Redskins Sign Grossman

Dont forget David Carr!

He's the example we need to remember now. What happens when you ignore the O-line and get the big name QB? He gets sacked 70 times a year and never recovers.

So they should have taken Mike Williams in 2002?

BigHairedAristocrat, why did you choose that name? Big Haired Aristocrat = immoral, corrupt, worthless, cowardly, and lazy.

Thats one. Name me another. Rivers MIGHT qualify. (Still trying to figure out just who WAS the #1 pick in THAT draft!).

I bet we can easily name more #1 overall selected QB's that tanked or busted than we can name more "Peyton Mannings".

My point was simply it is a HUGE gamble taking ANY QB #1 overall. If the gamble works, great, the GM is a hero.

But more times than not, that #1 pick as a QB will not live up to what is expected of him.

I have not disagreed with your point in bold above. I have simply indicated that it is limited. Taking a QB at #1 is both high risk and high reward. However, you have simply highlighted the "risk" part. You have been ignoring the "reward" part.

Wouldn't surprise me either if Grossman doesn't make the final roster...but then I also wouldn't be surprised if he's the opening day starter.

OMG. I spent so much time laughing at the Bears for starting Grossman. Now I might have to laugh at us. :)

New Blood here,


O-Line first and last. Grossman is a good move, experience and not an old man.

Gotta get the LT filled then JC or Rex can have an easier time of it. I don't see Colt here much longer.

I am so glad Vinnie is gone.

That does seem to be happening a lot lately.

So the Jets shouldn't have taken Ferguson? We can go back and forth all day citing failures and successes.

So the Raiders should have taken Gallery over Rivers :D
