What is best for the team is what SHOULD be done, regardless of who the onwer and GM are. I think the more appropriate phrase would be; Will DS & VC do what should be done in the best interest of the Redskins.

About WRs... yes, his WRs dropped some balls, but i cant even count the number of times Campbell grossly over or under threw a wide open receiver for a short catch. Many times, our receivers and TEs cant get YAC because Campbell cant hit them in stride. While Campbell has deadly accuracy on his deep ball, hes horribly erratic on the short and medium-throws.

Your statement is completely wrong. You can't count the number of times JC over or under-threw wide open receivers on a mid-short throw, because there just weren't many. If JC is inaccurate anywhere it's his deep ball, those he misses on more than his short/mid-range throws.

.....Campbell holds on to the ball way to long for this system and he absolutely needs more time....(on the flip side, if we select a QB who makes quicker decisions and is more accurate on the short throws, allowing our receivers more completions and YAC, we're fine with the line we have and can focus on upgrading it coming seasons.)

Haven't we heard this before? You put a rookie QB who had one successful season behing our current O-line (even with a healthy Thomas) and we will struggle far worse than JC did in the second half of 2008.

Unless you're ready to blow the whole thing up and start from scratch the Sanchez thing is complete stupidity. You bring a rookie QB into the mix and start him, you set the franchise back 2-3 years. IMO we are far from a position where the whole team needs to be blown up and rebuilt.

Let's say for the sake of argument we draft Sanchez at # 13. We still have immediate needs at OT, LDE & OLB which we will probably not fill, if lucky we'll fill one with our 3rd rounder. Portis isn't getting any younger, Samuels, Thomas and Rabach will all be the wrong side of 33 by Sept. 2010, and Samuels & Thomas are having injuries. Fletch isn't getting any younger, What do we do with Rogers in a contract year next year? Moss isn't getting any younger either, and his main weapon is his speed. What if one of the two young WRs doesn't develop? Now going into the 2010 season we have holes at OTx2, OLBx2, LDE, C, WR, possbily RB, possibly CB. Now we'll likely have a BAD OL and a 2nd year QB, not a good mix. But at least we'll have high draft picks because if we replace JC with Sanchez we're looking at no better than 6-10.

How about we address our OT, LDE, OLB situation this year with a trade down and fill two of those holes. Let's see if JC continues his development along the lines of what Hasslebeck did in the second year with Zorn (Pro Bowl level). He does and we re-sign him, he doesn't then we look for help next off-season.
