The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

Manning teaching Foles, without the threat of a Luck behind him, tossing it to VJax and Hankerson, and Fred Davis, and dont forget Gaffney, as well as a great pass catching RB in Helu. Dont forget that Peyton Manning will make everyone on the Offense, EVERYONE, look alot better, including our line and receivers. We keep our pass rushing talent, peyton gets a much better defense than he ever had in indy, and we strengthen some pieces this offseason, making our offense much more polished and talented in the process. Oh, and we have our QB of the future in Foles.........

I definitely would not hate it if the Redskins get a Peyton Manning here, still in his mid thirties, with a chip on his shoulder. Mike Shanahan could not lose with this plan, he is instantly turning the squad into a contender, while still preserving our future in Foles, a very talented capable young QB.

Sign my ass up, I think I just talked myself into wanting peyton manning on our team.

That's good stuff 544!! I dig the optimism! Still can't understand why Peyton would want to come her, but maybe this is BA's off-season to shine???

The problem I have is if and when P.Manning is ready to play will he stay healthy the whole season? Everything I keep hearing about Foles is he's raw, needs to work on his footwork a lot more, and I don't think he's been showing well at the Senior Bowl. So if Manning went down I'd be really concerned about who came in next.

Only if the guy on the right wasn't included.

What about this package:

Rams get:
2012 pick #6
2012 4th rounder
Santana Moss
2013 1st rounder

Redskins get:
2012 pick #2 (RGIII)

I think this is very reasonable. The 4th and Moss are a wash, the only real loss is the 1st next year, which if RG3 has the full backing by our staff and he turns out to be that guy aka: a franchise QB, then that essentially a wash as well and well worth the risk.

moss and 4th have no value, so for them it's deciding whether a 2013 pick is worth giving up blackmon for... which, if I'm the rams, I decline.

o Trade with the Vikings @ 3 for Griffin

o Hope Griffin falls to 6

o Draft Tannehill @ 6

o Trade down/then up for Tannehill

o Take Foles/Weeden in the 2nd round

o Take Osweiler in the 3rd knowing most likely he'll need to sit the year, which would require a FA starting QB ^^^^-------------(least favorite option)/Kirk Cousins

o Trade up for Russell Wilson

Nobody here just a little bit excited about Peyton Manning coming to the Redskins? Been a while since we have had a QB at that level......

a future first and fourth, plus a quality vet to move up 4 spots, AND they still get to swap this years?

Ive been thinking a lot lately, and that is WAY too mucho to move up 4 spots in the draft. I would much rather take a Manning, take a chance on Foles to sit under him for a few, and get the best OLineman we can with our 6th pick, or maybe the top WR in the draft if he falls to 6, even though I dont think he will.

And yeah, thats about it. Sorry if I depressed any of you Redskins fans out there. I could have put a positive spin on it and tell you that the glass is half full, but then you wouldn’t like what I told you it was full of. Ok, the haze is beginning to part and the dust settle. Want me to tell you? Want to see whats left for the Redskins to try at quarterback in 2012. Are you sure you can handle it? Here goes, in 2012 I think the Washington Redskins will reunite the cast of ‘Perfect Strangers’ when they sign Kyle Orton to be the next starter in DC, followed by resigning Rex Grossman to back him up (only question is which one is going to be playing the roll of Balki Bartokomous?). Next, I fully expect the Redskins to draft Brandon Weeden in the 3rd or 4th round. Then our rookie quarterback prospect (Weeden) would only be 1 year and 1 month to the day younger than our starter (Orton) who is a 7 year veteran. Finally, in a move that may prove to be most puzzling/promising- i think the Redskins may use a late draft pick or possible rookie free agent signing to add Colt, I mean Chase, I mean Case Keenum to the practice team and try to develop him from there. Thats just how I was looking at it right now, but its early. Who knows whats going to happen from here?
