The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

Is Grossman paid starter money or a back up?

He is a free agent as of the first couple of weeks of March.

He is not under contract for next year.

Is Grossman paid starter money or a back up?

He was paid back up money to be a starter last year. He's currently a UFA.

I think he will be there at 6 mainly because Seattle or Miami is likely to trade up with St. Louis for RGIII. The question is weather the Redskins take him or try to trade down for more picks.

I think they're trying to figure out a way to get Tannehill along with another offensive blue chip prospect. Ideally they probably would love Blackmon in the first and Tannehill in the second but I have doubts that Tannehill will last that long. And they don't seem enamored with Foles.

There are some who say Blackmon isn't #1 or even #2 on their WR draft big board. I'm not so sure that's true, but Wright and Floyd get mentioned as much if not more.

I think you could see them move up into the mid to bottom of the first for a guy like Tannehill (possibly Weeden) or down into the mid to bottom of the 2nd/top of the 3rd for a Foles/Cousins

Or that 3rd rounder might be heading to NE for Hoyer

I have to admit I'm intrigued by Hoyer. In the meantime have you heard any buzz about the Skins taking someone like Riley Reiff (OT Iowa) or is that just something conjured up by armchair GM's?

This early in the game most people are speculating, generally based on info that is allowing them to make these inferences. So, knowing that Brown's less than 50% to return, knowing that they are looking to target WR and OG in Free Agency, knowing that Trent Williams is "one strike away" and putting aside the QB scenario for a minute it's not too difficult to look at OT and DB as two positions that could be targeted at the #6

Pretty sure he's said we could go OT and that Reiff and Martin would seem to be the guys. I think it depends how we approach the OL in FA

I still can't shake the feeling that taking a chance on a guy that has been a backup for another team could end up like Kolb in Arizona or Cassell in Kansas City. For what those teams gave up I don't think they have been producing near enough to justify it. We have so many holes to fill it seems like that 3rd round draft pick could be put to better use IMO.

Personally I'm warming up to the idea of PM "IF" thats what the team wants to do, but they need to have a plan "B" in place. PM's doctor said he's healthy enough to play which means he's healed and can take a hit, but his numbness in his arm is going to cause some problems. I think I read his doctor saying something like he should get the feeling back around March/April which if we take him gives a little time prior to the draft to see if he's getting better. However if he's in the same situation he is in now then I can't see any other option other then to draft a QB either at #6 or try to trade back to late 1st round and still get a QB.

WR is another issue. Hopefully we can pick up atleast 1 FA and then draft another to compliment Hankerson and give whoever we have as QB some weapons.

and at this point I'd take either RT or FS then CB.

At least Cassell played a whole season in NE, so I don't fault them for going after them. Also, Cassell had an okay year last season, things just fell apart for the Chiefs in general this season. But it is hard to overlook at the Kolb situation and be comfortable going after a back that has seen very limited action.

Who are you referring to when you say "franchise" because in St louis the decision makers who believed in Bradford are all gone?Of course I'm refering to the current front office, GM, HC.
