2012 QB Prospects (Part 2)

[The Goat]

I think the Colts strategy is genius. Sure Manning may come back for awhile and perform at a high level, and he will be able to mentor Luck during that time and ready him for the big stage.

It's too bad our coaching staff doesn't have this kind of foresight. It seems like we're "reactive" to circumstances rather than proactive...

The more i watch barkley play, the more I want the skins to do whatever it takes to draft him. I hope we can snag him just with our pick, but we might have to give up a pick to move up. The guy is as good as any i have seen come out in 7 or 8 years, imho.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I dont ever think there is a safe bet but I would be happy with either of the 3 also.

I say if P. Manning is released, we sign him and draft a QB he can teach. Just my 2 cents. As far as drafting a QB I do not know enough about what qualities MS wants in a QB to even speculate as to where or who we should draft at that position.

Well i am all for signing him, even if he has to play with a cane. As far as teaching, he looks like a bad teacher, just look at Curtis Painter.

Wisdom of teaching can only go as far as physical ability can take you. A 1st round QB draftee will have a much higher physical skill set than Curtis Painter.

I think my skill set is close to painters....

Sounds like a winning recipe to me. Can I be your agent?

[skinsfaninok]

No chance Manning is cut

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

The problem with both Barkley and RGIII is that either or both of them may stay in school one more year.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Ya never know bud. I am not staking my claim that it will happen just throwing out the possibility. It is the NFL you never know what the hell these guys are going to do. If I were the owner/gm of the Colts, I don't cut him or even trade him till he retires.

Agree 100% I'm tired of hearing of all the holes we need to fill Before we take a QB. Time is now

I do want a quarterback. I said draft Luck, Barkley or RGIII if they are availaible.

But to trade into the top 3 would take a lot of draft choices, and I hate when teams trade away their next year's first round draft choice. This QB class is pretty deep and we could get a guy like Foles, Tanehill, etc. etc. in the 2nd round without giving away tons of our picks.

My guess would be next years first and this years second to move from 6 to 2. It would be worth it to get Barkely. We will be fine, if he pans out. Just look at the Bears, with Cutler. NFC championship and gave a kings ranson for him. Our team right now would have been 10-6 if we had a real QB. We have a 1,2,3,4,4,5,6,6,7, for 2012 and for 2013 we have 1,2,3,4,5,5,6,6,7. Not sure if we have to give the Cardinals anything for Hightower. We would still be able to add a bunch of quality rookies. They would be able to help plenty if they keep drafting like they have the last two years. Riley, Williams(very underrated by Redskins fans), Kerrigan, Jenkins, Hankerson, Helu, Paul, Gomes, Nield and Hurt. I give them a A plus. So I say get us a QB. Get us Barkley, he is 21.

What foresight is that?
