2012 redskins

Brady Quinn will get a shot again soon and Josh Johnson is an interesting player

henne is okay, but i don't see him ever being great. this list is really just drew brees. maybe flynn is amazing, i don't know, but there's not much nfl tape on him, and it's not him playing against a defense that knew his tendencies and planned for them, so it's a bit of a crapshoot there.

Chad Henne sux, I've seen enough of him to know he's not any good.. Flynn is a ? But I wouldn't want to go after him to be our guy. This team needs to draft a QB

Have a feeling Flynn will be overhyped from making the best of little NFL film -- just like Kolb. Demanded a large contract with little NFL experience -- and has struggled since.

Matt Flynn may very well be the best QB entering free agency after the season. I see a big upside with his game, but I also see a bit of a downside with his game also. I think he could be a decent starter in the NFL though. As long as he's better than Grossman or Beck, I don't care about his downside. But I think depending on how much Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan want to give up for a young QB in the draft(RG3/Luck), the Redskins could go the free agency route and attain a passer.

Ironical indeed...Jason Campbell is likely the top (available) FA QB since Oakland committed to Palmer. Ohhhh Mike and Kyle you guys make it so much fun!!

If I recall, Shanahan just wanted Campbell to compete not for Campbell to leave. Too many people in this world want to something for nothing. And no, I won't mention Barkley in this thread.

I don't blame JC for not "competing." He was, and is, better than each QB Mike and Kyle brought in. And...he was already in DC and didn't cost picks etc.

Not sure what you mean since MS traded him. How did he just want him to compete and not for him to leave?

I agree that the key is upgrading the QB position. We should not just sit and wait on a "franchise" QB, but rather we should be looking to get better there. I would much prefer winning 8 or 9 games next season than a repeat of what has happened this year. Even if we are able to draft RGIII, we don't really know if he is a "franchise" player. Redskins desparately need to improve OB play for the team to improve. I say try a different FA QB. Ditch Beck, sign Hoyer, Quinn, Henne, or somebody similar and let him compete with Grossman for the starting job. Groom RGIII if we can get him in the draft.

By the way, Redskins owe Beck $1,000,000 for next season, but I contend that the team should eat the money and send him packing. They found out he can't play, so I see no reason to keep him. Treat him just like Torain; we owed him just under $600,000 for 2012, but sent him packing anyway. I would characterize both releases as good moves.

We definitely need some fresh faces at QB. I've just about had enough with Grossman and his 2 turnovers per game. I think the Shannys have had it too.

I agree with the 2 turnover a game thing, but realistically Rex will be back next year. He isn't going to get a starting job anywhere, and what better backup position is there? He could still end up starting if the rookie isn't ready. And the last few weeks (aside the picks) the offense has looked pretty decent and avg about 20+ a game.

I've got no problem with him coming back as a backup. I just don't want to see him starting.

His turnovers are killers. I don't think you can just overlook them and say well the offense is playing better. 2 turnovers a game from one player is very difficult to overcome. You just can't win games consistently with a QB like him.
