What’s your plan for the Quarterback position?

[Buffalo Bob]

I would roll with Colt or JJ as starter. With Alex Smith's contract even a bottom level veteran starter who now command $10 mil+ just is not affordable. I would say use two picks on a QB, one early round and a mid rounder. I could not say who as I didn't watch a lot of college football this past year, and even if I did I have never been good at evaluating QBs. Let the rookies sit and learn while JJ and or Colt lead the Redskins to 3-13 and a nice high draft pick. If one of the rookies look like the QB of the future trade that high pick down for multiple picks.

I hate to be that guy, but if we have double digits losses we will be in position to draft several great QB talents. Like 3 guys who are much better than the top QB prospect this year. So why draft 2 this year?

The only option is Colt McCoy, he knows the system better than any FA or draftee. Drafting a QB this year is a must, I would only draft a QB in the 1st if it’s Murray, Lock or Jones and that’s even iffy.

Kind of like shooting short range with a shotgun loaded with buckshot over a snub nosed .38. You are more likely to hit something. If the two guys this year look like duds that 3-13 will afford you a do over the following year. The QB position is the hardest to evaluate, history proves that. Often a projected good draft for QBs goes bust and a projected poor one turns out a handful of franchise QBs. The 2016 class was projected as weak, but out of the top 5 QBs picked 3 are franchise QBs that made Pro Bowls. Even the best at the draft fail picking QBs. Bill Walsh considered a QB genius, who selected Joe Montana in the 3rd round also has a first round pick of Jim Druckenmiller on his resume. Montana was considered the GOAT until recently surpassed by Tom Brady and Drunckenmiller probably has one of the worst career passer ratings of all time for anyone who threw at least 50 passes.

ok get it...still I wouldn't tho.



Back to Colt...I rather have Colt than pay a Dalton, Keenum, Tannehill. Simply too much money for similar output. But Colt is extremely injury prone...that's a big problem (I guess I don't need to state to Skins fans, injuries are a big problem)

Definitely agree there. Even though the three you mention are considered in the bottom 3rd of QBs it will still take $10mil+ a year to sign them. For that you would probably get 1-2 more wins at best over a Colt McCoy, definitely not worth it. With a Keenum you would be spending around $40 mil total a year on the QB position and be lucky to win 6 games. Even the Redskin front office isn't inept enough to make that move.
