Redskins Sign Grossman

BigHairedAristocrat, why did you choose that name? Big Haired Aristocrat = immoral, corrupt, worthless, cowardly, and lazy.

Does this spell the end of colt?

I cannot wait for a month from now when the draft is over and the focus sifts from "who we should take" to "Why we will be a contender". And I would love for once for the kool aid drinkers to be right.

I hate the effin offseason.

I wouldn't be surprised what Polian actually meant is that since teams choose players based on an "IF...THEN" algorithm and teams try to be ready as many potential ways the order can play out, that's why they wouldn't be surprised. The order of the players selected is not bound by some faux-determinism. I wouldn't be surprised if Allen isn't surprised the Rams take Suh OR Bradford this draft because those are both plausible possibilities.

No, he's referring specifically to players "rising" and "falling".

“The so-called ‘fallers’ didn't have that outstanding ability or had one major flaw,” Polian said.

Therefore we can insinuate that Matt Leinart was not taken in the Top 4 for a reason.

This whole Shanahan likes Brennan thing has been way overblown. As of two weeks ago he hadn't even seen film of him playing in preseason games.

True, he's not going to challenge Campbell or anything, but he liked him enough to not cut him and let him in the "open competition", unlike Collins (thankfully).

I'd be fine with JC being backed up by whomever comes out ahead in the Rex/Colt battle.

There are plenty of ways to build up the offensive line beside spending the 4th overall pick on an offensive lineman

I would argue that if we could get a whole team of 1st round picks we need it. But it's not logical.

If Okung is not a good fit for the scheme Shanahan wants to implement and no one else is projected to be worthy of a #4 pick that are good in the zone blocking scheme then what do you do? The OL draft depth is huge. There are many players who will fit into Shanahan's scheme but not worthy of the #4 pick overall.

Trade up with the Rams get the QB we need, don't throw away draft picks though so in the second round we can get an OL. Hopefully we pick up more picks from other players we tendered and pick up more picks. Hopefully OL.

You've got to admit the argument of which position to draft has been as intriguing as it has been ongoing. It's a subject that has dominated fan message boards for months with both sides presenting formidable arguments both pro and con. It has certainly made for great discussion because a good case can be made for either side presented.

Grossman is terrible. End of discussion. He has to be the worst QB ever to QB a team to a Super Bowl. He's just awful. I honestly would've kept Collins. Even though he's old and slow w/ a noodle arm the guy seems to do well when called upon. Grossman can't handle the center exchage, can't read a defense and throws terrible INT's. He simply played his way out of Chicago. I hope nothing happens to JC.

I forgot about that. You're right though, worse than Trent Dilfer.

Damn for a moment I thought you were refering to JC.

Rabach can't handle the center/QB exchange...snaps it into the ground half the time.
