Who Will Be The Redskins 2011 Opening Day Starting QB?

I would consider changing even just the footwork that McNabb has used for almost 30 years to be a major overhaul.

Put differently: If McNabb were interested in changing his footwork, he likely would have done so in Philly.

It seems to me that trading for a 34-year-old QB is like getting married: you have to accept the flaws of the person rather than seeking to change the person.

Not saying it's wrong or right, but it happens all the time. There's not a coach in the league that doesn't think they can turn someone else's garbage into a gem. Shanahan did a heck of a job with Plummer, probably figured he could do it with DM. Some guys are just more coachable than others, DM obviously wasn't receptive to it for whatever reason.

At a minimum, Rex has worked himself into the training camp shuffle. I think the Skins will stop just short of parting the Red Sea to get Luck here.

They'll justify it as a franchise move, but the truth is Snyder is addicted to making big name off season moves and is master at manufacturing hope for the fanbase.

I think we should expect the unexpected.

I don't disagree entirely. Per my earlier posts I have thought about the way they might make a big trade like that. On the other hand, Allen is a fiscal conservative & that's a big part of his job here; to make good biz decisions. Considering that there may be a rookie salary cap similar to the nba, Allen may lobby against trading for a 1st round pick this year that will cost $50 mil+ signing bonus. Especially after the failed investment in AH & recent poor attendance at some home games.

But you're right about the potential for a big move, that's part of DS style. I just hope that Allen drives a hard bargain & doesn't give up valuable picks that are really needed after the McNabb deal.

I voted some other QB in the NFL. It's safe to say we will have a new signal caller whether it be a collegiate player or an already established one. What happens with Grossman between now and the end of the season may play a part in the deciding factor, where we ultimately pick in the draft and whose available will also play a part.

I'm just not sold on Grossman despite the fact he played well enough yesterday in a loss, that in some ways it felt like a win. Providing he continues to show progress, I'm sure he will be given adequate consideration. He has two games left on the schedule against two formidable opponents that both have post season aspirations, let's see if it's progress or regress.

Locker is not the droid that you are looking for. Neither is Cam Newton. There are only 2 QB's in the draft that have NFL quality written all over them. Watch the Orange Bowl this year.

As much as I don't care for it, I see Grossman holding down the fort until the young buck Shanny acquires this offseason is ready to take over.

The one name not thrown out there yet that intrigues me because of his predecessor's success is Pat Devlin from the Ass Kicking Chickens at Delaware. He has a similar style as Joe Flacco and has had success this year (68% Comp Pct, 22 TDs, 2 INTs) leading Delaware to the FCS (I-AA) Championship. If he can be had in the 2nd round (3rd if we can acquire a pick in that round), that might not be a bad option.

Wonder what the poll results would have been had I posted this last Monday

I do too. Prior to yesterday Grossman was pretty much an after thought. It's amazing how a little success can totally change perspective.

And if Grossman goes out and tosses 4 picks against the Jags, all bets are off and he's a goat again. LOL

Thinking the 3 people who chose John Beck are ahead of the game!
