Last year? I was not suprised only because Jake Locker was already off the board, and we never seemed particularly thrilled with Gabbert, which with hindsight seems like a good move now. on the other hand, after a year of mediocre to downright dreadful quarterback play, we need our guy now, so that he is ready to go in a year.
KI Skins Fan 12-22-2011, 11:03 AM I was one of the few who didn't freak out about the 'skins not drafting a QB this year. I'm glad we addressed other areas of need and had the patience to wait until the next draft when we would have a better selection of QBs to choose from.
But, I think this season is much different. We HAVE to draft a QB. IF we don't, then I will start questioning the sanity of our front office. However, the FO has done a great job with player acquisitions, so I can't see them NOT drafting a QB unless a Bona fide, young, franchise QB is found in free agency.
I share your views except that I can't imagine finding a young, franchise QB in free agency.
I think that we'll have a rare opportunity to land one of three top notch prospects in Luck, Barkley, and RGIII and I'm optimistic that the Skins FO will come through for us.
skinsfaninok 12-22-2011, 11:08 AM If the rams get the 1st pick which I think they will, I'd offer 3 first for Andrew Luck, at least 2. Call me crazy and an idiot but most teams that need a QB will be thinking the same thing.. Luck is a manning type elite QB prospect and if u land this guy we are set at QB for years to come.

I don't think you're crazy at all.
To even consider doing what you suggest, one must first believe that Luck is a rare prospect in the Peyton Manning mold. Like you, I do.
Secondly, one must believe that a QB of that quality can make a huge difference for your team, turning losses into wins and making your team a perennial playoff contender. I do.
So, I would offer as many as three firsts, if necessary.
P.S. If the Skins had Andrew Luck, then D.C. would become a prime destination for top FA's. That's how the Skins could sign the equivalent of a first round WR talent to pair with Luck.

skinsfaninok 12-22-2011, 11:38 AM Exactly K I, if we had Luck just imagine the impact he would make on the team on/off the field. We would become a Big time draw and of course a winner again. I really think he's the best QB that's came out since manning, will he be an Elite QB? I truly think so

I predict that he will announce that he's entering the draft but he will only play for the Washington Redskins.

Yep, heard it on the radio. He would look good in burgundy and gold, close to the USC uniforms.
CultBrennan59 12-22-2011, 11:43 AM I think Barkley will say that he's leaving, BUT will not hire an agent incase he has a change of heart to return, which he won't so ultimately 1 month from now he will be in the draft.
12thMan 12-22-2011, 11:51 AM I think he's staying at USC.
