Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

[NM Redskin]

This reminds of what happened to Bill Ward, original drummer of Black Sabbath. They basically offered him a contract that was unsignable for the reunion tour. So publicly they can spin it as "Hey we offered him a contract, but he didn't sign."

I think Irasy is doing the same, to save face. Offer Peyton an unsignable contract. So to the public, he can spin that he wanted Peyton to stay, but Peyton wanted to leave.

So it was apparently Mannings camp that leaked the info about the 4th surgery and trying to play at the end of last year

Why would they? That information can't help his cause.

Sounds strange to me too.
Maybe they thought that letting people know that Peyton was near 80% during 'practice' last Dec it would help the perceptions about his health?

i'd rather take another look at patrick ramsey than go another year with grossman as our best bet

not all resources, but you get yourself the best qb possible...

Which would cost most of the available resources.

Not all. You could get Griffin and still have a huge FA shopping spree targeting young players. Or you could get Manning/Orton/Henne and have complete flexibility in this draft.

Problem is, neither option fixes the passing game on day one. There were gains made last year that you lose as soon as you change the quarterback. Not that it is not still an obvious place that can be upgraded, just that the more you change, the less last year's finish meant.

LOL. I'm sorry.

Rex Grossman wants to stay with the Redskins | ProFootballTalk

[los panda]

you can tell his heart is in it

[Hog1]

I don't have a...real problem with that. Obviously Rex is not our starting QB wish. As the team (and the components around him) improves, so will he. He knows the offense. If he can raise his level of play a bit, he CAN be a very effective BU

[GTripp0012]

I think Rex Grossman: Redskins starting QB until Nick Foles/Brandon Weeden is up to speed makes a lot more sense than Rex Grossman: Backup quarterback of the Redskins.

If Grossman is here next year, it should be as the week one starter, but if/when he is replaced in the starting lineup, I think the backup should be someone else. So if they add Foles and Moore/Wilson in the draft, and Foles wins the starting job in Week 5, I wouldn't want Grossman active on gameday. There's no point. The only point of bringing Grossman back is not because he knows the offense, but because no one who could win games in 2012 more easily would come here.

So like, if Manning, Orton, Campbell, Flynn, and Henne all sign elsewhere...and the Redskins cannot get any of them, and the Redskins opt to add two guys in the draft, then Grossman probably gives the Redskins the best chance of winning. Obviously, that's kind of a Plan D at this point.

If they make it to this plan their will be a lot of pissed fans, me included. We know what Rex can do and we don't need to see him anymore. No more BS about him knowing the system, get rid of beck too. There needs 2 new QBs on the roster next year, whoever they may be.

Ok it's settled. We have to pick up PM at any cost.

Washington Redskins should look beyond Peyton Manning, says D.C. Mayor | Yardbarker.com

If there is anything I've learned is you do the opposite of whatever the Mayor wants to do there cause they have no clue and screw up all the time anyway.

This should make the RGIII fans happy.
