This is phenomenal news. Now, someone needs to put a gun to Barkley's head until he declares (figuratively of course).

Good read on why RG3 won't be our QB.. And yes, I read it this time

Considering Mike's evident inability to evaluate which QBs will "fit" his super-duper awesome system (see McNabb, Rex, Beck) since he returned to pro football this kind of article makes me cringe. We're going to pass up a potential mega-talent QB in the draft for a coach who likely won't be here more than two or three more years and struggles mightily to pick the right fit anyway...

Edit: this is where a real GM, as in one who actually makes personnel decisions, overides a coach like Mike Shanahan in the decision to not take the truly best QB available or just shows coach the door. Unfortunately, Snyder still hasn't gotten this FO thing right. We've got a GM that's really just the HC's toady and the coach can't get it right to begin with.

Great post Goat. The Redskins simply can't not afford to pick the best QB that fits their "system." They simply need to pick the best QB, period. I hope someone over there realizes this and they make the right decision. Pick the best QB.

<---- realizes that the Redskins picking the best overall QB is an unspeakable longshot.

True, you made a valid point but why would you think that Shanny won't be here in within few years? What if the team actually got better next year or two years later, you would still not want to extend his contract? Beside, in my opinion, a good (or great) QB should be able to play in any kind of system, that also includes Shanny's system.

He's 59 and can't win any games?

This is only 2nd year that he is supposedly to rebuild a team from scratch, the team that Vinny completely destroyed. I would prefer to give him 5 full years that he asked for before deciding anything.

...took the words right out of my mouth.

If RG3 is there when the skins pick and we pass on him I'm going to be pissed

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I still think Barkley or RGIII will be a Redskin come April.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

As long as this QB leads us to multiple SB victories, I don't care if its John Cena or The Rock.

All I know is I am routing heavily for a Rams victory

For more than one reason too. Hopefully Bradford throws for 400 yards and 5 TDs to prove he's their franchise QB.

[skinsfan69]

The Rams would be stupid to give up on Bradford.
