Redskins Reconstruction: Quarterbacks

Don't forget Leinart. Guy already has a year in the system, but Seattle seems like a much better fit. Then again if Carroll was interested in his former QB he would have signed him before the lock out.

Not as much interest in Leinart anymore. Feeling is he's probably not going to be more than what they believe they think they can get out of Beck anyway. Vince Young, on the other hand...

Just heard from someone else about the Redskins' interest in VY. Still have no idea how they would plan on doing that.

This time of year kind of sucks for me, too much information. It's as much work filtering through the crap as anything else. That said, this sounds like it could be fairly legit. Not like last year's Peppers rumors, which I could instantly tell was bogus

Do you think it sounds like VY would replace Grossman/Mcnabb as the place holder or would it end the possibility of using a 1st or 2nd round pick on a QB? I am okay with them signing him instead of Grossman but putting my eggs in his basket as the long term answer I am not okay with at all.

That's a good question. Maybe they have Young battle it out with Grossman with Beck as the #3. Or they let both Grossman and McNabb walk and take a QB in the later rounds, someone like Taylor or McElroy maybe? But then you're talking about Beck as your #2! Not sure I want that.

If they got Young, would they also take a QB in the 2nd round (they won't in the first, not at #10)? I suppose, but my gut is getting Young would mean they don't want to, or can't, invest in a QB in the first couple of rounds.

It's just a shame we have to do this all over again this year. If it's Young, or Locker, or whoever, I'd just like to get a QB here that will be here under center for at least the next 5 years. 5 years, that's all I ask

Young & Locker I could get behind...but Young & grossman scares the hell out of me!

Agreed. I don't see the upside of Young and Grossman

Young is a scary situation for us honestly but for some reason I always thought the redskins would make a serious play for him. I think the guy has rare talents but can he get over his mental shit? That's a big question mark

The irony of this VY conversation is the Titans loss to the Redskins was the catalyst that put this potential release/ trade into motion.

Young had a solid year last season, 98.4 qb rating.. He will never be a pure passer nor will he ever be a TOP 5 QB but he's a winner and that's something the Redskins havn't done in a while.

I would take VY over Smith any day. Smith just doesn't have IT. VY has a lot of upside and intangibles, but has battled his personality and emotional issues. I say give him an incentive laden contract and write him a VERY large prescription for PAXIL and WAMMO.....
