J. Jefferson is just not a big-time qb, Miles should've benched him by mid 3rd qtr, he looked frustrated & hesitant from the get go. Jefferson is decent but wouldn't start for a lot of good college teams. Give him credit for a good year though, they put up some great wins. That Bama D was somethin!

While both teams have great defenses, no doubt, it's also hard to take it seriously when wide open receivers are dropping passes and neither team can score a Touchdown for 7 quarters. Heck they were underthrowing screen passes a few times tonight. And that shovel pass from Jefferson, man that was ugly.
Hopefully this game lights enough of a fire to encourage the BCS to change.
Jefferson was surely not the guy to beat Bama & they knew that coming in as they've played him before. LSU needed a really good or great QB to beat Bama. To the credit of the Bama D, they intimidated LSU to such a degree that routine plays were rushed.

I'm starting to come around to the idea that the Skins (if P. Manning is healthy) should do whatever it takes to get Luck. We have a good young core of players, and the needs (and depth) in other areas should be easily addressed in later rounds and/or free agency.
Good QB play could have given us a much better record last season, and I think this upcoming season we have a team that won't get a young QB rattled and shocked. Also, I think our defense will play better with a competent offense.

The Colts won't trade Luck, I know it sucks because I'm right w ya but I've already moved on.. Maybe Flynn or RG3.

I am starting to think with the 6th pick the Skins should either take BPA or trade back and aquire picks. We are not getting Luck and RGIII might not even be coming out this year! Blackmon will almost certainly be gone as will Kalil. One thing I do NOT want is to use this draft pick on is a CB. I dont think either Clayborn or any other CB is worth the #6 pick. Maybe grab the OT from stanford?
So it is starting to look to me like we will not be drafting a new day 1 starting QB in this years draft.
So looking at FA options it would seem to be Hoyer, Flynn (going to be overpaid by someone) maybe trade for Clausen or Brady Quinn........yeesh.

Trading back and picking Michael Floyd from Notre Dame sounds pretty darn good to me!

I hope the team seriously looks at RG3. Unlike previous years, I feel like a rookie QB won't be killed out there by our offensive line.

"Intangibles: Arrested three times on alcohol-related charges while at Notre Dame: cited for underage consumption in two incidents in Minnesota (May 2009, January 2010) and for drunken driving in March 2011 on campus. Missed most of 2009 with a broken left collarbone and the final two regular-season contests of 2008 with a left knee injury."
This from cbssports.com
Not exactly your character guy you look for considering Alshon, Blackmon (well he has one charge on him from his 4 years of college), Kendall Wright are better people and players IMO.
