That would be me.
That would be you indeed. I wish I could trust your sources better, but one random post does not a reliable source make.

Not at all, didn't intend to shoot the messenger.
Just speculating on the plausibility/logic behind some of the info out there.
Holmgren is quoted to have said that he wants to bring in competition.
It just doesn't seem logical to me to draft high or give up high draft picks for competition, that would be for replacement.
I look at it this way, there are fans here who seem to think we need to do whatever it takes to get RGIII to even include throwing all our draft picks away this yr and possibly next simply cause they think he will be the "franchise" QB of the future. What I find interesting is apparently no one else is supposed to think that way either only the Skins.
I'm telling you other teams although might not need a QB will probably try to get him if they think he's better then what they got now. I said this back in Nov. when Mock drafts were coming out saying this is how the draft will go:
1-Colts (need a QB) Luck
2- Rams (need a LT) Kalil
3- Vikes (need a WR) Blackmon
4- Bucks (need a CB) Claiborne
5- Skins (need a QB) RGIII
I said any of those teams would probably take a second look at RGIII if he is supposed to be the "franchise" QB everyone thinks he is. Then there is Dolphins, Titans, Seattle, Cardinals, etc. etc. etc.
We would be better served to try to pick up a FA QB and pick up a WR/QB tandum in the first two rounds. I don't want Orton but if it's expected for him to simply be back up to whoever is drafted then I'm ok with it. I just don't want him starting otherwise we might as well keep Grossman, I think his knowledge of the scheme out weights the few less INT's Orton provides.

Well I know they're referencing us because I found the link to that forum in the link backs section at the bottom of this thread. But yeah that's horrible. One random guy comes in here and says he thinks McCoy and Shipley are coming here and then it's a legit rumor? Only in the offseason.
Very similar to this.....

If the Browns get Bradford I am going to be bitter as hell...
One mans loss is another mans gain. I'll be estatic. Let some other team make the idiotic draft pick trade for Bradford.

I think I'm ready for "QB Apocalypse: The Seventh Sign"
I get excited when there is a new chapter.

Rex was often a playmaker for the opposition, as well. He has a major problem with turnovers and, after 9 years in the league, it doesn't look like he can correct that problem.
Regardless, I think it is now clear to most observers that an NFL team needs to have a QB who is well above average in order to be a contender. That's not Rex.
Nevertheless, I would support signing him as a backup. I think he's more than adequate in that role.
I believe that if Rex does come back, it will be as a backup--eventually. Depending upon the draft choice at QB, I do think that it's also possible for Rex to be the starter for the first six-eight games in 2012. Regardless, I hope we re-sign Rex because he is probably the best option as backup QB.

That's okay...you will come around after we win the NFC East.

Peyton: I tell you what, if you make your son "disappear" and let me run the offense I want to play, I'll come to Washington and save your hide.
