I See QB Rumors (2012 QB Thread: The Sixth Sense)

I think most of us believe that the skins will still add a rookie or 2 if they sign Manning but the real issue is how high a priority it will be. Will they still pursue high level prospect like RG3 or Tannehill as the future QB in waiting or will they throw a late round QB dart at the wall just to give the illusion that they are still thinking long term? Oh well...I need to see how the whole QB depth chart shapes up before I will be happy with this Manning signing that we appear headed towards...

I really don't think MS is that dumb to handcuff a guy like Manning.

Agreed, but unfortunately I wouldn't put it past him either.

Good news for Smoot. Looks like some chatter this morning from the few ES insiders are saying the Skins possibly looking into bringing Chase Daniel in for a backup role. Talk about going full circle.

edit: DAMN YOU SPELLING NAZI!!

I don't even care about Chase Daniels. Chase Daniel on the other hand...

Yeah one of my buddies told me about that rumor. Not sure if he saw it on ES. No idea where that's coming from. If it's due diligence or what. I know the Saints really like Sean Canfield but I don't think they'd let CD go easily.

But man, Manning, Chase and Ryan Tannehill! Sweeeet. Doubt it would happen though.

I'm all for signing Manning I just don't think the Colts let him go.. Again he's PEYTON MANNING and sorry but A.Luck will not be Manning in his first 2 seasons

I think they mentioned he is one of many options they are exploring so it fits your suggestion of doing their due diligence. Just thought that would put a smile on your face. Now, if they could get Peyton, Chase and Matt Moore in here, I think your head would explode.

Good point, although I think they could consider trading down from the #6 spot and get more picks, allowing them to sign someone either later in the first or early in the second round.

I don't think Mike's intelligence is at issue either, in fact my bet is he's highly intelligent. It's the pride/ego thing holding him and his team(s) back IMO.

...hopefully the last two seasons humbled him a bit and IF Manning becomes a Skin we'll see Manning's offense, not Kyle's.

Neither was Peyton Manning in his first two seasons.

That would be something if the Redskins were able to secure both Peyton Manning and RGIII, but I think it's a one or the other type of deal. Really, what probably separates Luck and Griffin from the rest of the pack is that both appear to be starters from day one, while the others could be top notch quarterbacks after a couple of years of development. Which is why it makes most sense if we go the Manning route to pick up one of the other guys (Tannehill, Foles, Cousins, Moore.)
