The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

I believe that an NFL team is going to draft Kellen Moore (Boise State) in the later rounds of the April 2012 Draft and put him through a learning/developmental process (practice squad/#3 QB/back-up QB) for at least 2 years. At that point, I think that team will have an excellent back-up QB on their sidelines who would be capable to step in and start a few games for a contending team and keep that team in contention.

My belief has nothing to do with "numbers" or "stats" or "blogs by guys-in-the-know". My belief has to do with what I saw with my eyes while watching him play for Boise State over the past several years.

I heard about this last week. I'm sure Bruce Allen has something either already worked out that's unofficial right now, or he's working on making a deal that would get the Redskins the quarterback we truly need.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. He appears to be a shrewd operator and would have the framework of a deal already in place.

The more time goes along, the more I think that we are going to get Manning. Sign Peyton Manning, draft the best O Lineman in the first, Foles in the second, and throw a bunch of money at Vincent Jackson and Dwayne Bowe, and the best corner we can afford.

Manning teaching Foles, without the threat of a Luck behind him, tossing it to VJax and Hankerson, and Fred Davis, and dont forget Gaffney, as well as a great pass catching RB in Helu. Dont forget that Peyton Manning will make everyone on the Offense, EVERYONE, look alot better, including our line and receivers. We keep our pass rushing talent, peyton gets a much better defense than he ever had in indy, and we strengthen some pieces this offseason, making our offense much more polished and talented in the process. Oh, and we have our QB of the future in Foles.........

I definitely would not hate it if the Redskins get a Peyton Manning here, still in his mid thirties, with a chip on his shoulder. Mike Shanahan could not lose with this plan, he is instantly turning the squad into a contender, while still preserving our future in Foles, a very talented capable young QB.

Sign my ass up, I think I just talked myself into wanting peyton manning on our team.

The problem I have is if and when P.Manning is ready to play will he stay healthy the whole season? Everything I keep hearing about Foles is he's raw, needs to work on his footwork a lot more, and I don't think he's been showing well at the Senior Bowl. So if Manning went down I'd be really concerned about who came in next.

So...is anyone planning to correct SBXVII on Lindley?

Duly noted 6'3". I think his issue is accuracy also this week like Foles.

wouldnt shock me at all. it would be a nice deal too.

What about this package:

Rams get:
2012 pick #6
2012 4th rounder
Santana Moss
2013 1st rounder

Redskins get:
2012 pick #2 (RGIII)

I think this is very reasonable. The 4th and Moss are a wash, the only real loss is the 1st next year, which if RG3 has the full backing by our staff and he turns out to be that guy aka: a franchise QB, then that essentially a wash as well and well worth the risk.

What about this package:

Rams get:
2012 pick #6
2012 4th rounder
Santana Moss
2013 1st rounder

Redskins get:
2012 pick #2 (RGIII)

moss and 4th have no value, so for them it's deciding whether a 2013 pick is worth giving up blackmon for... which, if I'm the rams, I decline.
