The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

Its the off season so that means I usually go into the hibernation til the draft and then go back into hibernation till pre-season. But I'm going to try to stick around this year. :)

I'm a frequent of the bleacher report, mostly for their list of cool things, but I came across this article. Just wondering how you all felt about it.

Bleacher Report is pretty much like the Onion in my opinion.

That said, I'd be willing to move Helu in pursuit of a high caliber QB. (via Draft)

I literally don't know how any one can say they don't want rg3 after having what we had a QB the last 5 years

^^^^^This is one of the most cogent and analytical postings of the year!

The Redskins have not had a competent QB - - let alone a better than average one - - for about a decade now. RG3 may indeed turn out to be a bust when all is said and done but the odds are that he will be no worse than any of the QBs that the Redskins have trotted out on the field for the last ten years.

this.

and as for the Helu thing... as much as I like him and see a tremendous upside and future..... I trust in Shanahan and the way the line played at the end of the year to be content with Royster, Hightower, and a young late round GEM.

indeed, if it means getting a franchise qb, i guess I'm for it. even tho i love the kid.

John Clayton predicts Redskins will trade up, draft Robert Griffin III - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/post/john-clayton-predicts-redskins-will-trade-up-draft-robert-griffin-iii/2012/01/05/gIQABHztcP_blog.html)

“How about Washington” Cerrato interrupted.

“Ah, they’ll trade with St. Louis and get RGIII,” Clayton answered.

He couldn't be a real bust. A guy like him even if he has the passing ability of Tebow has the legs and agility to at least be exciting to some degree. Can we even comprehend what "exciting" could possibly mean when it comes to our QB? I can't.

He said Helu was worth both a 2nd and a 4th, i can't believe that is the case. I mean i could be wrong but i doubt he would be worth that much.

Many a college player has had a hard time adjusting to the speed and complexity of the pro game.....Heath Shueller , Matt Leinart,Rynn Leaf...etc.(sp)

I love Helu, but if we trade him and don't re-sign Hightower then RB becomes a need again.

Helu
2012 3rd rounder
2013 2nd rounder to move up 4 spots, worth it?
