The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

He also said Manning is off the table cause we don't have an OL to protect the older and now easily injured Manning so he probably won't want to sign with the Skins.

Personally let us take whoever is available at #2 and hopefully we still have our 2nd round pick and just pick up another Weeden or Foles. Get our WRs from FA for the passing attack.
Unless we are able to pick up Flynn to challenge whoever we draft.

If any of the speculation is to be believed, we would not have a second for this year and probably next.....and the occasional first here and there....who knows

Yeah he was the same guy before the last draft saying we are definitely taking a QB. He talks to much for me.

I wouldn't be surprised if MS and Fisher already have a gentlemen's agreement to trade picks, or at least to give the Redskins the opportunity to match any offer.

You might be right.

I'd be ecstatic with Luck orRG3

Here's a link....

Buzz among NFL execs is Redskins trading up

Skinsfan, I honestly don't know. I kinda hoped we could nab one of the Saints WR's and possibly one of the 8-10 other decent WR's that will be available in FA.

People are probably gunna say I'm over killing it QB wise but if we pick RGIII and he's not ready or for some reason can't play or Luck and it's the same situation we will be screwed. I'd rather have too many decent QB's and be able to trade one away next year if need be then to not have anything like this year went. My perfect world...

Flynn/RGIII
or
RGIII/Weeden or Foles
or
Luck/Weeden or Foles

Basically if we can pick up a FA QB then I can see us taking RGIII and not worrying about whatever else happens in the draft. Win/Win. If we can't get a decent FA QB then I'd prefere we get two from the draft, hopefully one of the top two and it would be nice to pick up a 2nd rounder to challenge each other. Obviously if we are subject to having to pick up 2 QB's in the draft then I imagine we will have to pick up decent WR in FA to work in with what we already have.

I'm all for drafting 2 QBs

Thats a tidy little sound bite but its kinda empty, why do you feel Beck is awful?
And giving us no chance to win applies equally if not moreso to Grossman yet there isn't near the amount of animosity towards him.

I think its more accurate to say Beck played almost as poorly as Grossman yet under far worse circumstances.

Its like no one really wants to look at or discuss how Beck actually played or even his stats.

Screw trading up to #2, might as well go big and shoot for #1!

Which is why I'm not a fan of tossing everything just to move up. If they do I sure hope there is a plan "B" like a FA QB brought in also.... someone decent to either challenge or be able to step in if the Rookie is not ready. I'm not a fan of two Rookie WR's but I like what I'm seeing from Weeden's practices at the Senior Bowl. He's making all the throws today, dropping the ball where only the WR can catch it and even the announcers were speaking highly of Weeden.

I think we go Tannehill in the first with Noles in the second round if we decide to draft another position in the first.

Think Cleveland saw what the Ravens and Niners did this year and said to themselves, "We can win like that. Let's roll with McCoy."?
