Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

And Matt Flynn is Kevin Kolb.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA. (thats my buzzer sound) No I think not. Kolb played in something like 15 games and pretty much sucked in all of them. Which is why I was not rooting for the Skins to make a play. Also why I'm happy we didn't make a play. The Cards just found out what almost most of us should have known.... Kolb sucks.

Flynn on the other hand only has had 2 games and did fairly well in the first and awesome in the second. Managed the game well against a stout defense is not Kolb like.

My last point, our options at QB in the FA are limited to only a few half decent QB's and out of them 1 is aged and recovering (PM), 1 is going to take a draft pick (Hoyer), and 1 is definitely back up material and no better then Grossman(Orton), and 1 that is simply an unknown no draft pick requiring FA (Flynn). My reasoning for Flynn is because he's still young, healthy, knows the WCO, has shown he can play in the NFL and can manage a game pretty well, and can make all the throws. Pick him up with the understanding he'll challenge for starting position and draft a Rookie. make them battle it out in preseason and play the best candidate. This way we'd have 2 relatively young QB's that are healthy and can play for the future of this team.

Would Peyton Manning avoid Redskins because of Eli? - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post

Mark Schrleth's view on Peyton vs his brother twice a year. I like this one.

Im talking QBs here

If Peyton is cleared by the team doctors I would rather take Peyton Manning and select another quarterback in the later rds. Next season you have Matt Barkley and Landry Jones coming out.

So what? We would have to trade away everything to get into the top 5 next year just like this year. And going that route you would have a raw, low round QB prospect who isn't ready to play and when Peyton get's the knockout blow for his career somewhere in the first 3 weeks, then what do we have for the rest of the season? Rex Grossman. No thank you.

Agree. If somebody told you, that you had a greater than 50% shot of winning the lottery you would probably pay a high price for that ticket. Drafting a franchise QB is kind of like that. The risk is there, but the upside is worth it. In order to succeed in the playoffs you need a franchise QB. The teams that don’t have one are a revolving door getting into the playoffs every so often then having a few years not being there, with minimal success in the playoffs. In order to have longevity you need that QB. I think they have to make a play for RG3.

Matt Barkley will be the number 1 pick and Landry Jones wasn't that great of a prospect to begin with. This is the big class. Next years class will be worse. Maybe Tyler Wilson stays hot but if he's a top 5 pick then we'll have to trade up to get him which will probably cost a pretty penny. If Tyler Wilson goes cold no one will want him then it will be all about the 2014 class.

Either way the 2013 QB class is projecting to be much weaker depth and talent wise then 2012. Heck from what I've seen the 2013 class has the potential to be downright ugly.

2013: Matt Barkley, Tyler Wilson, Landry Jones............EJ Manual?

vs

2012: Andrew Luck, RGIII, Ryan Tannehill, Brock Osweiler, Nick Foles, Brandon Weeden.

lol! I always think of Dirtbag when someone mentions next year's qb crop.

Seriously though, if B. Allen ever wanted to use his father's mantra, our QB situation is pretty appropriate for it - 'the future is now!'

[Mechanix544]

there, I prettied it up.

No disrespect to SS, but if they indeed are "passionate" in any way about Kyle Orton, well, I dunno. I guess it makes me want to cry. We can do better than Kyle Orton people. Arent the fans 0f the washington redskins due for some good qb play? Dont just settle for (fill in the blank) when talking about your next qb, GO AND GET HIM!!!!!!

Agree 1000%. Only way Orton makes any sense at all is if they intend to get RG3 in the draft. Orton is fine to start for a month or so if RG3 is not ready on opening day but if they are counting on him for anything more then that then it's a disaster IMO.

[MTK]

Well, Orton certainly comes with a lot less risk. Let's not think that Orton solves the QB dilemma. We'll still draft someone. And there's still the chance PM stays in Indy, or simply chooses another team.

[SmootSmack]

Let me clarify, universally (meaning within the key decision makers) there are fewer concerns about Orton than Manning. The biggest advocate for Manning probably has the least say. I'm not sure they're rah rah for either, quite honestly
