QB Apocalypse: The Seventh Sign

Per CrazyCanuck's request:

If some of the rumored QBs attached to us were the Seven Deadly Sins

Andrew Luck (Lust): The QB we can't have but desire so intensely

Peyton Manning (Gluttony): Really because are we just gluttons for punishment going after yet another aging veteran with a big name?

Robert Griffin III (Greed): Greed on the part of the team we'll likely have to trade up for to get RGIII

Kyle Orton (Laziness): Really, we can't do better than this? Are we even trying?

Mark Sanchez (Wrath): If we get him, a lot of people will be pissed (could apply to Colt McCoy and countless others as well

Ok, Canuck handle Pride and Envy

I think Peyton Manning could double as gluttony and envy....

Epic thread title.

I think Matt Flynn is Envy since people want him based on the idea that he'll become our version of Aaron Rodgers, and we'll start slinging the ball around like they do in Green Bay.

good stuff

Pride would be drafting a late round QB and keeping on the shelf to develop while the Shannahans put Rex back out on the field for the first few weeks, since they're too proud to admit that even they can't make him good.

Thank Crazy Canuck for the thread title

Stay tuned for future QB threads:

Eight is Enough-where we argue that we should bring in 8 QBs to camp and let them have at it
The Nine-where Sonny Jurgensen gives his thoughts on the QB situation
Diez-where the entire thread is in Spanish
Something Clever About the Number 11-where the entire thread is in smilies
Twelve Angry Men-Where Schneed links to his blog

I'm gonna say Grossman is pride. Redskin attitude is that Rex MUST be good; he HAS to be good; we KNOW he is better than what we have seen so far! For goodness sake, the Redskins signed him to play QB, we know he can PLAY the position. We're too proud to admit otherwise.

Rex (Pride) - As in KS' blind stubborn pride. "We don't need a new QB, I can make it work with Rex. He'll cut down the turnovers this year and he's our best playmaker."

Tannehill/Foles/Cousins..... (Envy) - While our developmental QB is fighting his guts out we'll be envious of all the NFL-ready QBs we coulda had.

Yeah the only reason I didn't make Rex pride was because I was trying to think of QBs that have been attached to us that aren't on our roster
