Might be a long season regardless. All hinges on how CP is. JC is sharp, but he is only half of the equation on offense. No depth at all in the DB. If Smooty, Rogers, or Springs goes down we are screwed. We honestly did end up wasting a pick on Palmer. A 6th rounder is never a keeper at QB.

You might want to run that by Tom Brady.

Thats like saying we should have kept Bramlet cause NFL Europe generated a couple good QBs....you know this is RARE....very RARE.
And the Redskins scouting dept aint gunna be the ones to find them.
Top 2 pick for the skins are the only ones that seem to do anything.
Blades might be a good story for us...but that is not a stand alone position like a QB

Guess who was a 6th round pick in last year's draft and is now the #2 defensive tackle?

Guess what tight end we drafted in the 3rd round of 2004 and is now one of the best tight ends in the league?

Guess what running back returns kicks for us and is also the 3rd string running back that was drafted in the 7th round in 2002?

Guess what undrafted player has started at left tackle for all 4 preseason games and is most likely gonna make the squad as a backup at left tackle?

Do you get the point now? The Redskins are not absolutely horrible when it comes to finding talent in the latter rounds of the draft.

I get your point but this has nothing to do with Cooley...3rd round was one of our top picks that year. Rock is arguably in danger, The LT guy is a backup at best...and keep in mind, he's a lineman, not a QB.

Top QBs are usually in the top 4 rounds...linemen and RB's can be found deeper. This aint my argument, I was chimming in.
I would rather they spend the pick on a guard or a Dlineman...thats all.

Am I being too hard on the guy...absolutely....is it fair? no...
But, the fact is he sucked tonight....no one can argue against that.

Hey, he's the one that said never. I simply disputed that.

Gus, excellent point on 6th rounder never a keeper at QB....
Remember, we all wanted a guard or dline or something....anything at a need position

Never? Are you sure? Have you heard of this guy, I can't quite remember his name, I think it's like Tom Brady or something, either way, he was a 6th rounder for New England in 2000, and from what I hear he's a pretty good quarterback, won something like 3 Super Bowls or some crap like that.

All I'm trying to say is that you are expecting too much out of Palmer.

EDIT: Damnit Matty you beat me to it lol.

Have to play the odds Mooby. Do you think Palmer is going to get out of the practice squad for us? Odds are he isn't. We needed a D linemen and we got a QB we didn't need, and wasn't too well though of since he was a 6th rounder. Brady going 6th round was a shocker anyway. Michigan Qb's make good NFL QB's usually. Anyway, a 6th round linemen has a better shot of making the team than a qb, like I said before, simple supply and demand, plus the nature of the position. A situation like Brady happens once in a generation, if not lifetime.
