| Franchise Quarterbacks Going into the Cowboys game I figured I'd offer a little food for thought on how so-called "franchise" quarterbacks are acquired. Here is a list of the top-10 NFL quarterbacks by rating currently: Drew Brees - Round 2 (32) Philip Rivers - Round 1 (4) Brett Favre - Round 2 (33) Aaron Rodgers - Round 1 (24) Peyton Manning - Round 1 (1) Ben Roethlisberger - Round 1 (11) Matt Schaub - Round 3 (90) Tony Romo - Undrafted Eli Manning - Round 1 (1) Tom Brady - Round 6 (199) The consistency is that each quarterback on this list was either A) drafted by a franchise who had a strong track record of team building and B) was in most cases given time to learn the trade before playing. My point here is that franchise quarterbacks aren't drafted; they are cultivated. To get from point-A to point-B, a team needs to bring a talented quarterback into a situation where they are given the opportunity to learn a system and surrounded with blue chip talent. Under these conditions, talented quarterbacks can become "franchise quarterbacks." It is a myth to believe that a team that doesn't have a solid foundation of talent will be able to draft a talented quarterback and expect them to succeed. In other words, bringing in a Sam Bradford without giving him time to develop and surrounding him with talent would simply be a waste of a draft pick. There is really no reason why Campbell shouldn't be brought back for the next two years. Other than Campbell there is not one scenario I can imagine where the Redskins are going to have success at the position. |

For example when Joe Gibbs was hired in 1982 he came from the Air Coryell system where throwing the ball was done a lot. Well after going 0-5 and they soon discovered what they had was a very good Running OL and back, so they changed their game plan to suit their talent. Not the other way around. Something Blache needs to learn. Coaches have to learn to swallow their egos sometimes. | |

| Re: Franchise Quarterbacks Considering 4 of those are top 11 picks.. 5 are first round.. and a couple of others are BARELY into the 2nd round, I'm not sure you can't say a franchise QB can't be drafted |

| Re: Franchise Quarterbacks Yes, you need patience when developing a Qb and yes, you need talent around them. It's hard to turn down a qb though when you need one. The question is, are the qb's that are available worth it? I have no idea. |

| Re: Franchise Quarterbacks I've said it before...I see hardly a player on this team who could really be considered a "Franchise" Player. We have some good solid players, but it's obvious that we have dire need at O-Line, Quarterback, and Runningback. I think Quinton is the man here, but he is gonna need help. Blache needs to go as D-Coach. I can't stand that he doesn't like blitzing and feels that sacks are "overrated". What an idiot. He needs out of here..
