Someone missed the point.

The Redskins need a QB. While Grossman knows the offense, but has consistently thrown picks to opposing defense, Beck hasn't done much either. I know John Beck is trying to work behind a patchwork offensive line, but I see an inexperienced QB who holds the ball for far too long. I see a QB who overthrows his receivers. While Beck can scramble and positively lead the offense, he hasn't shown in preseason or the 9 quarters he's played in the regular season why Mike Shanahan thinks so highly of him.

Mike Shanahan is being heavily criticized for not getting a QB in the draft or free agency. I've looked at many mock drafts for 2012, and many of them have the Redskins drafting Robert Griffin III with their first round draft pick. If Mike Shanahan passes on Griffin III and doesn't upgrade the QB position for a second year in a row, then there will be a lot of angry fans.

I like Weeden but he is 28 years old, born on Oct. 14, 1983. Perhaps if we are to draft a young QB we should look for someone younger.

I liked this thread better when we were being racist, er I mean rational. Being agist is just unacceptable. You should be banned, then unbanned so you can be banned again.

Didnt say Weeden would be the best fit for the Redskins. Just how I rank the top 5 QBs. Dont think Jones is a great fit either but still think he is #2. Best fit for the Skins I think are Luck, RGIII and Tannehill in that order.

Fair enough.

You don't want Weeden he's too old. You don't want Landry Jones either, he's too shaky. He reminds me of a less accurate Marc Bulger. He'll over throw his receivers when their wide open too much. My friend graduate from OU and watches all their games. He said that you can't even compare Bradford and Landry when it comes to the NFL in terms of talent. The few times I've seen Landry play he throws picks and/or allows the opposing team a good chance to come back into the game and/or win the game.

RG3 is a brilliant man, academically and on the football field. Also the most accurate of the top QB's, a leader, and runs a 4.4. If he is there when we pick, I hope we take him.
I like Landry Jones too, I think he'll be really good.

As far as the black/white / athletic/non-athletic BS goes, I'd like to point out that Doug Williams was maybe the least athletic QB ever to win a Super Bowl, especially with the bad back.
Most athletic QB to win a Super Bowl, obviously JOEY T!!!

[kevinjames1973]

I honestly think RG3 will end up being the 2nd Qb taken. And I think a team would even be tempted to take him at #1.

[joeyt56]

I must say im on the griffin bandwagon! He can make all the throws, can run *vick ahem*, and has intangibles coming out of the whazoo!! I say take that man no matter what pick we have!! Now, what to do with the 2nd and 3rd? I like dwight jones WR in the 2nd and xavier nixon OT in the 3rs...

2. I believe that your comments about free speech do not legally wash. But I am not a lawyer so I will make a different counterargument. The Warpath is about intelligent football discussion. And judging a QB by the color of his skin is flat-out unintelligent. I have no reason to ever trust your evaluation of a QB given that I know you are smuggling the non-performance factor of race into the equation.

3. Actually for many of us race is not such a heavy topic. That is why Dirtbag was able to make a sarcastic joke. Only people with views like yours make things difficult. If you want to find the cause behind why race might be a "heavy topic," I suggest that you look in the mirror.

Agree with this 100%. Well said good sir!
