The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

[VTSkins1961]

I would sign Flynn or a free agent and stand pat with the draft pick or trade back if RG3 is gone. Don't morgage the farm for 1 player.

We have a power runner in Hightower
A do it all in Helu
A change of Pace in Royster
In LaMichael James we will be the gamechanger

He is not to be used as a traditional runningback. You can line him up and use him at multiple positions like a Percy Harvin, Darren Sproles, or Reggie Bush. James can be put in the slot. He would often be on the field at the same time as our other runningbacks. Defenses have to account for a player of his skillset and caliber. Making it easier for other player to get one- on- one matchups and open.

Special teams- Goodbye Banks, Hello James. This guy has breakout speed and is dangerous in open space.

I think we have the rookie wideouts needed our roster now, they just need to be coached up and seasoned. You could maybe add Eddie Royal to replace Moss and a big target like Bowe, Colston, or Jackson. However Hankerson can be that big target. Let's not mention our tighends in this equation. I think if your looking at James as a tradional back then you might be a tad shortsided in your thinking. If you see him a utility player than you can see the potiental

Not gonna happen. Shanny's calling card is getting production from anyone he puts in the backfield. They have several needs. RB isn't one of them. Maybe later in the draft.

You are basically correct. But we have wasted picks on far less. If we can get Luck by trading the farm we should do it. We can upgrade elsewhere slowly thru free agency and next years draft we can trade down some and get many good players to rebuild. If we can get Luck then it should be done.

For the league ....not for the Mannings.I will go back to the year Eli came in and they made the switch with the Chargers ,the parents did'nt even want them in the same conference back then.You can get the same press in NY by playing in the same town and stadium without going against each other (other then pre season) once every 4 years.


I also really doubt the Peyton manning needs Dan Snyders money,Woody Johnsons money is just as green.

RGIII is a legitimate first overall talent, just so happens that he's in the same draft with a once in a generation prospect. He is the real deal, unmatched athletic ability, rocket arm, pinpoint accuracy, and a mind thats more impressive then all of that.

And as a lot of you are aware of things don't start happening until you start to get real production out of the QB position.

Anway heres how I see it, we can trade back and pick a bunch of nice pieces, draft a project like Tannehill, and risk our coach being fired provided he eeks out a .500 season. Or we could draft RGIII, give him an offensive mastermind like the Shanahans and still have a QB prospect that can excel under any coach in the league should the Shanahan experiment prove to be a failure in the near future. In other words there would be hope should we have to start over.

To me thats much better then seeing Shanahan get fired next year or the year after and being stuck with Tannehill.

I could not agree with this post more!!! Get it done.

Isn't it funny how the year started off with so many choices at QB and possibilities,and now it has shrunk to just RGIII or free agency?

Personally I think that Tannehill, with seasoning, will make a dynamic NFL franchise QB. I would add him to your mix.

I'm annoyed by the posters who come on here and say that we shouldn't trade up to get RGIII. Those of you who have posted that have either not seen enough of RGIII or have seen so much of Rex that the horror of it has blinded you. Or, you just plain don't know what you're talking about.

I've seen a lot of college QB's in my 64 years and let me clue you in: RGIII is the TRUTH. We're talking about an instant starter, a true Franchise QB, and, in time, a possible All-Pro.

I've even seen where someone on here says he's not an accurate passer. You need to go back and look at some more film on him because RGIII is one of the most accurate deep passers that I have ever seen in college football.

The only concern I have about him is that we won't be able to trade up to get him.

Here's a summation on RGIII from Walter Football: "1/9/12: Griffin earned his Heisman Trophy and truly was the best player in college football this season as he led Baylor to a 10-win season. Griffin carried Baylor to thrilling wins over Oklahoma, Kansas and TCU. He has displayed a very strong arm and good mobility. His accuracy was phenomenal on passes to the short, intermediate, and deep part of the field. In 2011, Griffin completed 72 percent of his passes for 4,293 yards with 37 touchdowns and six interceptions. He has also rushed for 699 yards and 10 touchdowns. His decision-making was superb."

So Smoot... What is your opinion on the whole ESPN anchor, Manning & Saturday to the Redskins whole thing?

Oh yea, there are options, and that cetainly could happen, but in the beginning of the season, so many Qbs were suppose to come out that the Redskins were definitely going to have several choices. Now everyone stayed, Luck is out of reach and RGIII might be too expensive to trade up for.

Which does open up options for the 2nd round QB, but I just don't see how Shanahan doesn't get at least one starter right off the bat, rather Flynn, RGIII or trade.

I personally see getting one elite guy, having rex as number 2 and then someone like Tannehill or maybe even Moore as a 3rd project QB.

agreed. Get the kid in here at all costs. This bandaid on the qb position has gone on long enough. Pull the trigger. This years 1st and 3rd, next years 1st and 4th, to move up 3 spots and get our man.

Look at the NFC now. You have Rodgers, Brees, Eli Manning, Michael Vick, Matthew Stafford, Sam Bradford, Matt Ryan, Tony Romo, Alex Smith, Jay Cutler, and all are very capable quarterbacks. When do we get one? When is DC going to get a quarterback that the fanbase doesn't have to make excuses for going INTO the game? One that doesnt lead the entire LEAGUE in turnovers? A quarterback that can put some points on the board. One that we can be proud of. We are within striking distance of that pick, and we need to pull the trigger and get RG3 in here. We have a decent enough line, and with a Free agency pickup at wide receiver, our squad is right there. But until the FO goes all in and gets their guy, our franchise will be mired in mediocrity. And that is the long and short of it.

KI,

I'll be nice... Your comment is absurd, and so you know I'm refering to your comment about other posters not RGIII. I don't doubt he's not the real deal. I don't doubt Luck is the real deal either, but I think those of us whom you are refering to are using reason and common sense in knowing Luck will be gone and quite possibly RGIII also. It will be a huge suprise if he's still there at #6 and if he is then we take him.

I'm not one who would like to see the team throw the majority of their picks at just one player when the team has more needs then just one position. I hope he's there but if it's too many picks I'll pass, if he's not too costly then fine let's get him. Otherwise I'm sure we can find someone like a Tom Brady.

I agree we should go for RG3 but I think it's silly for you to say you are annoyed at someone else for having a different opinion of how we should approach the draft. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I'm sure it won't happen but I personally feel our first option should be to deal for Bradford if Fisher wants RG3. We should go that route because he is better than any other QB prospect, has NFL game experience, and will come at a lower cost. Are you annoyed with me too?

No, because I took my meds between my first post and this one.
