2012 QB Prospects (Part 2)

[SmootSmack]

I mentioned this before I think, we had Foles (along with Barkley and a few others) on the ESPN campus a year or two ago and they did all these drills on our football field. Foles was outstanding. But the QB he is on game day doesn't seem to be that same guy

I don't understand why you said that. Is it based on something you know from out of Redskins Park?

Well it's not unusual for Smoot to get info from Ashburn but at the very least his style of play makes him an obvious candidate. Plus if he bust we can use him as a receiver.

From various people I've talked to associated with the NFL in general (though not directly with the Redskins themselves, or I should say only with the Redskins) what I've gathered in regards to rookie QBs is

Definite interest in Luck, but not likely possible
Kinda so so on Barkley
Intrigued by RG III, spending a lot of time at his games
Comfortable with Landry Jones
Love Ryan Tannehill

Thanks for the reply. That is very interesting information. I think I'll look at some more film on Tannehill.

Again smootsmack, the people where you get your information from, about how often % wise, do they tell you a skins rumor and it is actually correct?

percentage wise? I don't know. I mean I don't ever write anything here unless I'm comfortable enough that it could be legit. Only the mods get access to the more outlandish rumors.

But anyway, I think most people here would tell you my info is generally pretty legit: I have "broken" a lot of stuff here. By the same token, I've been wrong. Whether it's because the info I got was wrong, or circumstances changed things. I'm not 100% accurate, even the best aren't

That said, with Allen and Shanahan it is much much harder to figure their plans out than previous regimes

I would be pissed if we drafted Tannenhill and passed on Barkley and RGIII

I doubt Barkley and RGIII would be on the board when it is our turn to pick. That being said, I'd hate to have a top pick QB not work out b/c he doesn't fit Shanny's system.

In that case, then I would be fine but I wouldn't wanna pass on them for Tannenhill.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Smoot any word on who we would draft if we don't go QB in the 1st rd.

Why wouldn't they? Obviously Colts will go #1 overall with Luck. You have Miami that is playing well and could be ahead of us, but not necessarily. They definitely need a QB. Seattle needs ones, but I doubt they will be ahead of us. That would leave either RGIII or Barkley for us at the 5-7 spot IMO.

I want luck Idc what we have to do to get to 1st. I'd trade next years 1st and 2nd if we had to.

If not I want RG3

I would not give that up, IMO Barkley will be just as good as Luck. Luck is just more athletic. I say stay where we end up. If Barkley or RGIII falls to us pull the trigger, if not, Mo Claiborne or Trent Richardson would look good in a Skins jersey.

Not really. Burfict seems to be a name commonly mentioned. And the dude from Stanford. The lineman
