Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

I still think it's not Manning, not Orton, nor Flynn that we're getting in FA. My gut says we're adding one maybe two QBs before the draft. But not those guys mentioned above

Like who? Hoyer, Josh Johnson? Who are some of the under the radar guys?

Josh Johnson would likely not be a starter

Nor would Jimmy Clausen for that matter

Yeah I believe Hoyer is the main under the radar guy not being talked about

annnnnnnddddddd Mark Sanchez!

Seriously though, I just feel like Manning's not coming here because I don't get the sense there is a strong "passion" to bring him here from the group of decision makers. They're probably more passionate about Orton (they did nearly acquire him twice after all), relatively speaking. And...truthishly...Hoyer and Clausen are two names that always kind of stay in the conversation while others tend to come and go

So I could see trade a 3rd for Hoyer, sign Clausen, use the 2nd to get a Foles/Cousins type

I know rex isn't the best, but you think clausen is a better back-up than rex? Rex would be a safer back-up IMO than jimmy. Their is no time to develop jimmy clausen and to see if it works. They need to win now. I could see hoyer possibly. Dont know if shannahan is going to trade any picks unless for RG III, who I dont think we are getting. We just have to wait and see. If they were interested in hoyer, I'm pretty sure that would be out their already.

So, basically, it's Weeden and Grossman next year?

It's going to be ugly if that's the case I think.

This plan is sort of like settling for a few things off the dollar menu instead of springing for the Big Mac that you really want...

Giving up a 3rd rounder for someone that wasn't even drafted and hasn't done much outside of pre season doesn't make much sense to me. Clausen doesn't even belong in the NFL. These two could be worse than Rex and Beck.

it's about future potential with Hoyer really. He's extremely well regarded by many NFL teams perhaps more so than Flynn in some cases.

Think of Clausen as Clemens from last year. Low risk option.

I live in New England and listen to a lot of talk radio and we have late night sports talk on TV on Sundays. I can tell you the people (beat reporters, ex-players, etc) who cover and comment on the team feel that the team believes in Hoyer to a huge degree. Like they think they're sitting on a major asset, way better than Cassel was. And this isn't just "the coaches say he's good" talk, or a smokescreen, they are talking about a palpable sense they get from everywhere in the organization about Hoyer.

There is talk now that they are considering putting the first round tender on him. If you think about what that means, it means they are thinking it might not be worth risking losing him for "only" a 2nd round pick. And this is a guy who can walk for nothing in a year. So, essentially they are debating whether one year of Hoyer as a back-up is worth more than a 2nd round pick.

Just FWIW.

Yeah he won't be easy to get, for sure

He won't, but my point was also about how good he must be for them to value him so. And that's not out of the blue, I thought he was a huge sleeper in the draft when he came out.

I think the guy needs to put something on film besides pre season games. If NE does that then good for them. No one is taking that bait.

So, you are saying the sources you have are telling you that our front office, of the washington redskins.............ahem, let me clear my throat, ahem.......okay.....ugh, uh uh hmmmmmmmm, alright, Im ready, is more passionate about Kyle orton, hold up, let me wipe the bit of vomit from around my crusty bottom lip........., ok, as I was saying, they are more passionate about Kyle Orton, than Peyton Manning.

If that is the truth, than the ego of the front office, sorry to say, is completely out of fvckin hand.

Well, lemme say something. Your sources ****IN SUCK. If that is the truth, than the ego of the front office, sorry to say, is completely out of fvckin hand.

Boy, this really came out of left field. I'm not a huge fan of Orton either but it's a moot point if Manning can't return. Besides, even if we sign Orton it doesn't mean they plan on him being here long term.
