Whoops my bad, that's what happens when I'm a couple of vodkas into the evening lol

Just for you guys keeping score at home. It seems the Skins have Dalton rated a bit higher than Locker right now. This little tidbit below is from a legit insider on another forum. He also throws his opinion in on the matter in regards to Dalton vs Locker. Seems the house is mixed over the two QBs.


After all the talk today im still being told its Dalton over Locker but its close and it shouldnt be . I honestly believe this decision either pushes us towards success or keeps us in the same turmoil we have become accustomed to. Last season the mistake was made on easter so why repeat it again on draft night is beyond me. Hopefully Quinn is available at ten and the decison is taken out of the skins hands as to who is available. Im so tired of ego,pride, and square pegs in round holes. Sometimes the stuff you hear just makes me .(angry face)


That's fine you can disagree all you want but some of our own scouts compare him to a young donovan. His issues with footwork are identical with mcnabbs with the overstride/hop ect. Locker would be a good prospect in my mind if mike Shanahan were running the offense but he is not. Kyles offense doesn't need a mobile runningback for a qb, he needs a smart/accurate one from the pocket. Locker has displayed a lot of physical ability but has never shown it as a pure qb. Taking locker while being a 2 year project is a huge gamble with a impatient owner. Locker could fix his issues and come around but a lot of people feel it is going to be hard to rid him of the ingrained baseball mechanics.


I enjoy reading this guy's posts because you can pretty much bank on it's the truth at the time he posts. I happen to agree with his opinion on the discussion with Dalton vs Locker as well. Just thought I'd share with you guys.

Here's Mallet (I thought he was actually pretty solid)

and Dalton (I'm still not really seeing the fascination)

Good stuff with Mallett, and damn can he throw or what

You don't need to go to another board to know Dalton is rated slightly higher than Locker...but always good to confirm with a second source. Still Quinn is the top choice

Mallett has a rare arm

You tell him Smoot!

I don't want to make a huge deal of it but I don't exactly love the fact that the Shannys seem to have differing views when it comes to the type of QB that is best for the Redskins. That seems like a pretty big issue for Head Coach and OC to differ on...
