Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
My thoughts:
Free Agents: I don't see Kyle Orton being that much of an upgrade over Rex Grossman. He's a journeyman, but I wouldn't mind him being the backup. Kyle can give you a few good games, but honestly, if we're talking transition/backup QBs, I think Rex is good enough for that. I don't know much about Josh Johnson or Brian Hoyer, so I really can't comment on either one of those guys. I'm sure there must be some type of interest for Matt Flynn, but the 'skins might be keeping that hush hush until they see who the other legit bidders are for him and what gets offered. No surprise that there is zero interest in Peyton Manning. Since yesterday's events, I'm thinking Manning may in fact stay with the Colts, assuming he's cleared to play football by the time training camp rolls around. Trades: Jimmy Clausen - If not much is given up for him, then I think it's a great idea to bring Jimmy in knowing he's going to serve as a backup to whoever is starting, and a guy the Redskins can hopefully develop over a period of time. I don't think he's trash and I kind of questioned (before the season) why the Redskins didn't try to pursue him prior to the start of this season. I suppose with the lockout, the team probably felt the price would be too high for a QB that would not see the field at all this year. Mark Sanchez - I don't think he leaves NY. If he does, it's because Rex Ryan is fired, and I don't think that will happen, so I think Sanchez stays a Jet. I don't really have any interest in Colt McCoy. For some strange reason, I just get this Patrick Ramsey vibe when I hear about McCoy. I am 100% on board with getting Sam Bradford, but I'm also curious as to why the Redskins did not make a legitimate move to draft him when they had a chance. I guess they felt Donovan McNabb was the guy at that point and didn't feel it necessary to make a move for a QB. The Draft: I don't believe the Redskins have a chance at drafting Andrew Luck or RG III. I would be ecstatic if either one landed in Washington, but I don't think it's going to happen. I think both QBs get taken - which could be how we wind up getting Sam Bradford. If there was some magical way that the 'skins could land Bradford and finagle their way into getting Blackmon, I would probably think I have died and gone to Heaven! Landry Jones and Tannehill: I think between the two I'd take Tannehill, although like Smootsmack has said, I too tend to go back and forth. I think either may not be ready to start from day one and if they do, I just hope Snyder is patient, because I can't see the 'skins winning more than 8 games in their rookie year. However, I might be completely wrong. But, I don't think the Redskins would have to draft either one at #6. As matter of fact, I think they could possibly get Tannehill in the early second round and use their first pick for either Blackmon or Kalil. But, if those guys are gone by #6, the 'skins should trade down and keep building depth. I have confidence they would find a potential franchise guy later in the first or early second. I don't know anything about Foles, Cousins, or Lindley. I had always questioned why Weeden wasn't talked about more until I realized he was already 28 years old. If we go with a QB out of the draft, I want someone young who if developed into a franchise guy, one that we can hold on to for at least 10 years. So, I say yes to Sam Bradford, Clausen as a backup ONLY if not much is given up for him, probably yes for Tannehill. I say no to Mark Sanchez, Peyton Manning (I actually think he doesn't play anymore), intrigued by Matt Flynn, and maybe to Landry Jones.

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
True. Fisher has been linked heavily to the Rams. Also linked to the Dolphins.

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
Anyone familiar w/ Russell Wilson?
I think this guy can play in the NFL and play well. He's projected as a 4th/5th. The knock is his size. He's mobile, shifty, very accurate, and smart. We could do worse w/ a 4th/5th rounder. Hopefully, we'll take a QB before then though. |

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
Would love to end up with Bradford and Clausen.

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
I think it would be great if we were to get Bradford. If we were to get him with just the first rounder, we can use the second round pick to get an interior lineman.

Who are the Skins looking at and are interested in? Because what's happening is some fans want the Skins to throw everything or whatever it takes to get Luck (which to me is crazy), other fans want the Skins to throw whatever it takes at RGIII (which also seems crazy to me) and in reality... the Skins might not even be looking at either nor Jones or Tannehill. So technically only the fans are losing their "they" want the Skins to pick. It could be their eyeing some other kid that no one is talking about but fits the Shanahan scheme perfectly and can be taken in the second round but everyone is so up in arms about the Skins needing to take a QB at #6 so they don't miss out. They do if the guy they are interested in is one of the top 3 QB's on the list but not if he's not. |

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
I think Beck and Crompton both need to be cut, let go, fire..D.
I don't want Grossman to start but if he has to until the next QB is up to speed then fine. I'd look for whatever FA QB's were available to challenge Grossman. Perfect world we get a FA QB, and get to keep out 1st round pick to take a #1 WR like Blackmon or whoever, then take a QB in the second round to try to develope. Then the rest of the draft could be used on FS or CB and OL. |

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
really hoping that landry jones doesnt end up here. if we do happen do get him, i hope we trade down and select him rather than reach big time at 6.
