You have to put a young guy in there to develop at the #3 QB slot. Having a vet #3 was a pretty unusual situation last year.

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

The ideal situation would be to take a guy in the later rounds who is undervalued, and then hopefully he can enjoy some limited success in relief of Jason Campbell, and then after 2010, maybe you can trade him for a first round draft pick.

Not saying that's possible, but that's the only real value a No. 3 QB has at this point.

Do you think they will pick a QB in this draft though?

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

I think it's better than 90% that they pick a qb in this draft.

[quote=Redskin Warrior;432042]Do you think they will pick a QB in this draft though?[/quote]Yes, I do. Especially if we have 5 picks in the 5-7th rounds.

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

Nope, it's going to be a draft pick, preferably someone with experience in the WCO..

If a QB is picked, I hope it is Dennis Dixon because hes gonna drop pretty low cuzza that knee injury, he would be a nice pick up in my mind.

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

He would be a great addition especially since Collins has no WCO experience. We already have a young QB and I dont see a need to have a rookie at #3 unless we are looking to rebuild the QB position. Could someone please tell me why everyone thinks we need to draft a QB for depth? IMO, what we need is #1 Campbell, #2 a descent, proven, youngish backup, and #3 an older vet to help develop the two ahead of him. Gibbs kind of had this philosophy. The #3 should serve as a hands on QB coach to accent and provide examples for the actual QB coach. Campbell is somewhat unproven, I will agree to this but there is no need to spend a draft pick on a QB unless he will be our future starter. Not this year. Maybe next year depending on JC but I cant see us drafting one in the next three years.

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

It's no secret that they plan to target a qb in t he draft to fill the number 3 spot.

I said if we had to draft a QB I would pick Dennis Dixon.

yea i actually like Dennis..but that knee is a concern and he's not actually NFL qb size..other then that lets see how the dice roll

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

WE need a young QB if JC goes down or just doesn't get the job done. For one, I won't be surprised if JC doesn't finish out the year again. Also, what happens if JC just doesn't pan out as hoped for? Worst case scenarios for sure, but what if they did come to be? Better have a young guy in the wings to be groomed quick or you will have to wait another 3 seasons for playoffs.

Thank you, finally someone understands why I said that we should pick Dennis Dixon.

I don't know that all the reasons Gus mentioned indicate an understanding of why we should go after someone who's coming off a major knee injury

No for that particular post I was just saying that someone finally understood what I meant, I wasnt talking about the whole knee thing there.

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

Um, you lost me. But that's ok. Moving on

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

Wasn't Dilfer the 2nd string guy in 49ers? I think he would prob be looking to be the back up somewhere, since I though it was made clear that Collins would be the backup to JC. Maybe if Dilfer doesn't mind being #3 then it would be nice to have two veterans as back ups. I was thinking, do many teams develop a young QB at #3? Just curious...plus I think we'd be in terrible shape if we had to start our #3 QB.

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

vinny said we're looking to draft a mid to late round QB, so i'd take that as being honest. ideally a guy like henne falls to the late 2nd and becomes our next rypien :P realistically, we waste a draft pick on a guy that'll never play and has limited chances of progressing anyways.

I hope its Dennis Dixon, because whoever gets him will be very happy to see how good he really is, if hes knee is healed, but if it isn't I would probably pick somone like Josh Johnson.

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

If Andre Woodson drops to the third round I would take him, because he is like how Jason Campbell was coming into the draft, slow arm motion, mediocre mechanics, a big arm, and if I'm correct some WCO excperience, if we take him we could try to fix all his faults and make him the starter.

why every person that gets cut someone has to start a post to say we should pick them up?

[QUOTE=WaldSkins;432419]why every person that gets cut someone has to start a post to say we should pick them up?[/QUOTE]

I can't speak for anyone else but since Dilfer has played in Seattle with Zorn they have worked together before he got cut I think it would be a good fit that's why I started this thread. But I do agree with others that we need to groom a QB for the future maybe not this year but next year for sure.

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

[quote=SeanTaylor21;432231]Thank you, finally someone understands why I said that we should pick Dennis Dixon.[/quote]

I would pass on Dixon. Personally I just think QB's that come out of that shotgun veer option offense have problems adjusting to the pro game. Alex Smith can't seem to grasp the pro passing game and neither has Vince Young.

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

I don't see the need for Dilfer anymore now that we re-signed TC. Sounds like we'll look for a #3 in the draft.

Re: Will Dilfer Be The #3 QB Now?
 

Exactly, with Todd locked up, we can take a later round risk, or perhaps one of the ......promising guys we sent down last season? Anyway, not a high priority
