QB Apocalypse: The Seventh Sign

[BigHairedAristocrat]

well i am growing impatient.... i think question 2 may have to do with what the Bears do with Cutler and question 3 has to do with what the cowboys do with romo.

Question 3, clearly states go back to question 1.

The thing I want to know about Manning is how many times could we possibly fail? We're due to hit on a big splash one of these days.

More Griffin-Redskins buzz
11:46 AM ET
Washington Redskins


UPDATE: Interesting tidbit to tack on to the rumors linking the Washington Redskins to Robert Griffin III. During an appearance on Bill Simmons' "BS Report" podcast, Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network indicated that not only is Griffin all but assured of being taken in one of the Top 2 spots in the NFL Draft, but that there's a particular reason why a trade between the Rams (currently at No. 2) and the Redskins may be a logical outcome.

"Mike Shanahan and Jeff Fisher are very close," Lombardi revealed. "If there's trade to be made, it'll happen between those two." (H/T to Evan Silva of Rotoworld for the quote).

---

It's not a certainty that the Redskins will aggressively target quarterbacks this offseason, but the growing consensus is that this will be the case. Some believe that they'll be amongst the teams most vigorously courting Peyton Manning; others think the Shanaclan's preference will be for Matt Flynn. Finally, there's the option of going for reigning Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III.

Acquiring Griffin will most likely require trading up from the Skins' current position at No. 6 -- either to No. 2 or No. 3 overall, depending upon what the other QB-needy teams do in free agency. If the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins and Seattle Seahawks are all satisfied with their situation following free agency, maybe Washington won't have to trade up at all.

In all likelihood, however, Shanahan will need to surrender some serious draft capital in order to secure Griffin. Should he pull the trigger? ESPN NFC East blogger Dan Graziano and Football Scientist KC Joyner consider the question:

Dilfer's ok. Tim Hasselbeck on the other hand

And I think the whole Kyle is a control freak thing is ridiculous. So is his dad, but it worked fine with him letting Elway call plays, ditto Walsh and Montana. And many others.

Yeah I don't get this whole perception that Florio and others have created, that "Kyle wants to run that offense like a little kid with a joystick on the sideline." I thought all offensive coordinators wanted the quarterback to run their offense. I guess the video game reference is a diss on Kyle's age.

Yet another person who annoys me.

My 8 concerns over #18
1. Does Peyton really want to come here?
2. Is he going to be throwing back the way he used be able to throw or will his arm strength of decreased significantly from not playing/neck surgery?
3. Does Peyton fit our system of bootlegs and roll outs?
4. Will Peyton get along with both shanahans?
5. Do we want to tie so much money into the QB situation, should we really draft RG3 by trading with St. Louis?
6. How much upgrading do we need on our OL and WR's?
7. Do we change our whole offense now, for one player?
8. Do we ever learn that signing big name FA QB's doesn't work? Theres always a "Yeah, But..." with all these Big name FA signings and us.

Dilfer annoys me because he comes off as a "Know it all expert" and he sucked his whole career at the position..

Agree 100%.

I don't understand why Peyton would want to come here.
But if he does.......the entire organization should bend over backwards to try and get him.

Lets not kid ourselves we were a 5-11 team if we get Peyton and he doesn't get healthy what have we lost?
We can still have a late round developmental QB and a FA journeyman as plan's B and C or C and B.
Having Peyton as plan A is a good thing imo.

Shanny is a real good coach for one, he could play ELI Twice for 2 and winning a title in D.C will make him the KING of WSH forever.. Also DS likes to pay the $

This is exactly why I think Peyton would want to come to DC.

There are plenty of reasons for why he may not want to come here. But those

three are the top reasons I would want to come here.
