QB Combo Possibilities: Which Do You Want (QB Rumors: Verse 10)

We could use the first round draft choice on a right tackle, or maybe Justin Blackmon.

I still like the idea of drafting Robert Griffin III, but if we are unable to move up, then Peyton Manning wouldn't be such a bad signing. Hopefully, Kyle Shanahan will be intelligent enough to tweak the offense to how Manning plays quarterback instead of trying to micro manage him into being a Shanahan robot, which in turn would cause conflict.

Hopefully Kyle will be mature enough to acknowledge his football acumen is just a fraction of Manning's and he'll shut up, sit back and try to learn all that he can. This is, of course, a 2nd best alternative to the scenario where Kyle's not part of any scenario whatsoever. My intuition, and I would put money on this, is Manning's biggest hesitation about coming here is Kyle's presence.

I agree with you 1,000,000 %.

I offer that it is not an either/or. We could sign PM and draft RT, letting Tannehill learn behind Manning. Then we'd be set with high quality quarterbacking for years.

The only way for the Redskins to get Tannehill is to reach for him at #6. Even if the Redskins do sign Manning in free agency, and then draft Tannehill, that wouldn't be such a bad move so I agree with you there. But there are other options than Tannehill at quarterback. Either of the QB draftees would benefit with a few years behind Manning and possibly Grossman if he is re-signed.

You would have to sell Manning on the move before hand if you were to sign him. Any team he goes to he's going to want those early picks to go towards potential first year starters.

My question is if we draft RGIII should we hire Steve Young as a QB consultant to help his transition into the NFL?

According to the draft gods (magazine)...

Ryan Tannehill-

Upside- Tannehill is one of the best athlete's in this QB class. A converted WR, he has excellent feet and balance, and he keeps his accuracy on the run. He has a quick release and a great feel for the subtleties of the position, looking off defenders and staying poised under pressure. He worked under former Green Bay Pakers coach Mike Sherman in a pro style offense.

[SBXVII]

Down Side- Arm strength is iffy. Tannehill has an awkward throwing motion and pushes the ball more than he flings it. Pass knockdowns aren't a big issue because of his size, but he doesn't stretch the field. Raw after only one full season as a QB.

[SBXVII]

Bottom Line- He probably need another year to get ready, but a potentially solid starter in a West Coast offense.

This just confirms that I still want this guy and he is less of a risk than RGIII and all that it will take to get him.

pfffffttttt
So he plays for two years (not exactly enough time to build a dynasty) and then we start all over again....screw that.

Well to go off what you are implying, lets say RGIII is a bust. It takes the team 3-4 years to finally make the decision not to give him another chance. We trade four to five draft picks for him, and slug along for 4 years never accomplishing more than we have in the last three years.

Going through a HC or two in the process.

Just saying. There is risk to it all, and this is what this decision is going to be either way. For me I see the risk in signing PM to a deal is what you said above: two years and he is done. BTW if we only get two years out of him because he is never gets fully heathy. This would get us in position to fix the problem again. RGIII is not the only good quarterback to come out over the next few years. The reward is getting 4-5 good to great years out of him, and winning a lot of games between now and then.

Trust me I get RGIII. If we were drafting in a position to draft him, I would draft him. BUT Peyton Manning's don't hit the market to often.
