The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

I think if we don't sign a QB in FA we will pick Weeden, If we sign a FA QB we will be going after Luck, RGIII, Bradford, Tannehill or etc. in the draft. I like Weeden but he would be older than most FA. Weeden makes sense if he starts right away IMO.

So, during a Joe Theismann interview today, the Lebatard Show reported that we'll be signing Peyton Manning once he's released. They cited a source, so I did a search but could only find this: Peyton Manning May Want To Play For Redskins If Released | SI Tracking Blog – Tracking the MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and NCAA On Twitter (http://tracking.si.com/2012/02/06/peyton-manning-may-want-to-play-for-redskins-if-released/)

They asked Joe Theismann his thoughts, and he was pretty upset and surprised the Skins hadn't learned anything from the McNabb debacle. He feels it's time to draft a QB and groom him to be our guy. I agree.

I think it's time to get a young QB be it ours or someone else's IMO.

Joey T is a dumbass. It's not like they would be trading for him, and there is nothing that says they wouldn't draft a rookie QB even if they did bring him in. In fact, I'm quite certain that if he is brought in, expect a rookie QB to be drafted as well.

I personally think unless someone like RGIII falls to us or they really like Blackmon, we'll end up trading down.

If Blackmon, Kalil, RG3, and Luck are all gone -- there's no one worth trading UP for at 6 that I can think of, so I think trading out of the slot may be hard.

If Blackmon IS there at 6 (and we dont trade up for a QB) we have to take him. Possible game changer.

I agree 100%.

BTW we are talking about Peyton Freaking Manning!!!! Who would have thought even during the lockout that PM may be a Redskin in 2012?

NO ONE on this site or any where in the country for that matter.

All of this PM talk is getting me a little excited with anticipation and I need to back it down a little so I am not upset if this whole thing does not happen.

if we get a QB in FA, I'd look at blackmon or claiborne (or OL or maybe even RGIII) at #6, then fill QB in the 2nd or whatnot.

The mistake was not drafting a couple young QBs in waiting. The McNabb debacle was worth the risk, but Shanny should have had a younger guy or 2 behind McNabb learning Kyles system. We can get Peyton, if healthy, and draft a couple guys this year.

If Peyton Manning is released, Redskins are expected to pursue him. Redskins also prepared to pursue free agents Matt Flynn and Kyle Orton.

Preach!
