Kyle Orton and Nick Foles. Sign me up.

Always said it's a longshot. But it's not 100%. It's not necessarily going to be any easier to trade to #2 than #1

Exactly! That is why I don't think either scenario plays out for Washington. Plus, I think we are smart enough to realize that we need the picks more than we need to trade up.

signing orton makes sense in that we'll have a "starter" so it'll be harder to fleece us in a trade, and we can send him with the picks to trade up and make the other team feel better about having SOMEONE that can play QB if they need one.

as part of jockeying for a top 2 pick, this is a good idea... as far as getting him as our 2012 starter... that would be awful.

Kyle Orton wins games. I am not sure how I feel about it yet, but he is like the Rodney Dangerfield of NFL QB's. He is accurate, has a pretty good arm, and is really looking to make a mark as a starting QB. If we sign him, I wouldn't be upset. That would give us the starting QB we want, plus we can use the picks to build talent. We could still land a QB in the 3rd round.

Since you put it that way. I'm all in for Orton and a 3rd round QB. I'll be in a pickle next year, again.

I'd rather try and go after a vet that's at least got some potential. If Henne is let go I say we try him. At least he's got potential. We know what Orton is. Game manager, may not turn it over at the rate Grossman does but also is kinda just a Mr. Checkdown. This team isn't going to the Super Bowl next year. Still need another year or two of rebuilding.

Orton is way better than grossman or beck.

I believe your stretching the truth a bit. But I will say almost anyone is better then Grossman and Beck.

skinsfan69 · 02-04-2012, 12:06 PM

Whatever we do I just hope that the guy that's drafted is inserted as the starter day one. Let him make mistakes and live with it. I only want to see the back up play unless it's injury related. I know Shanahan is going to give us some BS about "whoever gives us the best chance to win" ...but I really don't want to hear that nonsense anymore. By the time this team's ready to be a contender he's going to retire.

skinsfaninok · 02-04-2012, 12:13 PM

Rg3. Said he hopes the colts take him not luck.. lol good luck

What about sign Vince Young then draft Brandon Weeden or Russell Wilson later in the draft?
