Redskins likely to pass on Flynn at QB | Washington Examiner (http://washingtonexaminer.com/sports/cheers-and-jeers/2012/02/redskins-likely-pass-flynn-qb/270836)

Many of you are probably thinking, "Why is this guy bringing up Flynn again? We have moved on from him!" Its not that I think Flynn is necessarily the answer to our QB problem, but I do think he is a viable option. He could be the answer, even the best option available.

The Examiner article seems to suggest that the Redskins have not moved off their opinion of Flynn since his exit from college. The story fruther observes that many NFL scouts now have a very different opinion of Flynn, but oh no, not the Redskins! The Redskins are not changing their dogmatic view of Flynn as an option for our QB starved team and fans.

This article just rubs me wrong. Of all the names mentioned as possible successors to Grossman, Flynn seems like one of the best and most logical options to me. But since the Redskins are unwilling to change their early/initial view of him, they will not likely consider him as a QB solution in 2012.

Leadership changes, but it seems that the Redskins get stuck with old ideas and just cant seem to move off them. Just like Manning, there is a lot of new info on Peyton, his injury, his prospects for rehab and recovery, and the effects of all that on his passing skills. But somehow, I get the impression that the Redskins still view him as a Super Bowl, franchise caliber QB. What about the new information? Shouldn't that matter to us? What about the empirical evidence that we have on Flynn? Surely that matters!

Evidently not, the Redskins seem to be still stuck in the "once established, never change mode" when it comes to player evaluation. Sorry for the rant, but the Redskins need to wake up, catch up with current thinking, stop being so D#&N dogmatic in their views of facts, and the impact those facts have on player performance. Skills erode; players get worse; some players get better with experience and instruction. WAKE UP!:soapbox:

Kiper: Hey The Goat, how's Mrs. The Goat? Did she ever end up taking that pilates class you were talking about last time? I saw this article in the NY Times about a new game show that's being filmed out here and I know The Goat Jr. likes Robot Giraffe fights so he might enjoy going to a taping.

Lol. I love Kiper.

I don't think the Skins are alone in doubting Flynn.

Or maybe there are reasons why he was a 7th round draft pick.

Would you have any concerns about giving him a big money contract based on little we've seen from him?

None whatsoever. He's had one brilliant game out of 3 or 4 total, so using my completely logical theory that means he's worth a 5 year, 100 mil contract with 50 mil signing bonus. Lock it up!

Smootsmack, has there been any mention of Ponder or Sanchez?

I can't imagine MIN is willing to give up on Ponder yet, but M n M just discussed the possibility of them drafting RG3. If MIN were to draft RG3, I would hope the Redskins would take a long look at Ponder.

I could see Sanchez leaving the Jets though, and while I've never been a huge fan of him, he's certainly shown he has talent at points in his career.

Ponder? Not that I've really heard

Sanchez? Yeah, for sure if Manning goes there.

Ya I can't see Minny giving up on Ponder this early, but when M n M brought it up I figured I'd ask.

Sanchez could be a solid option, bring him into compete, draft a mid rd guy like Cousins/Weeden.

ES really is going to shit a brick come draft day, I think..
