Change Redskins FO to fan base and you're spot on

Cousins looked legit at the combine, his passes seemed to have a lot more velocity than other QBs he was throwing with, with accuracy to match.

Have a hard time believing Cousins is the young QB they have been waiting 3 years to get their hands on. Seems like settling to me and I don't want them to settle.

Agreed. I don't mind getting Manning but getting him should not sidetrack us from also getting a stud developmental prospect for the long term. And to me Cousins is not a stud but rather is an NFL backup at best.

I guess its a matter of preference both are good prospects.
First things first: I'm not put off by Weeden's age at all.

For me Weeden and Foles are similar prospects in that they are separated from the top tier QBs in this class because of ther comparative lack of athleticism and playmaking.
I think Weeden's velocity is really underrated, to my eye Weeden provides the same plus level of arm talent. (And it was on display at the combine where Weeden looked like he had the bigger arm then Foles)
From the games I've watched Weeden seems like the more polished QB.
Weeden is a more efficient passer even though to my eye plays with a more aggressive style (maybe its scheme or mentality?)
Foles seems to throw more 'gimme' passes where Weeden seems to attack more.
Finally Weeden to my eye has much cleaner footwork then Foles.

Weeden reminds me of a less athletic Andy Dalton but with better arm talent.

Manning/Tannehill is my number 1 choice atm

QBs are such a mystery. Even finding a guy who can stick around and be a career back-up seems ridiculously hard to do. See below for the last 12 years. Drafting high does seem to improve the odds, but there are also a lot of gems laken later (Brees, Rodgers, Brady of course, maybe Dalton). Shanny gets grief for whiffing the last couple of years, but whiffing is more common that hitting.

2011 - Newton, Locker, Gabbert, Ponder, Dalton
2010 - Bradford, Tebow, Clausen, McCoy
2009 - Stafford, Sanchez, Freeman, Pat White
2008 - Ryan, Flacco, Brohm, Henne (Matt Flynn taken in the 7th)
2007 - Russell, Quinn, Kolb, BECK, (terrible year for QBs)
2006 - Young, Leinert, Cutler, Clemens, T. Jackson
2005 - Alex Smith, Rodgers, Campbell, Frye (Orton taken in the 4th, Cassell and Fitzpatrick in the 7th)
2004 - Eli, Rivers, Big Ben, Losman, Schaub (great year for QBs. Where were we?!?!)
2003 - Palmer, Leftwich, Boller, RGIII the first
2002 - Carr, Ramsey, Harrington, McCown, Gerrard
2001 - Vick, Brees, Q. Carter
2000 - The Brady 6, Tom Brady
