I cant believe anyone would even choose Young. He's just not a pro QB. I picked Palmer over Kolb because Palmer has proven to be a solid NFL QB working under the worst coach at any level of football.
I cant believe anyone would pick Young no matter what the situation!
If Young had a solid head on his shoulders he would be dangerous.

With the exception of Brees everything I laid out was spot on. I can easily replace the Saints and make my case with the Steelers. They took Roethlisberger, Heath Miller, Rashard Mendenhall, Santonio Holmes(yes I know Holmes was traded, but he did help them win a SB), Pouncey, in rounds 1, and took Mike Wallace and Emmanuel Sanders in rounds 3, and Aaron Brown in round 6. Notice none of them are free agents, all performed extremely well in the post-season.
I'm not saying what you're advocating is wrong, I would just prefer the Redskins to build their nucleus through the draft, especially our offense like the teams I mentioned did. I'm not against signing young free-agents like Sidney Rice and Jason Jones, but unrestricted free-agents with that ability at that age is extremely rare, so we can't depend on filling our holes through FA's.
I am not disputing any of what you are saying, the only reason this conversation started was because it was suggested that the Redskins will not be "rebuilding" unless it is done 100% through the draft. And that's just not true. In a perfect world the Redskins would have some nice young talent from the vinny years on board and a bushell full of draft picks stockpiled for the next few years and they would fill every hole with a young stud that they drafted. That's not reality though...the reality is that the cubbards are bare and we can either use only the draft and wait at least 5 years while the roster is remade or we can try and use a combination of under 30 free agents and the draft and try and get better sooner.

Yes but was actually good at one time before the Eagles rolled the dice on him, Young has never been good.
Geez we need Chad Pennington on the poll as well!

Why be so stupid to play a pick up game when you are free agent and you are injury prone?

That's amazing. Poor guy has the worst luck in the world it seems...but it always pretty dumb of him to go out there and play ball when he's trying to prove to all teams this summer that his arm is healthy enough to play again
