Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)

From what we all know as of right now, Manning does appear to be plan B if the Rams to do accept what we are offering for the #2 pick, so Manning is definately in the picture with said rookie to be named at the draft.

how do we know this? did i miss something?

QBs are such a mystery. Even finding a guy who can stick around and be a career back-up seems ridiculously hard to do. See below for the last 12 years. Drafting high does seem to improve the odds, but there are also a lot of gems laken later (Brees, Rodgers, Brady of course, maybe Dalton). Shanny gets grief for whiffing the last couple of years, but whiffing is more common that hitting.

2011 - Newton, Locker, Gabbert, Ponder, Dalton
2010 - Bradford, Tebow, Clausen, McCoy
2009 - Stafford, Sanchez, Freeman, Pat White
2008 - Ryan, Flacco, Brohm, Henne (Matt Flynn taken in the 7th)
2007 - Russell, Quinn, Kolb, BECK, (terrible year for QBs)
2006 - Young, Leinert, Cutler, Clemens, T. Jackson
2005 - Alex Smith, Rodgers, Campbell, Frye (Orton taken in the 4th, Cassell and Fitzpatrick in the 7th)
2004 - Eli, Rivers, Big Ben, Losman, Schaub (great year for QBs. Where were we?!?!)
2003 - Palmer, Leftwich, Boller, RGIII the first
2002 - Carr, Ramsey, Harrington, McCown, Gerrard
2001 - Vick, Brees, Q. Carter
2000 - The Brady 6, Tom Brady

How would you all feel about Manning and Cousins?Cousins in particular or any later round developmental QB?

Manning + a 1st round OT + a later round QB (4th round or down) is awesome.
I would much prefer Russell Wilson but as long as its Manning + OT I would be okay with any developmental QB.

If I had to bet here's how I'd see the QB frenzy shape out:

MIAMI- Matt Flynn

Cleveland-RG3 (Those 2 first this year would do it for me if I'm STL)

Washington- Manning/Hoyer or Rookie

Seattle- Ryan Tannehill

INDY- Of course Luck

NYJ- Sanchez only because they have no other choice

KC- Orton

MIN-Ponder/Jason Campbell

Drafting 5th. Took Sean T. We could have had Big Ben

Cousins in particular.

Cousins in particular.

I'd be more than ok with that.

I'd really like Manning/RG3(for cheap) but I already ate all my cake.

Cousins in particular.

I feel like the Redskins FO just decides to spin the wheel every week and obsess over whichever QB it lands on.

Change Redskins FO to fan base and you're spot on

How would you all feel about Manning and Cousins?

Have a hard time believing Cousins is the young QB they have been waiting 3 years to get their hands on. Seems like settling to me and I don't want them to settle.
