The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

Or maybe we just stay and 6th and reach for a guy like Tannehill... It's going to be a quite a ride.

I think we need to go hard after Matt Flynn, I mean we can still draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round too.

I just don't think the Redskins draft a QB at #6. If they draft a QB in the first round, it's going to be either because they move up, or they trade down and grab Tannehill toward the end of the first round or the second. Like I said before, I'm starting to believe more that the Redskins will actually move up to snag RG III. I didn't think so before when Barkley and Jones were possibilities.

As far as free agency, I'm thinking the 'skins pick up someone like Jimmy Clausen on the cheap as a backup guy (replacing John Beck) and drafting one of the two top QBs in the draft. Other than Cleveland, who else who truly needs a QB will be a good position to move up?

If the plan is to stay at #6 and pick RG3 or Tannehill I can live with it since at least Tannehill is likely to be there.

John clayton seems to think the skins will draft RG3.. Of course it's only JAN

[Big C]

its really hard to predict what will happen at this point in time obviously. i remember last year people were projecting cam newton at around 20 in the first round, and obviously he went #1. lets see how combines go.

We ain't getting Luck and I really think Cleveland takes RG3

Yep, and the Rams will take Blackmon. Our only chance of landing any of those players(RG3/Luck) is to give up draft picks. I say we roll the dice with Flynn and retain our draft picks.

[skinsguy]

I'll make this prediction though (and I truly have to go and workout now...) I think no matter how next season turns out, if Mike Shanahan drafts Robert Griffin III, Shanahan keeps his job throughout the end of his contract - even if the 'skins go through another losing season. IF Shanahan grabs Flynn in free agency, flynn doesn't live up to the hype and the 'skins have another sub .500 season - that could very well spell the end of Mike Shanahan. I just don't think Shanahan can afford to swing and miss this time with his quarterback. And unfortunately for him, I don't think Mike can wait another year for Barkley or Jones. Seems like everybody feels RG III is can't lose situation, I think it's going to be a tough call.

This, of course, is assuming it's an either or situation. I'm not sure how realistic it would be for the Redskins to both grab Matt Flynn AND draft RG III. I say there's no way both happens.

I'd be happy with Tannehill.
His fiancee aint too shabby either.

After careful consideration, I think I want Kyle Orton. Running to a meeting. Will explain more when I return

i like orton's game a lot. he has really grown since his rookie season, and i think he could be a good fit for us. that said, if we were to get him, i still think we should draft a qb to groom for the future since orton will be 30 next year i believe.

I second you on that UGH....we wouldnt be any better off w/ Orton than we are with Grossman. He is not leading us to a Super Bowl, and that's the ultimate goal. Orton is who we thought he is, a game manager. Orton is my last choice, I'd rather have Flynn or Hoyer if we are going after a nfl qb, give them a chance. Orton had his time.

Ideally I want RGIII at #6 or Kirk Cousins in the 2nd round.

1) With Orton we are talking about a caretaker only. Someone who can start just a few games until a whippersnapper is ready.

2) You don't see Orton taking us to the Super Bowl, but you think that Hoyer or Cousins will?

Hoyer I don't want either! I just meant that I'd rather have Hoyer than Orton, at least give someone new a chance.

Ideally I want RGIII like most of us, but if not available I like Cousins in the 2nd round. He has started for a few years, has led Michigan State to good records, just beat a good Georgia team in his bowl game. I would much rather have him than Orton. He is young and can get better. Orton is as good as he will ever be, and it's not good enough. Plus Cousins is a leader download some YouTube of him talking. Players don't follow Orton.
