Redskins Sign Grossman

Even though he's old and slow w/ a noodle arm the guy seems to do well when called upon. Grossman can't handle the center exchage, can't read a defense and throws terrible INT's. He simply played his way out of Chicago. I hope nothing happens to JC.

Too sexy for you is he?

Grossman got a bum rap in Chicago, injuries and poor playcalling did him in. He's a better man and player now. Grossman will be just fine as a backup/spot starter/jevan snead mentor

If the skins traded out of the 4th pick, picked up a 2nd round pick, and ended up drafting Spiller, Snead, and an offensive tackle, you'd be a rather happy camper, wouldnt you?

#Redskins QB Jason Campbell reaction to Rex: I am good. Just worrying about what I have to do to be ready. Kind of knew about it a week ago

[SBXVII]

Clausen:

Strengths:
Good height and bulk --- Arm strength is more than adequate and can make all of the necessary throws --- Great throwing mechanics with a quick delivery --- Super accurate passer with terrific touch, timing and anticipation --- Very smart with an excellent football IQ --- Knows how to operate under center, recognize blitzes, read coverages and go through progressions --- Takes care of the ball --- Able to buy time in the pocket with his feet --- Can throw on the run --- Tough and will play through pain and injuries --- Is confident with a fiery field presence and ice water in his veins --- Hard worker --- Media savvy and has proven that he can handle the spotlight --- Experienced --- Superb bloodlines.

Weaknesses:
Borderline cocky and entitled with a personality that rubs some people the wrong way --- Not a great athlete --- Can be overly cautious and too quick to check down, throw the ball away or take a sack --- Has to windup to really zip the ball --- Floats the deep ball at times --- Might not have a ton of upside --- Is still maturing --- Durability is a concern.

EDIT: info from Draft Countdown.

[SBXVII]

Bradford:

Strengths:
Prototypical height with a frame that is still filling out --- Very intelligent with a good feel for the game --- Extremely accurate --- Outstanding touch, timing and anticipation --- Quick delivery --- Consistently throws a pretty spiral --- Decent athleticism --- Nice footwork and moves well within in the pocket --- Shows great ball handling ability --- Makes good decisions and takes care of the ball --- Tough and will stand tall against the rush --- Calm and composed --- Very competitive --- A team leader both on and off of the field --- Excellent work ethic --- Super productive.

Weaknesses:
Durability is a huge concern --- Just average arm strength --- Mechanics are not textbook and drops down to three-quarters at times --- Will have to adjust to working from under center --- Must learn to read defenses and go through progressions in a pro style offense --- Does not have a good feel for pressure --- Won't make a lot of plays with his feet --- Limited experience --- Stats were inflated by a spread system.

Per Draft Countdown.

[SBXVII]

Tebow:

Strengths:
Good height and outstanding bulk --- Terrific athleticism --- Excellent strength --- Arm is strong enough to make all the throws --- Can throw on the run --- Shows some elusiveness --- Can buy time in the pocket and make plays with his legs --- Powerful runner --- Extraordinarily competitive --- Tough as nails --- Fantastic work ethic --- Smart --- Has a ton of experience against top-notch competition --- Incredible leader.

Weaknesses:
Zero experience in a pro style offense --- A long delivery and serious mechanical issues with his throwing motion --- Has trouble throwing a tight spiral --- Not overly accurate --- Poor footwork --- Will have to adjust to taking snaps from under center --- Must learn how to read defenses and coverages --- Marginal vision --- Is too eager to run at times --- Minor durability concerns --- May have to learn a new position.

Per Draft Countdown.

Why would Rex be mentoring a rookie QB who's likely already better than him?

[over the mountain]

sandy - but how did those picks "significantly set back" those franchises? what was the teams record a few years before they were drafted compared to what the teams record was for a few years after the draft.

its a fine point but perhaps drafting a bust qb early really just wastes an opportunity for the team to improve and not significantly set the team back. theres a difference there.

if the lions were going about 4-12 for a few years before they drafted harrington, then go 4-12 for a few years after, that really didnt set the lions significatly back as much as it was a lost opportunity to improve the team.

I think what people keep forgetting is that drafting a QB with #4 is not right for the Redskins right now, plain and simple. Our offensive line has not gotten much better, and we could use a stud like Okung to come in and start at LT right away (the same way the Tuna got Jake Long).

I know people are sick of Campbell, but the team/fans/ownership/FO have to be patient, because unfortunately lack of patience is what has gotten us into a lot of trouble (and I don't mean patient with Campbell, but patient with the rebuilding process which should start with the OL). Personally, I'm not sold on Bradford...he may be highly touted, but I'm sure getting injured and only playing 2-3 games last season has some type of negative repercussion. Yes, I know he got better, etc., etc., but I'm just not sold. And Clausen is getting 2nd place to a guy like Bradford, no thanks.

I know getting Okung will not save the Redskins or lead them to a SB in 2010, but it's a start. Just as people claim that we can easily pick up a lineman in the 2nd round, I say that if we're going to pick up a QB to sit on the bench, let's pick him up in the 2nd round, and pick the lineman that can start right away with #4.
