whether or not the Clippers are eligible for the SB?

Peyton will be great for our community as a volunteer and as a leader.

Re: Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

Come draft day I don't think it will take 4 picks to move up because they could just trade with Minnesota and force St. Louis's hand.
2012 1st
2012 3rd
2013 1st
Is what I think someone will eventually give up if it comes to that.

Re: Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

A healthy Manning would undoubtedly make a big difference, add in the draft and $50M to spend on free agents and this team could be a lot better in a hurry.

Said also the 2011 Philadelphia Eagles and the 2000 Washington Redskins...


As Redskins fans we should learn it is never that easy.

You're obviously intent on shooting down anything suggesting the Skins could be much improved in 2012.

Who pissed in your wheaties today?

Ah nobody....

I am just saying I much rather have a draft like last year and stay somewhat quiet in FA and continue to build toward being a solid team a few years down the road. Versus this optimistic (dimensionally) approach that we are only a few parts away from a dynasty.

To bring PM here is just plain dumb becasue by the time we get everything around him working he will be too old. To bring PM here is to say we are happy with 9 and 10 win seasons for the next few years then start all over again. No thank you.

Plan B is trading our first and second rounders this year and probably our first rounder next year for RG3. Which would require you to spend a lot in free agency, since you are no longer able to build through the draft, because you have to give up picks. Trust me, I wanted this option, but the moment that the possibility of a health franchise QB became available, I would much rather pick up Manning, while building through the draft.

Well, as we've already discussed you can bring in someone like PM and still draft a guy to develop behind him.

I'd prefer to keep building through the draft too, but with $50M to spend and pressure mounting to start showing some results in the W column, I could see a more aggressive offseason approach ahead.
