I See QB Rumors (2012 QB Thread: The Sixth Sense)

[The Goat]

I'd like to see us find a "cheap" solution to QB that isn't Rex, Beck or some other goofball. IDK who fits the bill per se, but I'd look first at UFAs. Hell, don't even care if the contract is large in $$, but I just don't want to see us trade any picks/players. Risk/reward is too sketchy based on 1) the last two years of the regime 2) realistic expectations of the next two years under the regime.

This is why theoretically Manning to DC would be "perfect" if the Colts released him. But again there's absolutely no reason for Manning to want to come here.

What other QBs will/could be FAs or even UDFAs?

You say there's no reason for Manning for to come here, I say Manning could potentially look at Shanny's success with an old Elway and see that as reasoning to come here.

But either way if Manning was a free agent, the only way I'd want him to come here and fill the void was if the guy we hopefully draft wasn't ready to start from day one.

Denver also had a pretty stacked team those years... Which the Redskins don't have.

This.

Today's niners = broncos w/ Mike and Elway those two years. Manning could also win the Lombardi w/ Ravens or maybe Jets.

Def not Skins lol

Probability of Mike S winning another SB is less than a Ron Paul presidency...

Well duh, but I'm just saying there's at least one reason Manning might want to come here.

That's a good point, but it could also be a clash of egos/styles. Manning has been running the same O for years & has such a command of it. Would the Shannys give him the kind of pre-snap flexibility he's used to? You would think they'd adjust some things for him, but we saw w/McNabb that they wanted things done a certain way.

I know Peyton is totally different, I still see the potential for a system misfit that would again set the team back & create more drama. Hopefully, he retires. Smoot's early info about the skins not being that interested, makes sense to me. I think in some ways getting Manning would be more of a risk for Shanny than drafting a qb early.

Genius for the skins would be to sign manning, trade up for luck or rg3, let them battle for it in training camp, if Peyton requests to leave, trade him!!!

If the skins sign Manning they assume he'll play for 3 years at least so I doubt we'd also take a qb high

Is this the same Hillis that was a pain all season for them?

Yep. That's him.

So I was listening to Mike and Mike today and they had Two Tall Jones on, they asked him who were the QB's he hated to play against, basically knew his work would be cut out for him and his response was... Frank Tarkenton, Joe Theismann... etc etc. Basically said he didn't like the scrambling QB's.

Which also got me thinking ... maybe we are going about our QB position all wrong, our last FRANCHISE QB was Theismann and he came to the Skins as a kick returner. So lets go get a 6' + kick returner and make him a QB. lol.

That's Ed "Too Tall" Jones, as in too tall to play football. The label stuck as a nickname.

Theismann came to the Skins as a QB but he was stuck behind Jurgensen and Kilmer on the depth chart. He was so anxious to play football that he begged his way onto the field as a punt returner. He also punted once, with disastrous results.

It's hard believe just back in the 70's and 80's, you had quarterbacks doing more than just quarterbacking the team. Just like Danny White serving as punter for the Cowboys as well as quarterback. You would think it would have made the other team's special teams think fake on every punting down.

How about a 6+ who used to play wide receiver and make him an NFL QB and rhymes with Benadryl?
