The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

[Meks]

this team is waiting for Matt Barkley, i will say thats how i feel... i wouldn't expect any crazy trades for Luck or RG3, i honestly think if something like that were to happen...... it will be with Matt Barkley if his level of play stays where it was this year...

but i think Luck and RG3 will be better in the NFL than Barkley.. so I dont like this feeling LOL.

I want a first and second round pick this, and next year. point blank for me.

Only IF the Redskins had ended the season with an 8-8 or a 9-7 record would they be willing to wait it out another season before drafting/getting THE franchise QB of the future. I think after 5-11, there is just so much pressure on the Redskins to have a new QB under center this fall, that I don't think they can wait on Matt Barkley.

[redskins5044]

My two cents on the QB situation. With a 5-11 season and having Grossman and Beck as our QB's they need to address the QB position this offseason. So here we go, we are in a bad spot in the draft to get one of the top 2 QB's. Usually to move up in the draft is done on draft day, to me that is too late to have notaddress the QB position.

So with all these rumors floating about a multitude of QB's we could get. I think if we either sign Flynn or trade for Hoyer or Sanchez then we wont attempt to trade up for RG3. Manning is not coming here. If we trade for Clausen or sign one of the other FA Qb's then i can see us still attempting to trade up.

IMO i think we have to either sign Flynn or trade for Hoyer, because if we take a chance with the other options of the other available or traded for QB's and cant trade up to get RG3, the Shanahans will be feeling the pressure from fans and Dan Synder IMO.

If a deal with Indy for Luck is in place, which I doubt because they need a young QB to rebuild around as much as we do, then it could not be announced until the start of the league year in mid-March, at the earliest. I know the article said it would be announced at the Draft. I'm just stating the earliest a trade could be announced.

I certainly hope that we're not going to acquire Peyton Manning in a trade, as great as he is, because his neck injury makes me way too nervous for that.

We're not going to acquire Peyton Manning in a trade

I don't have any idea how that rumor got started. There was never any talk of "if Peyton is healthy the Colts might be willing to trade him." None. All the talk centered around how the Colts probably won't want to pay him the 28 mil bonus and the only way to avoid that is to release him, not trade him.

You still left the door open to us acquiring him.

- Rams get the 6th overall from us plus some stuff from us

That way we pay a fortune but land Luck. Colts would still get RGIII to sit behind Manning. And the Rams, who don't need a QB, cash in on the #2 spot and slide down and stockpile picks.

Seems like it'd make sense for all involved, even though this is all manufactured in my mind.

You are right, this scenario would make sense. But I refuse to even think about it more because it would be too unbelievably cool and I don't want to be let down.

Yes. I live in Mississippi, wear wranglers, and am the new franchise QB of the Skins. Now you know.

if No maning. I still say u draft Blackmon if available at 6...

wait and see who falls to u at 6.... i'd even be happy with trading back if we couldnt get someone we need at 6... but get foles/tannenhil later (3) ... we have needs IMO more pressing than GIVING AWAY our draft. Keep Rex as a 2 or 3 or even to start regardless...
i know he's not great but he's not awful either, he at least gives us a chance, and for all we know could improve givin a new deal of 3 years or so, however the circumstance ACTUALLY play out, we will see.

Did you just emerge from a coma? Seriously? He was the worst starting QB in the league other than the Painter/Orlovsky duo in Indy.

LOL. Sorry. If we get him in any fashion I would be somewhat surprised quite honestly.

I hope we don't get him nor do I think he wants to come here.

I really can't believe anyone would still support Rex after seeing him the past season +. Heck, just look at his entire career. Turnover machine.

He's a lock for 2 turnovers a game, at the least. You just can't win in this league when you're giving the ball up like that.

If he starts, i have to support him. i just said hes not as awful as some ppl... and in reference to keeping him? as a backup who knows the offense hopefully that would be the extent of his role.
I want foles and thats the for me.

We're done with Rex as a starter. There's just no way we can go into another season with him and expect to win games.
