2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 3)

I'm not saying Clausen's the guy but do you want a great QB or a great QB for being picked in the 4th round?I believe the correct answer is yes.

Essentially, this is the crux of all my first round arguments. We're not really concerned with whether or not he'll be better or worse than Campbell. We're concerned with will he be a TOP 5 NFL quarterback by 2012. Manning, Rivers, Brees, Brady, Clausen?

If the shoe fits, draft him. But three teams are already passing on that, if he's there.

It hard to make a case that Clausen isnt going to be a very good QB, hes got all the intagables, but his attitude and skills remind me of Jay Cutler.
Out of the top 5 teams in the draft only 2 need a QB, so if hes as good as some people think hes gotta go between 1 & 5.....The skins are a 4-12 team so why not pull the trigger...roll the dice...

Personal preference, really. ;)

If your projection for him is Cutler level, I think the reasons why he'd be a reach at no. 4 would be self-evident, but that's me.

I just wonder where and when we will pick up the franchise QB this team has needed since the early 70's?

People suggest we take a QB in the second round, ok, we already have a QB with the talent a 2nd rounder would offer. Plus he's been in the NFL for 6yrs already. If your suggesting taking a QB next year we'll end up with the same talent we have now cause no way we do as poorly as last year and get top 10 in the draft.There's no bonus for collecting this type of player.

Ideally, we won't be picking in the top ten next year. And it's way too early to call the quality of the class with any certainty. There's one prospect I really like (Ponder), another that really needs to have an awesome year to hold his draft position (Locker), and one guy who could go all over the map, kind of like Snead this year (Mallett), and one more name that could go anywhere from the first to the fifth (Jerrod Johnson of Texas A&M). More guys could throw their names in, but the quality of the depth of the class won't be as good as it is this year.

Which is irrelevant when it comes to projecting top ten quarterbacks. If Locker has his best year in 2010, he'll be a top prospect. Maybe a first overall type. But it has to be a great year. Ponder might get downgraded as we get closer to the draft, but he's a rare talent, I believe.

In either situation your either wanting to stick with JC who is not bad but has not taken it to the next level over 6yrs. If we were talking about the RB spot most of you would have moved on long before now. Example: Mason. Ganther. Alridge. If this was the WR spot you would have moved on by now; example: Too many to list over the past 10 yrs, but ARE rings a bell. Name any position on this team and you can find many of players who were drafted, didn't live up or take it to their full potential, or failed to live up to their contract. Yet when it comes to JC, for whatever reason, people want to see what one more year has in store. Wait he didn't do well can we get another gimmie.

Then you scream that we need an outstanding first round offensive line. Officially no you don't. Many of teams have won SB's with less then all first round talent. But I'll give you one thing though if we did have that talent it would matter who we stuck back there caues his butt should have all day to throw the ball. I will add that JC's issues are not all centered around his not having time to throw the ball. Some of it is knowing what the defense is giving you, some of it is knowing what play would work best for what the defense is giving you and being able to adjust the protection to give yourself the best blocking in order to get the ball where it needs to be. Lastly you need an accurate QB which JC is not. Yes I know about his QB rating, his interception rating and so forth but his issue is getting the ball to the receiver. Too many times he threw dirt balls, over the receivers heads, or behind them. Not to mention he's not that great at clock management. Maybe someone can train him to be like Payton when it comes to clock management but after six years I just don't see it happening.It's insanity to compare Campbell to Ganther/Mason/Alridge, but whatever.

You do have this rare ability to talk yourself into believing what you know to be false at the beginning of your post

Wait he didn't do well can we get another gimmie.I don't think anyone is waiting to see if he can become an elite downfield passer. I just think people are averse to taking minor successes on an offense that is generally lacking of a greater purpose, and replacing it with, you know, whatever the heck that fourth overall pick can get you likeitreallymatters.

27 Teams Passed on Marino. 32 on Brady. I'm not saying that message board types know more then scouts and GM's (God knows the wonderful trade scenarios we come out with provide undeniable proof that we are in fact inferior) but at the same time GM's and scouts constantly make mistakes. So just because Bradford is there at 4 doesn't mean that 3 teams were correct in passing him up. In fact could very well mean 3 teams were stupid in passing him up. Though in this case it's really more like 1 team since the Buc's and Lions already have made commitments to first round QB's.
Hard to imagine that Marino and D. Green were the last two players picked in rd 1 ..... 2 HOF's !

Redskins schedule a private workout with Sam Bradford the 15th of April according to Jason Reid of the washington post

Redskins schedule a private workout with Sam Bradford the 15th of April according to Jason Reid of the washington postbreaking news, it's been pushed back till the day AFTER the draft

originally it was april 20th but then bradford wasn't ready, he would've done it on the 25th but he didn't want to conflict with the schedule of the draft itself

Breaking news: Laron Landry traded for a grilled cheese to Buffalo. (Not the team, but the actual city) Laron will be in charge of the monkey cages at the Buffalo Zoo. His responsibilties include cleaning monkey feces and getting the piss knocked out of him by the gorillas.

Coach Shann-y-han said, quote: "Laron has been a vulgar err . . valuable part of our team, but when a deal like that comes along you just can't let it get away."

General Manager Bruce Allen has denied reports that he has considered trading falling-star RB Clinton Portis for a pack of Kools. "I'm not a big smoker, and I discourage our nation's youth from picking up a nasty habit like cigarettes."

You heard it here first folks.

That is funny. What would be really funny is a safety tandum of Doughty and Horton. Our defense would look like Denver's in Super Bowl XXII every game.

I'd like to see one of them playing SS and have a beast FS. They can both change up and play special teams and cost less than Landry.
